You're partially correct there Moz, there are those who spec TG for the coolness (I saw a 70 warrior last night with 2x level 70 green claymores of the xxxx, and some pally plate) ... did look cool though -- 2 huge claymores criss-crossed on the back looks awesome.
But ... people who have the right gear for it (lots hit / str / crit ... in the right amounts) .. own .. and own hard (and no, I'm not talking PvP here - that's a waste of game time imo). I did all 10 daily quests as TG the other night in under 30 minutes, with zero downtime ... it was brutal, and I felt a little guilty pummeling those poor blood elves (for 1 or 2 seconds, then it passed ;>).
It's worth mentioning at this stage though, that the reduction to 5% miss and the increase of Bloodthirst damage 50% of AP will make a large difference to the efficiency of the build, it still doesn't change the fact that it's boring for sustained DPS fights ...
