In pvp (bgs, wg, world pvp, maybe some leisure arena) i spend quite a lot of time with shield and onehander, i am usually prot so thats what i am supposed to do when prot, but i often have to pretend i am prot even as arms specced.
As prot i use Titanguard, but when arms specced i have axe specc, not sword. Would a one handed axe be a better choice to use as arms when forced in "shield-mode", as i lose 5% crit, crit damage, and titanguard is fast so it has low top end damage.
I was wondering, axe from Hodir, the key from vh, Sen´Jin protector (those are what i have access too, as i wont roll on any eventual imba axe that might drop from crusader10 or u10 for some lame arms sidegrade:) ) are those a better choice than Titanguard for me when arms?

For pvp any slow wep will do. But i seriously doubt any of the axes you mentioned has better wep damage than titanguard. Neither the dps. So imo stick to Titanguard or get a PvP 1hander.
Imo sacrificing the amount of dps of the sword just to get 5% of crit on lower axe is not worth it at all.
On the contrary, it is worth it.
The biggest offensive hability you'll use shield-1h up is revenge ( an attack non affected by weapon damage range ), thanks to shield block-revenge spam combo. Sacrificing 5% crit for it to slightly ( very slightly ) boost other attacks like MS ( wich ,is this case, only used to keep the debuff up ) is not worth it.
On the other hand, If you have Blood draining on Titanguard and not enough gold to buy another one, I would keep titanguard
Blood draining > +5% crit on revenge spam.
