I was thinking about this specc

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?warrior=352020212303010500201223231251000000000000000000000000000050351220000000000000000000&glyph=021617060102&version=9658

I would pretty much spam revenge cause its CD is gone because of the arms talent and dont ya think this specc will do pretty moderate dmg t00?

Have you ever seen a raid tank using bladestorm?? that would be cool.I'm looking forward to see more tanks using this specc in 3.1 ^^

PS: I made an account just to post this specc cause i wanted to share it with you all  Cheesy

Doesn't seem like you totally grasp the concept of tanking, and how it's done.

You're missing way too many tanking talents for anyone to call that a tanking spec.

Depending on what gear you have, you MAY be able to tank some heroics (again, assuming you're close to, if not at the max level gear). You could even tank them with a 2 hander. Heck, you might even be able to tank a naxx 10 run, depending on your group and healers. This also assumes you fully understand all the intracacies of tanking these zones, and your dps and healers know what THEY are doing.

However, seeing as you're suggesting this spec for tanking Ulduar, I'm guessing you don't have the necessary knowledge to do that (you may have the gear, but that hardly means much nowadays). You will be squashed so quickly, but worse than that, your threat generation will suck, which means that the DPS will have to pull back on their damage, meaning bosses will eventually enrage because the overall DPS is too low  ... I hope I don't need to go on, and that you get the point.

Use the tree designed for tanking to tank the top level (at least at this stage) raid, and leave the DPS trees alone to do DPS.

If you had to make a failspec with Unrelenting Assault, why not make it like this one?

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?warrior=350233012300510000221200200000000000000000000000000000000053351225000010421000000000&glyph=021617060102&version=9658

It still fails, and is missing alot of key talents - But i don't see why you would spec for Bladestorm if your intention was to spam Revenge O.o

 Don't post it then... It still is an arm specc.

To the OP:
 Why would you like to "tank" with an arm specc??? What do you need? To tank or to DPS?
With that kind of specc, you won't tank nor DPS effectively... So... What's the point?
 And what would be your stuff? Def oriented or DPS?

 Nah, honestly, you should forget that specc.  The reason why we put some points in arms as a prot specc, isn't really for DPS. This is for threat first, the DPS is a bonus.
 You have to make choice and think "utility" for raids.  For now, nobody would and should take you in Naxx and even in heroics. Your DPS will be as bad as a healer which have a roll, not to DPS but to heal.
A tank should be a tank not a DPS and if you're worried about your DPS as a tank, then reroll DK or Druids.
 And having three different trees doesn't mean that you "HAVE" to put points in each of them. Even for hybrid classes, it is useless to put points half/half. You just put some additionnal points to another tree to improve/optimize/support your first specc.

tanking isnt being able to hold aggro while dealing as much damage as possible its about holding aggro whilte taking as little damage as possible, your spec is just flawed, i cant even call it a tank spec, if you dont know how to play the class just copy those who do

See 2 posts up.  If there wasn't any way to switch specs basically whenever you wanted...the thought alone would have merit.  But, with the introduction of duel specs...it really doesn't make sense to even think about it anymore.
