well imo they could just put frost as the tank spec Again as it was in the beginning... this way all the tanks should use 1-h, and all plate dps should use 2-h
My opinion is, that if you care about how you feel with two one-handers, from a style point of view, you shouldn´t care at all. Play what serves you the best, stylewise. SMF > TG in a single-target fight is a simple mathematical truth, not to be discussed. If you want to squeeze out the most, you´ll cope with that. If you care more about style, then go for TG.
I mean if you're in your average guild it won't matter. If you use DKP/SK/Roll and let anyone roll on any loot it won't matter. In the case of a guild who distributes loot as necessary to progress, where it'll do the most overall raid utility, you won't be taking a 2h from a DK though.
Dont steal from other classes. Use 1h
We all pay to play the game, why should warriors have to sacrifice 2h weapons and be forced to play different from what they'd like to, just because somebody else has a problem with it?
with coining a heroic zerat this week i switched over to titans grip using it and a TF uroe. I only got to play with it during tonights raid but i havent really decided if its worth switching from a heroic and heroic TF one handers. I already upgraded both 2hs so thats not really a drawback of going Titans grip.
Staying on topic though i think it just depends on raid comp and what the other plate dps are running for example in my 25 man i have 2 frost dks one using a 2h, the other duel wield, a ret pally and warrior who plays third tank so about equal compitition whichever way i decide to go.
Not really true, the difference between SMF and TG overall DPS this tier is fairly par, all things considered (such as the multitude of AoE fights). But there are other factors to consider. 1.) What best suits the raid and 2.) What you can get. SMF Heroic weps are a bit easier to get than TG.
