Warrior
For as long as war has raged, heroes from every race have aimed to master the art of battle. Warriors combine strength, leadership, and a vast knowledge of arms and armor to wreak havoc in glorious combat. Some protect from the front lines with shields, locking down enemies while allies support the warrior from behind with spell and bow. Others forgo the shield and unleash their rage at the closest threat with a variety of deadly weapons.
The warrior’s battle cries embolden friends and leave foes cowering in fear. With legendary precision, warriors target the smallest gaps in armor and slice at hamstrings in a blur of steel.
Every dragon slain, corrupted tyrant toppled, and demon banished from Azeroth has trembled in the face of these lords of war.
Warriors equip themselves carefully for combat and engage their enemies head-on, letting attacks glance off their heavy armor. They use diverse combat tactics and a wide variety of weapon types to protect their more vulnerable allies. Warriors must carefully master their rage – the power behind their strongest attacks – in order to maximize their effectiveness in combat.

Warrior talents can improve their already considerable defenses with a shield, increase their deadliness with two-handed weapons, or bolster their savagery while dual-wielding.
Mighty warriors depend on their heavy armor, shields, and battle prowess to defend themselves and ensure enemies don’t focus on their softer-skinned allies.
Weapon mastery is a staple of warrior training, and they are capable of delivering high damage with enormous two-handed weapons or by wielding two weapons.
As warriors deal or take damage, their rage grows, allowing them to deliver truly crushing attacks in the heat of battle.
By changing their stance during battle, warriors can adjust their focus in combat, dealing greater damage, defending more carefully against enemy attacks, or striking a balance between the two.

At high level PvP: Arms>Fury in Arenas, BG's, or RBGs. Same with Wpvp. However, if you're just dueling, go with Fury. Fury has a better burst, but overall damage isn't nearly as good. However, it does have more survivability. Since you've got two weapons, instead of just one, you're doubling all of the additional stats. This includes Str, Stamina, Crit, etc...However, the offhand weapons DPS drops majorly, unless you're using Single Minded Fury. Not only that, but without the passive effects of Arms, you do less damage. Yes, even with a two hander duel wielding freak of nature.
