I like your build ideas. That said, here's mine. It's a combination of what I find useful in my own experiences adn what this thread suggests as useful in endgame instances and raids:
Arms: 11 Points
5/5 Deflection
5/5 Tactical Mastery
1/1 Anger Management
Fury:
5/5 Cruelty
4/5 Unbridled Wrath
Protection
5/5 Shield Specialization
5/5 Toughness
5/5 Defiance
3/3 Imp. Revenge
2/2 Imp. Taunt
2/2 Imp. Shield Wall
2/2 Imp. Shield Bash
1/1 Concussive Blow
5/5 One Handed Mastery
1/1 Shield Slam
The Arms and Fury sections are fairly obvious - maximizing Rage. Tac Mastery, Anger Management, and Unbridled Wrath all help that. I chose AM over Piercing Howl, but that may change... or I might lose the top off Prot for the pair. It's all about the tradeoffs.
Protection... I have reasons for everything I took. Defiance and 1handed mastery should give me a huge overall boost in hate generation Dumping spare rage in Shield Slam should help with that, and that gives me a nice PvP skill. Imp. Taunt is all about when things go wrong, which happens. Conc Blow is my choice of Stun, and I also took Imp. Revenge because although it doesn work as well with rogues and diminishings Stuns and such, it's another stun and that's nice to have. I also reccommend checking out Imp. Shield Wall. As warriors, we all know how wonderful this skill is, and giving your healers another 5 seconds of 85% damage reduction never hurt anyone.
The only real points I debate, besides the big 'pick 2 of 3 rocking skills' debate, is the Imp. Revenge points. I'm considering swapping them to Imp. Disarm or Imp. Sunder Armor, the first of which would also have nice PvP utility and help a tiny bit against bosses, and the second of which would give me still more rage to work with.
Thoughts? I think a lot of the details in these builds is personal taste... and I'm curious to see what others think.
