Since he was my first character, I completely and utterly messed up his talents, so I'm already planning to respec...but to be honest I don't really enjoy playing Warriors THAT much, so I'll probably be grinding with him to get items for my lower level characters. That being said, it would be a crying shame to give up a Level 32 character (especially my first one ^_^) so I am looking at a possible way to save him :
Goals :
1. Kill green mobs super efficiently
2. Low emphasis on PvP
3. Maximize damage (I'll be cooking and first aiding to minimize downtime)
4. Be able to solo well (since grinding is basically soloing...)
I have about 10 gold stored up, so I'll be able to purchase some gear for the respec, plus I have guild members to help me out on that end. But besides that I have no idea what to do - go Fury or Arms? Dual or two-hand? Advice of any sort will be appreciated. ^_^

Interesting. I have a 30 Warrior, first char, mostly defensive spec, except the extra crit, and I have no real problem whacking greens. She does pretty much only green quests solo, groups for anything yellow, and has a great time. 1-hander/shield is what she's using, and while she's no DPS machine, she can handle 2 greens at a time pretty much whenever you want. Interesting that you say you're having trouble soloing.
She does have 10% crit, and with her blue hammer, crits are up in the 250-300 range, and execute will often hit over 300, so that's how she kills, she pounds them into mush till she gets a crit, then execute below 20%. 2 at a time, cleave kicks in some, and she's just flat tough enough to kill one while the other beats on her. She's always got bandages on her, for after the fight, and a few heal pots for emergencies, but rarely used, usually used when a 3rd mob shows up.
I see where I could have built her better, but my leather/skin craft keeps her in enough money to keep her going well, and fix most of her problems. I just respecced her, but I mainly changed her from 'scattered talent points' to even more defensive than she was. I'm leveling a druid atm, so I pull her out for instances with friends, and other assorted help missions. I'll be back to her in a week or two.
Caveat: I wouldn't say she's a FAST killer, but steady as she goes, she just pounds them into mush as they come, 1 or 2 at a time. Keshi's at her best tanking for a rogue or a mage. I tell the mage or rogue "I'll hold them, you kill them". She's never had trouble finding another for a duo. :P But, as I said before, she solos fine, too.
And, the last piece of advice is: go level another class and let your warrior rest. He may be fresh and fun again when you come back.
