Take a peep at that talent distribution. Yes, my warrior is lvl 47 for now. Anyway, I wanted to go for a balanced talent distribution... anyone agree?

To be blunt, that is a terrible selection. You are trying to do everything at once and getting no bonus for it.

Talents are all about focus and effectiveness.

I would suggest:

As a base.

Notice you still get some core teir 1 talents, but then you get MS. This build is a very solid offensive one. If you want to be a PvE tank then focus in Deffensive. Just don't try to do it all at once, as it won't work. Generally, you want to work to higher teirs and be in a maximum of two trees.

I was pushing for balance in my spec, dude.

Level 47, You want Fury mate, all the way to mortal strike and sweeping strikes, spend the rest in arms, leave protection till you hit 60 and need to start tanking for larger raids.

Mortal Strike is an arms talent... and it's not like I can afford to respec AGAIN :P

Heh, making it obvious I haven’t played my warrior for a while, been on nothing but my hunter the last couple of weeks.
Though I do remember I use to find fury the most important talent tree in sub-fifty levels, its nice having all the rage you want, once you start going into BRD and above your really going to want toughness, defiance, shield spec and one handed weapon spec.

Fury is good for leveling. You'll need to be Prot for endgame instance tanking. Then at 60 you'll have (yes, have to) be Arms. It's a fact of life in WoW that in the endgame you have to play certain builds regardless.

As a suggestion for making your own lower teir "balance" build - at least finish talents. You had like 1 point in some 2-5 point talents. An element of focus is still needed in tri-talent builds.

Ok, I was toying with the talent calculator, and I think this spec works fine for PvP.

Who else agrees?

Their is no requirement to be protection spec to tank in an endgame instance. We've been over this countless times in my guild, every time we trial a new warrior and they go "do I have to spec into protection :(" and the answer is always NO, you just don't have to be a huge idiot.

You can effectively hold aggro with any other spec and as long as your healers do their job you won't need any of the other prot talents. Just go fury or arms spec. Warrior dual and trispecs are horrible, don't try for a balanced spec they are just plain awful.

Unless of course you want to be the laughing stock of the server :(
