I've been having similiar kinds of thoughts on my warrior lately. She has grown up as a protection warrior, but lately has been dual wielding while soloing and enjoying it. So it starts making me debate switching to fury. We also have two protection warriors in the guild on Terenas (durambar and jandrey) and conc who I believe is 2 handed speced, but will be able to tank better than my char anyway because of better gear. So it seems to me that in most situations I really don't need to be protection speced. Fury is really tempting me to the dark side.
My character is 57 and hasn't gone into BRD or any instances past that yet. This basically means that my gear is crap right now, but that its important to know where I'm heading with my build so that I know what gear I want. My big problem that its ha to give up some of the protection talents. Improved Sunder, Concussion Blow, and One-handed Weapon Spec are all talents that I feel like I might miss. They involve such a huge investment into protection though that its either keep them and stay protection or give them up and go fury.
So I find myself debating fury builds. I hear some people say that Heroic Strikegood because it replaces your normal attack and so changes the miss rate to the 5% for specials instead of whatever it is for your main hand when dual wielding. This makes me consider putting talents into that and using it as a main attack. It also seems like the 3 points to reduce its cost could be better spent somewhere else though so I don't know about that.
Some people also say that Bloodthirst isn't very good (I'm not sure why). So that makes me debate going as far as Flurry, but not to Bloodthirst. At that point though its only 2 points to get Bloodthirst so it almost feels like I should just because I can.
It does make some sense to me that its a choice of one or the other though. With Bloodthirst costing 30 rage, it seems unlikely that you will have the rage for it if you are using Heroic Strike every time you can.
So I really don't know what to do is basically my point. I don't know what style is really the better style. Is it better to save up rage and burn it on the more expensive skills or is to better to spam the other ones? I don't know what to think anymore.
A build like this is interesting because its basically all white damage except for non-talented skills and Bloodthirst. One could also take the points out of Bloodthirst and Deathwish to improve Heroic Strike a little bit and so focus on that attack. *shrug* I just don't know anymore which is why I haven't bothered to respec out of protection. I've just not been able to wrap my head around things.
Oh and of course with the spamming heroic strike you are gaining less rage because your main hand weapon is basically always doing non-rage gaining yellow damage. *shrug* I think I'll stop babbling now cause I'm just confused. : )
