I'd go for Impale over the Improved Heroic Strike and other Arms areas. My previous Fury build:
Arms Talents - 18 Points
3/5 Deflection
3/3 Improved Rend
5/5 Tactical Mastery
2/2 Improved Overpower
3/3 Deep Wounds
2/2 Impale
Fury Talents - 33 Points
5/5 Cruelty
5/5 Unbridled Wrath
1/1 Piercing Howl
3/3 Blood Craze
1/5 Improved Battle Shout
5/5 Enrage
2/2 Improved Execute
1/1 Death Wish
2/2 Improved Intercept
5/5 Flurry
2/2 Improved Berserker Rage
1/1 Bloodthirst
While I dislike Deep Wounds (takes up a debuff slot, does fairly piddly damage considering the damage range on the weapons you'll be using, and can make Fear+Bandaiding difficult), I love Impale. Considering a lot of your damage will come from ragedumping via Heroic Strike and Bloodthirst, the extra 20% really helps. Dual Wield Specialization is generally a waste, given that your offhand will be very fast, resulting in low damage, and it also means five wasted talent points if you ever happen to get an excellent, fast two-handed weapon such as Blade of Hanna, Destiny, Runeblade of Baron Rivendare, Blackblade of Shahram, etc.
