Warrior Talent builds
When designing your warrior with talents, consider what type of warrior you want to be since you will have to max out to at least 31 points in the style you chose. Warrior talents are not meant to be dabbled in, meaning a Tri-build does not work for warriors. One tree should always have at least 31 points in it.
Now the 3 categories are surprising names Arms, Fury and Protection. Here is an overview of each style.
Arms - This Talent build is focused around Mortal Strike, the 31 point talent. Hence the reason this build is also referred to as the MS Build. Large 2-handers are the name of the game with this build. Front loading damage and powerful crits are perfect, when going the damage route. Going much higher than 31 points is usually not desirable. Points put into the other 2 trees are very effective.
Example of a 31 Arms, 20 Fury Build with Axe spec. This is a very powerful offensive build.

Fury builds can be separated in to two designs. This spec is very gear intensive. Arms is a lot more forgiving on gear. Dual wielding Fury, or 2-handed Fury. Dual wielding fury is a great sustained dps build that isn’t very high on burst damage. 2-handed Fury only starts to shine when your base Attack Power is above 800, which causes the damage from Bloodthirst to be significant.
Example of 34 Fury, 17 Arms Spec
Arms Talents - 17 point(s)
Deflection 2/5
Improved Rend 3/3
Improved Charge 2/2
Tactical Mastery 5/5

Improved Battle Shout 4/5

Enrage 5/5
Death Wish 1/1
Improved Intercept 2/2
Flurry 5/5
Bloodthirst 1/1
Protection builds are considered right now the worse of the 3 talent builds. Why? Well Protection is mainly considered a PvE build. This build is meant to help mitigate damage in higher level instances. The problem, though, is that the damage potential is a LOT less than Arms and Fury, but the damage mitigation is only really somewhat better. The talents above 15 are also considered lackluster. This is the reason that a lot of warriors are going with the Arms 31, Fury 5, Protection 15 Spec.
Here is one design of Protection 33, Arms 13 and Fury 5
Arms Talents - 13 point(s)
Deflection 5/5
Improved Charge 2/2
Tactical Mastery 5/5
Anger Management 1/1
Fury Talents - 5 point(s)
Cruelty 5/5
Protection Talents - 33 point(s)

Improved Revenge 3/3
Defiance 5/5
Improved Taunt 2/2
Improved Shield Bash 2/2
Concussion Blow 1/1
One-Handed Weapon Specialization 5/5
