The talent build I've been working toward is primarily defensively focused, with some branching out into fury and arms for better rage management, cc, and some more versatility for PvP and soloing. It looks something like this:
Fury: 11
Cruelty 5
Improved Demoralizing Shout 5
Piercing Howl 1
Protection: 29
Shield Specialization or Anticipation 5
Toughness 5
Iron Will 5
Improved Revenge 3
Defiance 5
Improved Sunder Armor 3
Improved Shield Wall 2
Concussion Blow 1
Arms: 11
Deflection 5
Tactical Mastery 5
Anger Management 1
I may have to respec soon so I can try out some of the flashier skills, so far I've put all my points into the boring passive prerequisites. I'm leaning toward this build as I'm not terribly concerned with achieving tremendous DPS, but rather being as useful to a group as possible, while having some interesting skills to use against my enemies in pvp. I think it allows me to avoid having to put points into talents that aren't very good just so I can get a better talent later. For example, Improved Heroic Strike. Even with -20% rage cost it's till not very much bang for your rage dollar, especially considering what it does to your rage generation. My only real regret here is the lack of sweeping strikes, as I've heard very interesting things about it and it's synergies with cleave and retaliation.
