Hey, thanks for the app. I checked out your armory profile, and everything seems to be in order. I just had a few minor points/questions to make/ask.
In your arms spec, what are your thoughts on going 2/2 Blitz versus going 1/1 Sweeping Strikes and 1/2 Blitz? It's a solid DPS increase, given many fights this tier have multiple targets. Just wanted your thoughts on it.
In your Prot spec, there are a few changes I'd recommend. Due to the War Academy change, it's a pretty sizable threat boost. Also, Blood and Thunder is a great talent for both 5mans and raid content, so you'll definitely want to pick that up. This is partially my opinion, so take it with a large grain of salt because my opinion is correct, but Blitz and Gag Order aren't phenomenal talents. I'd take your points out of those and fill out War Academy and Blood ant Thunder, taking 1 point out of deep wounds to fill out the remaining point. Again, my opinion (which is correct).
Also, We already have a player in the guild with Vapor in their name. How would you handle the confusion of us referring to both of you as Vapor in vent?
Again, thanks for the app. Look forward to hearing back from you.

He's not applying as prot, silly.
Vapor, make an alt on suramar and talk with me a bit. If I'm not online, an officer can get ahold of me.
thanks,

Hello everyone,
I chose 2/2 in blitz for the 10 rage, rage = damage dealt, in just about every fight that I've seen, you're moving away from the boss multiple times a fight, more often than not I find, there's one target, and if there's multiple, they're not always standing beside each other. I find the extra rage out weights any use of sweeping strikes in terms of damger per second.
As far as my offspec goes, I find being able to silence a caster, and have them walk over to me with the others in the group with heroic throw is very helpful. Kinda like Avengers Shield on a Paladin cept it only hits one target.
Speaking of the pally, the name is Zocom, same guild and server as the warrior. All the characters in the guild belong to me.
I'm going to head off to sleep here in a second, but I'll come looking for you tomorrow Fright.

Thanks for the reply, Vapor.
I do have to point something out about sweeping strikes, though. Keeping 2/2 points in Blitz is a 5 rage per 15 seconds increase over only 1/2 points, and that is assuming that you use charge on cooldown. You do have a point about fights requiring movement, but even I rarely find myself using heroic fury to reset my intercept cooldown. There are in all truth extremely few situations where you would be using charge that quickly.
But regardless, assuming you do use charge on cooldown, what you essentially gain is an extra heroic strike every 1 minute and 30 seconds. Now, if you instead invested that point in sweeping strikes, you'd be gaining a splash damage effect on your strikes for ten seconds every minute, not to mention that there is a glyph available to make sweeping strikes cost no rage.
Are you sure that you would still rather keep that extra point in blitz?
