Quote:The way things look, I think it will pan out this way for arms:Your PvP mangler will not have Tactical Mastery, which a must for any PvPer. If anything, you could drop Flurry for TM. While on paper, Flurry looks like a lot of damage in PvP, in practice, a lot of PvP is spent on "jousting", and you have prolonged periods of time where you are not attacking any target. TM would be a much better choice then Flurry imo, and you will end up with 31/23/5 build, with 2 points being floaters.
PvP Mangler: 31 Points Arms to Mortal Strike, 30 Points in Fury to Flurry/Deathwish. This build will have mortal strike, deathwish, improved intercept, flurry, enrage, and weapon specialization, impale and deep wounds. It will be ridiculious.
Arms Raid DPS: 41 Points to Endless Rage, 5 to Cruelty, 5 Tactical Mastery, 5 Toughness, 5 Defiance. Can replace any amount of defiance with shield block stuff too, or last stand. This build can swap from DPS to off-tanking, and uses the blood frenzy debuff to provide a general increase in raid DPS.
As for Arms Raid build, it looks like the extension of the current 31/5/15 build - the only thing is that I can point out is that Defiance is only 3 points now - yeay (which it probably wasn't at the time of your post), so you have 2 points to play around with.
