It's interesting how much exposure the 18/33 build has been getting lately. I sort of stumbled on it after playing around with a talent calculator and several respecs (DW MS build is not fun at all). I wouldn't say it's the new Fury cookie cutter, but it is interesting to see how many people are coming over to it.
I did some dabbling with a 2H Fury build for PvP purposes, and still have it even though I've gone back to mostly DW for two reasons really. (1) It still works, and (2) my next respec is 50g and I'm poor again after buying Battle Cat.

Not a whole lot to add since what's been said covers a lot of ground. Fast fast fast is the key to Fury, so choose your weapons accordingly. Right now I'm running with a pair of Bone Slicing Hatchets with +15 Str on them (still trying to get Bloodthirst to not suck), although if I ever get the materials together I might swap over to +15 Agi for the crit bonus (and to annoy hunters even further).
For my final tangent, I've learned over many painful months that the key to being a successful PvP Fury warrior is, oddly enough, to move like a rogue. With dual wielding, you NEED to maintain contact with your opponent if you want your speed to count for anything. MS warriors are used to jousting, moving in for the quick MS instant then backing out of range til their swing timer comes around again to build up more rage. Once you learn how to stick to an opponent, to move around and through them, your effectiveness goes way up.
