Bringing the Warrior back to life

Been playing my warrior Balz lately, mostly just pvp'ing. Used to be protection spec'd, but changed it all around after getting the Headless Horseman's Helm. Respec'd to 31/30/0 to have some fun. Changed my BS profession over to axesmith, crafted both the epics, and off to the bg's I went. The way i set up my spec, I can use a big 2h weapon when pvp'ing, getting big hits on clothies, but when raiding, I can go DW and pump out some damage since i took flurry and unbridled wrath for rage generation. It's not the best damage but allows me to switch up my playstyle. Tanking 5mans kinda sucks since it's harder to build up my threat, but I have a couple decent tank pieces from kara.

I've been called out to off tank in Kara this past weekend since respec'ing, haven't taken the warrior there since getting my rogue attuned and makin him my main raid toon a few months ago. The real test was being the off tank for moroes, which was a pain in the ass. Generating rage sucked, and trying to be 2nd on the threat. I used my fury gear and dual weilded to try to get agro and rage, but as soon as he gouged the MT, he got on me and I wasn't fast enough to switch to sword and board, and hence, we had to reset Moroes by running out of the room. I dropped fast, so did the healers he went to after. The other few times we tried I couldn't get my threat up and he would go off to slaughter the cows in the pasture that were throwing fireballs at him. After resetting him about 4 times, I finally got the groove down and was able to be quick with my swapping. Dropped him and we were all happy it was finally done with.
