Arms or Fury including justification why

[Strafir]

So like the title asks, What spec are you currently playing (US) or planning on
speccing (EU) when it comes to dealing damage? We all know that we are in a bad state
without Colossus smash, but I know some of you WILL FIND a way for us to compete, which
is why I would like to gather a thread where proper people share ideas to perhaps
trigger something that could work.

I cant stand the "new" fury mechanic, If I wanted to play a rogue, id play a rogue. This
is why im speccing arms, and going to work my ass off in todays raid to really test its
limits. Because UA was remapped to give you 60% more crit to OP, you can get the
needed 40% crit quite easally without having to sacrifice too much mastery.

Im gemming everything strength (+two blues to fulfill the meta req), dumping all my haste
to mastery, getting 8% hitcapped while having my expertise at 26. My theory why this will
work is simply Deep Wounds. Ill work out a way to secure a crit every 4s with eighter
Overpower or Heroic strike, while filling the gaps with Mortal strike.

I completely dump slam, resetting auto attck just isnt worth it. I had a thaught about
not speccing battle trance, but going 2/2 in blood & thunder to not have to refresh
rend with a non damaging ability, but to include thunderclap in my rotation, but
I think that still needs some theorycrafting. At some point TC was concidered a spell,
so you needed more than the melee yellow hitcap for it to be a 100% sure hit.

Whats you game plan? Fury or Arms, why? Fill me in and dont be shy to let it aaaaall
out, bad ideas just might trigger a good one.

I'll be staying fury. I've been fury since vanilla no reason for me to change now- my dps maybe a little off but It will probably be better than patch 3.3.5. I'm just happy I don't have to stack ArP. such a pain of a stat. Plus the new changes to haste make it a very nice stat for fury! Oh and dual wielding one-handers is something I'm greatly looking forward too aswell.

There is no possible way you can do more damage as fury now than in 3.3.5, and haste is still a terrible stat for warriors in general. Hit does everything haste was supposed to do, but better.

I will be going arms. I have the same outlook as you, if I wanted to play a rogue, I would play a rogue. I was a fan of arms all throughout WotLK but It just stopped being competitive. Now in 4.0.1 it seems to be on par with fury or even better in some cases. I think it will be much more viable and the damage output will be awesome once we get CS. And with CS being up a ton more than fury in cata I think it will help arms out a lot. Lets just hope they don't end up nerfing CS *knocks on wood*
