If you could ONLY spend 31 points in Fury, would you take 4/5 dual weild spec, or 2/5 DW spec and 2/2 Improved Execute? What do you feel is more important during a boss fight: Overall sustained damage, or being able to crank it really hard when the boss goes under 20%? In this hypothetical situation, you have a 65 dps offhand.

I'd say DW spec as in this situation you have a pretty darn good offhand. You'd still be able to crank it really hard sub 20%. If rage generation's a problem popping Juju flurry should help.

Improved execute should not be underestimated in my opinion. Lowering the rage cost from 15 to 10 basically ensures that you will be able to hit it every time the global cooldown comes up.

I would definitely go with imp execute, as I don't think any fury build is complete without it. Especially with blizzard's current habit of having bosses enrage toward the end of a fight, imp execute is extremely valuable.

Imp execute is awesome.

No piercing howl because I'm assuming you're going 5/31/15 or similar; with no TM pvp is gimp anyway. Can't think of any other reason you'd only put 31 in fury.

Honestly I think PH is worth picking up even if you don't PvP. Well, if you're alliance anyway. It's useful for kiting on encounters like Gluth, and the tradeoff is minimal.

I think imp execute is over-rated, you can only use the skill on the last 20% of any fight. Whereas dual wield spec is up all the time. Dual wield spec for meee :D

I think you're severely underestimating the amount of damage a warrior does under 20%, especially when using Deathwish etc.

I fully understand how much damage a warrior does at 20%, i just fail to see how much difference 5 rage on execute will do to that. Especially when you have Deathwish and Recky up, rage just isn't much of a problem for me.

The amount of people who throw 17 points in prot and skip a talent that gives 5% avoidance makes me cringe :/

Are the other talents you're getting really worth 5% less physical damage taken?

last stand and imp shield block and defiance. Lots of people say defiance is noob, but 15% increased raid threat threshold is pretty good imo. My guild is a bunch of clowns who jump in after my first weapon swing ><

5 / 31 / 15 seems a viable spec to me for good OTing DPS and solid tank aggro. I currently have 8/8 T1 Might, DFB + Drillborer, and almost 900 AP unbuffed in full tanking gear. Only about 12% crit unbuffed, but in full DPS DW gear that goes up to 25.35%, with about the same AP, +8% to hit (once I get enough arcanite for my LH helm it'll be 10%). I'm about the number 3 or 4 tank in my guild right now, easing tanking duties onto others as I'm deploying to Iraq soon and they'll be losing me (used to be the #2 tank). Seeing as I'm now in more of an OT role and on DPS duty most of the time, do you guys think it'd be worth respeccing to 5/31/15 or something similar for the last month or so I'll be around, or would I have to go 20/34/0 to really be of any use? Oh, and I'm currently 9/11/31 spec for tanking, and we're working on NR gear for Huhuran but have everything up to her on farm.
