Well I run the typical 17/44/0 build as well and unless you have 5/5 merc glad gear + the lawlherald, it does way more dmg than using the 2h.
I haven't been able to look at the armory page yet because it's down for maintenance, so I'm not sure what kind of gear you have. Hit rating is nice to have as well. Normally I run with the rogues too, with an Enhancement Shaman in the group. For VR I have an Enh and Resto shaman in the group, for group heals. Its much easier that way cuz the Resto Shaman can just focus on healing my group with the benefit of the enh. shaman totems as well.
Normally I have around 3k AP during fights with the Enh Shaman (who's my rl friend, so he's always there when we raid). My crit % is around 32% from paly buffs and Druid Buffs and stuff. With that said, I'm usually in the top 10 in dmg, but more towards the top 5. I just annihilate the Trash mobs though.
The only thing that sucks about warrior dps on the clear to VR is the CC'd mobs, you can't use WW =(
SSC is different, the trash is way easier to hit, and the first pull isn't CC'able so you can WW all you want, granted you have the tanks to hold aggro. Just make sure you have pretty decent AP to make those hits nice and big. Crit is nice for the flurry part inbetween your BT and WW.
We just went strait to The Lurker Below, and lemme tell ya, its tough hitting that guy, I just can't hit very much on that guy and I have 191 hit. I dunno...but I still get the job done. I just can't wait til we down that hoe.
All in all, I'd definitely stay d/w, unless you really want to try the 2h dps thing. GL
*EDIT* BTW, you don't need 5/5 Imp Demo Shout. 2/5 is good enough. Spend those other 3 points elsewhere to help out the DPS.
