I guess it would be smarter to use talents on arms/fury and save protection til I`m higher level. Btw, how do you gain the ability to use other weapons? I`m a tauren and just entered the thunderbluff area. I can only use axe, mace, 2handed mace and barehands. I`m keeping all of those weapon skills capped but I`m gonna be behind on sword, 2handed sword, etc.
