new warrior, played rogue a whileFollow

Hi. I have been playing a rogue for a while (not THAT long, but long enough). I am rolling warrior, and I have two questions. I have read a bunch of questions, and I *think* I know the answers, but I would love to hear confirmation.

1. I can stick with my leveling fury or arms build, and still tank lowbie instances? It seems like I would either DW fury, and to tank I would swap my OH weap for a shield (or go arms, change the 2h for sword + board). Is this so? If I spec DW fury, will I have rage generation trouble while tanking with a shield?

2. Once end-game, for pvp, MS/fury of course. For combat rogues, maces are the best weapon as the stuns help out a lot. RPZip's MS builds show either sword spec or polearm spec. Are mace stuns not the best way to go?

1. Not too sure, you could probably tank up to the lvl 30 instances, before you'd need thouse points in prot.

2. Maces used to be good, but a few patches ago the stun got nerfed, and to counter that nerf, they made the proc give 7 rage instead of 6.
So, in essence, you would have less survivability (due to the fact that the Enemy aren't getting stunned as much), but when they do, you get 1 MORE RAGE! to help you with all the attacks you can do during that stun period.

Ruin you have way too many toons above level 10.

1. Yes. You can tank as fury or arms with the sword and board. Just make sure to place a few points into tactical mastery to help with the threat generation while using MS and BT.

2. The mace stun is still good for 2v2; 3v3 and 5v5 I think it's changed to sword spec, but I'm not too sure as I do neither of the latter.

1. Just chuck on a shield and you'll be fine, No points in prot until heroics/kara. With the recent nerf to the 20-60 instances I doubt you'd even need a shield for the first half of them. Rage gen didn't seem much of an issue to me, but with the nerf the mobs may not hit as hard. If rage starved you could try swapping to your soloing weapon/s for a bit to grab some rage then swap back, that or I'm told taking of your pants helps... (verification on this? saw it a long time ago lol)

2. I dont PvP so much but from what I understand maces are still better, followed by swords. Stay away from poleaxe spec because crits are effected too much by resiliance.
