That build wont work very well for pvp. You give up every thing that makes prot viable. Not to mention it leaves you with very little to do against casters. Good luck getting a revenge off on them.
This is the build that I use

I didn't really understand what you meant by "PvP would not work really well..." but let me tell you, in WSG, a protection warrior, it's pure destruction XD lol. I mean really, full buffed, with the right items, you can easily crit 15k con cloth, I've seen on youtube videos criting for 21k, which is a record.
Go to youtube and search "Shield Slam crits".
On the other hand, in patch 3.2 protection pvp is going to get seriously nerfed, warrior wise. Block value is gonna be doubled, but your Block Value will have a limit, I think the formula was like... your level x 32 , something like that. Meaning, SS won't be giving those monstrous crits anymore. So I guess bye bye protection pvp :( .
PvE, I don't have a clue :P.
Good luck :D .
21k? That's pretty good, but its no record by far. Also in 3.2, shield slam is getting nerfed, but as it stands right now, the change to devastate more than makes up for the difference. I think prot may come out in a better place in this patch for pvp. Less burst, but the same stuns and silences, and higher steady dps.
