Maybe you have read most of the thread, maybe you haven't. In any case what you really want to read is this: http://elitistjerks.com/f31/announcements.html

Original Post:

I would first like to say that i have been an avid reader of the JERKS forums since i first hit 70 a little over a year ago and i contribute allot of my knowledge obtained in this game (namely with tanking mechanics and gear requirements for raiding) to have come from the excellent posts and theory that i have found on this site. This is my first post here and i have read the doe's and dont's about posting here and i have seen many people post in this thread get slammed for asking stupid questions about gearing and specs. I also know that that you all hate it when people post that kind of drivel as well.

I have spent about 5 hours reading off and on through the 62 pages of this thread (which seems to have started preTBC) and i cant seem to find an answer to my current dilemma. So here goes;

I have been a tank since i hit 70 and during that time i have managed to acquire some PVE type warrior dps gear and I have done some BG honor grinds and picked up a few pieces of pvp gear as well. Here recently my raiding has pretty much petered out due to lack of interest in running the same 10 mans over and over and farming the same 25 mans when on the once a month occasion we do have 25 people online. So i decided to make an earnest effort and form up a 5v5 team and try my hand at arena. I must say that it is allot of fun and very different compared to raiding the same bosses over and over. My first real week at trying it out was last week and we did fairly well with our MS Warrior / MS Warrior / Heal Pally / Heal Pally / Ice Mage group, ended at 8 wins and 2 losses.

Now to my question's and don't hate me for it please. Heres my armory: The World of Warcraft Armory

I am wanting to maximize my dps, or help my arena team in the best way i can with whatever weapon choice is wiser for my team composition and I am unsure about the weapon i need to be using. We are striving for a rating that will eventually net us some s3 gear (s4 would be nice but i am skeptical on getting there, if ever). My professions are Miner / Enchanter so i cant craft anything, thus limiting my options to using the gorehowl i have now, or purchasing the s2 two-handed mace, or the s2 two-handed sword for honor, when s4 goes live on the 24th?

Like i stated earlier i have read through a good majority of this thread (not all as there are times throughout it where newb's come in and ask dumb questions or when arguments start and i just skip through those parts) and i can't really find the best answer for my dilemma. i realize my problem might seem to be a newb's plea for someone to tell me what the ultimate weapon of choice for arena MS warriors is, but really it I am just trying to find some concrete data that will support one or the other as the better choice for my team comp and current gearing; 2h sword? 2h mace? or 2h axe?

Thank you in advance.
