Note: Blah. I had a long response written up but then I deleted it accidentally and can't seem to get it back. Here's the short version.
Going into TBC, I was really excited about a Fury/Prot hybrid because you could get Bloodthirst as well as One-Handed Weapon Spec for an additional 10% damage. I'm not sure if things have changed, but back then a flat 10% damage increase was as good or better than anything in the bottom of the Fury tree. Thus, I would suggest looking carefully at a 0/31/30 build before getting set on a 0/41/20 build as you linked.
Regarding your build, I think you picked good talents, though I would drop a point from either Commanding Presence or Dual Wield Spec to pick up Piercing Howl.
Weapon speeds don't really make a big difference. Faster weapons give you more rage. Slower off-hands mean your harder hitting main hand gets more Flurry. Slower main hands get more damage via Whirlwind and Cleave. I think you have a good idea going, so no worries there.
When playing, I would generally spam Bloodthirst and Whirlwind. If you have more rage, dump it via Heroic Strike. You could also use Hamstring, but with the Windfury totem nerf that isn't as great as it used to be. Otherwise, use Berserker Rage if you're taking damage to get more rage or when feared to break the fear. Playing a Fury warrior isn't too tough. :)
