Defensive Stance
#47
My only real comment on this post is the part about soloing. Soloing is what Battle/Berserk shine at. I don't bother with defensive when soloing, except in particular situations, like maybe to use disarm on a mob that's hurting me more than I like.

No, soloing for my mace/shield Protection warrior is charge or pull, hamstring it if it'll run, rend it for an easy free DPS, and beat the living heck out of it. 2 mobs? no problem. Hamstring, tab, Hamstring, cleave, use whatever abilities are useful for the mobs you're fighting, cleave some more, rinse, repeat, grab a bandaid after they're dead if you need it. Three mobs? Maybe. Depends on how high-damage they are, I guess. Cleave is indicated here, of course. Intimidating Shout helps in soloing, unless you're in a space where you can't fear them.

I will note that while mostly protection spec, she does have cruelty. Extra 5% crit is bigger than you may realize. She won't touch my troll warrior (described below) in DPS, but she's not supposed to. Rend is actually useful in her case, as she's not putting out the huge damage the Arms/Fury two-hand warriors are.

I have a note on tanking, also. I also have an Arms/Fury 2-hand sword troll. She carries a shield/one-hander and can tank in defensive stance for a group perfectly well. She just requires more healing love than my tank-spec in any given situation. She's also known to flip weapons and use the two-hander to cleave if there aren't any adds, and the mobs are firmly locked on her.
