Hello all!
Here I am with my first warrior and the ensuing first warrior questions. I'm at 59 right now and running with a common-sense-"this talent looks awesome"-pieced-together Arms spec, wielding the mighty
Bloodied Arcanite Reaper
with great success.
Basically all I do is Charge a mob, Rend it, the Slam once or twice until Overpower comes up and finish it off with an Execute. Great fun, super fast to kill things. Now with 60 looming ahead, I was wondering if it was viable at all to have a look at the Fury tree and pick up that ever-enticing
Titan's Grip
. Way before I made my own warrior I heard a lot of bad rep about the Hit penalty, but seeing as this was removed I thought it might be worthwhile.
I'm aware that dual wielding carries the default "Miss" stigma, but I'm lugging around a few +Hit items that keep me at ~6% Hit that I won't soon replace. What's your take on it? Should I just stick to Arms and save my dream of looking absolutely imposing until 80, or is it worth taking a peek at it this early on?
Thanks in advance for your masterly advice.

1) No hit penalty on Titan's Grip unless you are refering to the increased chance to miss with white hits.
2) Stick to arms. Its has alot of talents that could help you out during leveling. Imo, you could try and go to Titan's Grip at 80, though if your planning on doing serious PvE content later on, don't do fury tree until you hit roughly Ulduar gear.
If your just a casual player though and don't care that much, do what seems more fun. As casual, Fun stuff > Ripping your hair out trying to level up

Alright, after playing around a bit, I felt more efficient with Arms in the long run. It's a shame because dual-wielding two-handed weapons is impressive, but it leaves you extremely vulnerable since all your important abilities like Whirlwind rely on Berserker stance, and the healing through Bloodthirst doesn't seem enough to keep up with the damage taken.
Oh well. I'll try again at 80.
E: Just got Bladestorm. Screw Titan's Grip, this thing is amazing.

I found leveling with TG went alot smoother. There was an occasional fight that I'd have a short wiff streak but using Bloodthirst glyph downtime was a thing of the past. Arms I'd end up bandaging alot more, even eating on occasion.
This remains true now at 80, without any method of self healing arms slows me up. Fury I go mob to mob, never falling below 90%. TG's a bit too gear dependent for me though currently, Arms is clearly better for dps'n.
