From what I've seen among armory the most popular tank spec for warriors seems to be 12/8/51, picking up impale, and basically the only thing you lose is 3 points in shield spec and puncture, and...

He only parries in between casts, its very rare, but it does happen (rarely, since he is casting about 99% of the fight). I would not recommend putting your melee behind the boss.
