I had a morning of PvP with this spec:

1) Mace spec is freaking awesome. Stuns happen with decent frequency and I am more able to handle mages, warlocks and hunters than I was before. Hunters with 'the beast within' seem to be a bit problematic.
2) Second wind is okay, but rogues still stunlock. I didn't find any that I ended up in a fair 1 on 1 where they got to me first, most times I'd be stunned and get killed my much more than just a rogue. It did help some on shadow priests and mages.
3) a prot warrior downright owned me in this spec. I got him to about 35% or so, and it took a while, but I just couldn't break through. Fully blocked hamstrings were an issue, and with a different approach it might go better. I'm not sure how well geared he was, but he was weaing a T2 helm, didn't think to look at what the shield was.
4) Mages still get away a lot with novas and blinks, but I feel I stand a much better chance than before.
Overall I think I'm better able to PvP now than before the patch as a warrior, but keep in mind that my previous spec was not a dedicated PvP spec in that I didn't have enrage. I was 31 arms / 15 prot / 5 fury.
