1st I'll say until T6 you really won't top a Fury DW Warrior in the WWS charts. At the moment I'm more in the raid for the Utility aspect. Blood Frenzy talent is the open door to a raid. Currently, I'm the only Arms Warrior in my guild, I almost could not sit out if I wanted to lol. 4% more damage from any melee (including tanks oooo threat) is a huge help.
Sadly, with Titan's Grip, and the Fury mini Mortal Stike ability coming out in the upcomming patch.... our spec will be out the window for the most part :/
What I currently look for stat-wise:
Hit rating over 142, Crit% over 30% in Berserker stance, I get strength gems.
Hit rating under 142... I have to get a hit gem :/
Crit under 30% I load up on crit.
Gemming is literally a roller coaster ride. You get the stats you're looking for with crit/hit/and str, then get a new item with way less hit, but way more crit and you're looking at needed to regem or use a different +hit item to compensate for the loss/gain.
Oh and notice I said STR over AP? Attack power does not scale with Blessing of Kings. So 10Str or 20AP? 1 STR=2.2 AP: 10 Str x 2.2 AP = 22AP.
