Fury/Prot build for TBC

I think it comes down to what you want to do. I don't think you can necessarily equate Deflection to One-Hand Spec because they really are apples and oranges (damage versus damage mitigation). I imagine that your build would be slightly better for tanking than the 0/31/30 build, but getting One-Hand Spec would be much, MUCH more effective for damage dealing (on the order of between 7-8.5% more damage with it than with Precision and 3/5 Deflection). Personally, I'd go the 0/31/30 route since it gives you the more potent talent, overall. :)

Yeah, I think 1h Spec is the way to go. I hear mitigation is actually a hindrance of sorts when tanking since healing is powerful enough to deal with more incoming damage.
