The NEW Cookie Cutter Arms Warrior

Got my warrior to pull over 6k dps. Let me know if you have any suggestions to help me hit 7k. This is my Arms Warrior in a nutshell... 100% ArP w/out trinket proc, 40% Crit, 3700Ap unbuffed.

My Gear
This isn't BIS but it is best I can do w/ my setup.
[Conqueror's Siegebreaker Helmet]
[Broach of the Wailing Night]
[Wrynn's Shoulderplates of Conquest]
[Drape of the Drakerider]
[Conqueror's Siegebreaker Battleplate]
[Bitter Cold Armguards]
[Archon Glaive]
[The Diplomat]
[Gloves of Bitter Reprisal]
[Belt of the Betrayed]
[Wrynn's Legplates of Triumph]
[Boots of Living Scale]
[Dexterous Brightstone Ring]
[Planestalker Signet]
[Pyrite Infuser]
[Banner of Victory]

Spec
55/8/8. Tip=1-2 points in arms tree for weapon mastery. 8 points in Prot tree for 15% extra HS/cleave Crit. This spec is way better dps than 54/17 IMO.

Glyphs
Mortal Strike, Execute, Rend

Proc priority
Exe>OP>MS

Single target Rotation
Charge, Rend, Mort Strike, Slam, Execute, Overpower, then wait for OP/EXE procs. Use Heroic Strike inbetween procs if rage > 60.

Multipal target Rotation
Spam cleave inbetween procs. Make sure you use sweeping strikes. Pop Bladestorm when trash is 50%. Pro Tip= if more than 4 targets spam Thunder Clap!

Stat
STACK ArP till they break it! I dont care even if you have 0 ArP rating. ArP>Str>Crit>Haste. Don't stop stacking ArP until you hit 100% ArP. 84% passive, then 16% from battle stance. Pro Tip= Use Hearty rhino meat for 3% ArP!

Grim Toll and Mjolnir Runetone
These trinket are L33T if you have 50% or less ArP. Once you can get 80% ArP then save them for PVP. Banner of Victory + Greatness is the best. 100% ArP is ten times better than 50% ArP + 50% proc.

Executioner vs Beserking
Executioner is 2nd best enchant. It looks sexy, and its cheap. Only enchant Executioner if your ArP is 80-90% though. Dont touch it otherwise. 99% of the time Beserking is going to put out more dps!

Professions
Jewel Crafting and Blacksmithing. These 2 professions can give you +82 extra of your desired stat. EX. +82 ArP = 6% ArP

Axe vs Mace vs Sword
AXE FTW!!! Don't spec mace or sword unless you dont have a good polearm or axe.
