Hi guys, need help with a PvE friendly Arms specc. Got Kara tommorrow and i have no clue what specc to use since i tank 90% of the times ;P
The need of Arms is because my only decent weapon is the 2h Merciless sword.
This
is what i wear at the moment, some trinkets and rings are still tank gear but I'm getting those changed.

Well, considering it's Karazhan there's a few alternatives to that spec. You could skip slam completely since it takes some getting used to, and I assume that you won't be dpsing in any progress fights. Replace it with what you like (playing should be fun, not a choire). There's also speccs and playstyles that doesn't include Slam to perform better on fights where you move alot. I'd suggest a visit to Elitistjerks.com if you're truly serious about dpsing as warrior, they have great threads with both knowledge compendiums and spreadsheets. Have fun :P

Slam is a key ability to MS Pve. A good rotation is something like:
White hit-Slam-MS-White hit-Slam-WW
If you don't use Slam you'll probably be outdps by a feral tank.
Since it Karazhan, he should focus on practicing when it's easy and when he'll need to think and something else than his rotation, he'll be ready.
Being a slammer means some dedication is required to master the rotation, it's a choire but it's a needed choire like leveling weapon mastery.

I wouldn't call it dedication, I'd call it babysitting. It's boring and it is a choire as you agreed. Which is why the reason for me being fury when I'm not required to go slam. And being outdpsed by a feral tank is overexaggerating. MS spec without Slam with a little skill would still end up over the shadow priests.
The main reason to why I wrote it was because he mentioned he normally tanks. If he's gonna continue with that I don't see in what ways babysitting the swing timer will improve his game. There's however no doubt that Slam is the top way of playing MS spec, but it's really not the only viable way unless the raid really needs the extra dps from both his slamming and the increased raid damage.
