I'm currently putting together honor in order to get one of the merciless two handed weapons, either the mace or the sword. I'm mostly looking for a weapon to use for arms whenever I decide to spec it, whether its for raiding or pvp. I don't pvp a whole lot, but I enjoy killing people in BGs from time to time. So pretty much I'm trying to determine which would be better overall just for general use. The mace stun effect is incredibly useful, but the appeal of having a sword spec proc crit with an MS is really nice to think about. Anyway, any suggestions/advice would be great and thanks in advance.

The Stun ability of the Mace spec is all over the PvP world, but in my travels stuns aren't as useful in PvE. I am asked not to charge or intercept a mob when it is being Tanked (by a warrior or druid) as they need the attacks on them to continue for rage to generate. I am sure it would be the same for the stun proc. of a mace.
So if you want to raid with a 2-hander the choice comes down to Axe vs. Sword, PvPing it comes down to Mace vs. Sword. To straddle both worlds I think the choice is obvious. Good luck

I played Season 1-2-3 with a Mace but after Blizzard nerfed it by putting a 6 sec CD on the proc I switched to Swords for Season 4.
The extra proc is really nice for some burst damage (all about luck though) but I think it beats the Mace atm. Also most classes have stun resistance in pvp so that reduces the chance of the stun by a whole lot when combined with the 6 sec cooldown.
