You CAN play a warrior any way you want. I've heard that 30 Fury/21 Arms (Sweeping Strike/Flurry) makes for a good duel wield warrior. It's not the absolute best solo/duel warrior build, which is the infamous 31 Arms/20 Fury clone (it's a clone for a good reason), but it's apparrently an effective varient.
I wouldn't *really* know, as I stubbornly am leveling as a defensively minded Sword/Shield warrior (not recommended unless you're in PvE and have a permanent group, sadly. I love this build, it's a small deity in instances, but you'll be largely worthless in PvP and you solo somewhat slowly. I say somewhat, because while each kill takes a bit of time, you can kill an even or 1+ monster solo.
If you plan to play grouped in high end instances, however, neither of these options is the 'best'. For that, you want to use a defensively oriented spec and a 1handed weapon with a shield. Only in those situations is this setup ideal, but in those situations, people want a warrior as a main tank, not as some sort of wannabe rogue melee damage dealer.

Men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children, is increased with tales, so is the other.
