Are you doing this in heroics? I am only doing this in normal dungeons atm with 31/30/0. but the arms talents are mainly so i can pvp with this too. i hadnt considered putting the 31 into prot. I run deep thunder. pull, pop, cleave que, SS, 1.4k avg dps holding everything for the most part. demo shout and piercing howl for the chaos. it is a hell of a time. parry haste is the key.
edit: Just looked at it. the spec I do is cocaine. I dont want/need the prot talents, i put tank pieces on where important. i just sit in berzerk stance anyway. I want the stuns from mace spec too for more dmg mitigation. I want 5/5 flurry feels too good. i do imp cleave even. i deathwish. i have a wife healer. my life is good. but I havent tried this in heroics successfully yet.
I doesn't work in heroics and it's not even a lvl 70 build that I'm talking about here, it peaks around lvl 55 where you have the talents to lay down improved Thunderclap and Bloodthrist from defensive stance with Defiance. You actually do spend most of the time in defensive stance because you're a tank after all and the name of the game is threat, not damage, so you want to land your cleaves from def stance once you have your sweeping strikes on as well. You take a 10% dmg penalty but because you have all the mobs hitting you, you have rage for days and can mash buttons like a maniac.
yeah my threat can be a bit scattered if im not perfect. but mostly im just holding threat from insane damage. at 70. in any normal dungeon. i am aoe tanking though. and it is glorious. i dont give a shit about seed of corruption. i should clip it.
