Y'all know what I'm talking about. 35/5/21 for arenas...anyone have any comparisons between that and the arms/fury build?
Particularly wanting reccomendations between the 2 for doing 2vs2 with a holy pally (41/20/0 PvP build) or 3vs3 with same pally and a frost mage.

I know how to do the specs, I'm just wondering which has been found to be more effective.

I've tested it before. It's only moderate in 2v2; you get hit often enough there that you get real use out of Enrage, so you're losing a lot of damage. In 3v3 you tend to not get hit (as much, anyway) so it's probably considerably more worth it, and Last Stand is likely more useful since you can survive nearly any bit of burst damage in 2v2 via Defensive/Spell Reflect but can't in 3v3.

So your reccomendation would be 33/25/3 for 2v2 and 35/5/21 for 3v3?

one thing that blows about the conc blow build in 2v2 is that conc blow is on the same DR timer as intercept and charge. that means theres a good chance either your intercept or your conc blow will be diminished in some way when you use it. conc blow also shares the same DR timer as HoJ and druid bash, skills possessed by the two most popular war teammates in 2v2.

With that in mind quor I'll probably just go with the fury sub for good, since I will have a paladin in both groups.

With that in mind, looking at the arms side of things, tiers 2 and 7 confuse me on what to get. I know for the 33/25/3 build you want to spend 5 points on tier 2 and 3 points on tier 7 (one point being MS). However:
You can go 2/2-IC 3/3-ITC, 2/2-IC 3/5-IW, 2/5-IW 3/3-ITC, or 5/5 IW.
On tier 7 your choices are between 2/2 BF or 2/2 SW.

I'm guessing I would either want 5/5 IW+2/2 BF, or 2/2 IC+3/3 ITC+2/2 SW, since SW benefits from being stunned. Not that I would want to be stunned, I just wouldn't worry about putting talent points into resisting it if I already had SW.

I'm leaning toward the second-wind route, but I guess I need some advice.

second wind without a doubt.

as for tier 2, i personally went 3/3 imp clap with 2/5 iron will. bit less stun resist than i could have, but 3/3 clap gives you a lot of anti-war and anti-rogue debuffing power. 20% longer attack timer for a 2h war hurts, and every little bit helps when trying to keep rogues from killing your clothies in pvp.
