Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood: Fury or Arms?

[Tourn]

I have been a long time lurker in the Nurfed forums but have yet to contribute to the discussions here. This is my first attempt at an open dialog but I did search through the forums without a definitive answer.

Disclaimer: I am a terrible tank. I certainly am not my guilds MT, OT or the 3rd option for that matter. I duration tank on Domo, Garr or Sulf but for the rest of the time I am DPS.

I PvP as much as I PvE as well. I am only a knight-LT but next tues. I should be a Knight-CPT.

The long story short is that last week my guild took down Nef for the first time and I had enough DKP to win Ashkandi. I have been a fury warrior for about six months and that is where my experience lies. I used to use Eskhandar's claws so I spec'd accordingly.

Any suggestions on which tree I should use or for that matter what spec would put my new sword to better use?

I have available to me:

7/8 might (minus helm)
Lionheart Helm, Crown of Destruction
Unmelting Ice Girdle, AB crit belt
AV exalted items
Eskhandar's Neck
Starting Next week I will also have Knight-CPT (rank 8) PvP gear.

I think my low point is gloves so I had to put a weapons chain on Ashkandi.

Feedback is appreciated.

MS is way better than going fury spec with a 2h-hander. Ashkandi also outweights eskhandar dual-wield.

What a Question o_o
Arms is the way to go for 2h, ms = 50% more dmg (50% less heal), ms is one more instant attack (~2k with Ashkandi), so why you should go fury.

[Tourn]

Flurry would increase white damage DPS and Bloodthirst getting boosted to 45% of your total AP will net me around 500 non-crit.

I have had my share of 2K MS crits but overall I am not impressed with the agony that is waiting 3.8 seconds for my next available MS. Rage is not an issue. In PvE soloing I usually come out with a ton of rage left over.

Again it might be complete ignorance on my part being fury for so long I am just looking for alternate views and possible spec ideas.

waiting 3.8 seconds for ms? ms has 6 seconds cd and is instant, are you using heroic strikes?

[Tourn]

LOL dont ask me why that number was stuck in my head. I used HS all the time as fury. I have yet to use it with arms.

It feels like learning the class all over again.

Uhh, respec to 31/20 Arms/Fury now please.

[keboman]

One of those specs has the best debuff in the game. Use that one.
