My warrior is prot specced and sitting right on level 70 atm.
Ive been looking at 2 builds:
Spec 1, that takes deep wounds (standard prot build, from what I understand)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#LVMh0fZhZVGtrx0zidIzsGo
and
Spec 2, that takes Improved Cleave (combined with glyph of cleave)
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#LVZhgcZVGtrx0zidIzsGo
I guess my question is, for just running 5 mans and leveling, and then doing heroics, it seems that cleave hitting at 120% dmg every time is going to be better than deepwounds/impale for damage output.
Anyone know the answer? And thanks for the help.

Cleave spec. is not as good as it sounds: It only increases the
bonus
damage of cleave, meaning the total increase of cleave damage is much smaller than you'd think, and does not scale with weapon damage or AP.
So, my advice would be to never spec deep into fury for cleave spec alone. It simply isn't worth it. Now, if you are going into fury for imp. demo. shout and/or commanding presence anyway, then you might as well pick up imp. cleave as well, but otherwise stay out of it and get deep wounds instead. Remember, you can still glyph cleave with a deep wounds spec, and that will give you plenty of cleave oomph.

Oh, and by the way: In the arms tree, you should pick imp. heroic strike instead of iron will.
