Are my weps holding me back? (fury question)

So, I have been gearing up my warrior, my dps steadily rose from 3k ro 4.5 in 25 mans but even with newer upgrades, not getting above 4.5k tops. I think my weapons are holding me back but I would like to know if my gems are wrong or any armor pieces look like bad stats.
Here is my armory
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Sentinels&cn=Ruthlessness
I might look to still be in my prot gear, if i am I will post again.
I do the standard rotation BT, WW, Heroic strike (over 50 rage) and slam whenever blood surge procs.
I think I am ready to do icc, because the weapons in there would help me greatly and the gear. I do PoS for the be-header everyday and if I do see it, i lose to a DK in PvP gear.
What do you think? I am ready for ICC and are my weps holding my dps back?

While the ICC-10 weapons would be huge upgrades, so would ToC-10 weapons or the beheader. If you have a guild or friends who will take you to ICC-10, then by all means go. You will likely have some trouble finding a pug that will take you with those weapons and enchants, though. The scorpion trinket from H FoS would be a nice upgrade for you as well.
No enchants on your cloak, chest or bracers. Get Berserking on both weapons. Use all epic-quality gems. Consider changing to the Agility meta, and then only use a single Nightmare Tear instead of two blue gems.

Get the mace in mainhand, your human.

It looks like you are also under on hit rating and exp as well. Agree with getting a mace since your Human. Ultimately you are probably not ready for ICC unless guild/friends carry you. I personally will no go to a raid if I have to be carried.

So, I am under hit? I have 5.15%, i thought all you needed was 5%? and I am only under exp on my off hand, I have everything i can get outside of ToC/Ony, other then finding a hilt or getting the be-header, I am screwed on weapons. I didn't put berzerker on the weps because they are 219, if i got a 232 like the ToC sword or sword from Ony i would put berzerking.
The thinket I just put on to drop exp gems/rings for more str/arm pen. I think it was a n overall dps raise but I am unsure. I have 24 exp with the axe but 27 with the mace. I am having a hard time finding gear with exp on it.
I will take your word and not try for icc 10, but I really find a hard time getting pugs who know how to do ony or ToC 10, its pathetic. I guess I will have to tank them and get !@#$ed on dps gear.
Thanks all.

Arh the other replies are really not helpfull, here we go.
Yes, your weapons are holding your back! Here's your do-do list:
Get 2 of these
swords
quick.
Get rid of Victor's Call and get NeS from Heroic Forge of Souls and Herkuml Wartoken, as your new trinkets.
Get the meta: 21 agility and 3% increased crit, then you only need a Nightmare Tear to activate it.
New feet from Heroic FoS I think?
Enchant bracer and chest (+50 AP and +10 stats)
New enchant on gloves, +44AP
Get back from Normal Halls of Reflection.
Redo gems to +20ArP.
Change Talents to this:
http://www.wowhead.com/talent#LG0G0fhZhxf0E0u0eRVzAo:oGMz0c
Now you should have like 50% ArP, expertise cap (because of weapons).
Can skip the Herkuml Wartoken and keep the ArP trinket - your call.
There are more changes, but this will up your damage but alot.

Why on earth would you recommend Herkumi War Token?
Banner of Victory and NES are a fine combo.
He's got much more important things to spend frosties on.
As far as spec goes I'd recommend:
http://www.wowhead.com/talent#LhrczfhZhxe0V0u0eRVkAo:oGMz0o
Glyph of Mocking Blow for Fury? C'mon....
2x Mourning Malice would put him WAY over Exp cap. Tyrannical Beheader and one of the swords from 10/25 Ony will do just fine.
I said he could skip the Herkuml Wartoken. It's my recommendation to have it.
Yeah sorry, ment minor glyph for victory rush, not mocking blow, my bad.
Yes that weap combo is better, however he can't get it real quick, One of them never drops when you need it, the other is a twice a week thing.

These are my recommendations. Remove a sword and you're just under expertise cap, your choice (ofc. you could just gem for it)
Trinket; Banner of Victory or Herkuml Wartoken, up to you.
Edit Edit
I'm sorry, didnt even comment on your rotation. You dont use Slam on every single Bloodsurge proc. You use it when it doesnt mess with WW-BT rotation. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is it:
WW-BT-Slam-BT-WW-BT-Slam-BT-WW-BT-SLAM-BT etc.
If slam is not available these are my prios for the free GCD:
1. Victory Rush
2. Heroic Throw
3. Sunder Armor (if not stacked to max) / Demo. Shout (if not up) / Refresh Battle or Commanding
4. Anything basically, if everything else is not ready or is up already, just find out what you like to do with that GCD.

OK. I will try to grab one of the swords and I have been going the 3 new heroics everyday and it seems NOTHING I need drops.
Right now i have 86 frost emblems, I am saving for the helmet so I can change my meta and still have my 4 piece T9.
I do lack enchants and I will get them ASAP, I have a main as a enchanter haha.
I have one last question on rotation. Since I only do slam after BT/WW and Heroic strike over 50 rage, what happens when execute becomes available? It seems like it hits for less then my heroic strike ( i do it when BT/WW are on CD) but I am not sure. Plus execute doesn't proc blood surge.
Edit.
I forgot to ask, what would be my next biggest upgrade? I am currently going for the helm to put in the new meta and a nightmare tear. Not much of my gear has changed since i can't get weps to drop or even armor just enchants.
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Sentinels&cn=Ruthlessness
Yes I am under exp cap, but i have food that gives me 40 exp, should put me near or over for raids.
Edit edit
I got mourning malice and tyrannical be-header! I have changed 3 gems to 20 arm pen. Now I need NES. Still going for the T10 helm. 90 frost badges.

I would say NES should be your primary focus. Just get rid of your current exp trinket.
TBh, if I was you, I would focus on farming gold most of the day to buy all new gems and fully enchant myself. That should be your next "big" upgrade.

I can see your just used Triumph on the tanking range weapon. You should use your triumph on the agility finger tbh.

Ok. I never even looked at that to be an upgrade. I tank as off spec xD. It gets me into randoms and raids sometimes. I was going for the lady's promise from HoR. But I will get the agil ring, thanks.
And ok will change my gems over to arm pen. What other enchants do I need? I know i need to enchant my boots still but I actually need that hit till i get the cloak from reg HoR with 35 hit. I got berserk on my main hand, malice wasn't worth it IMO. My chest still needs stats, i know. Still need the mats.

Well you just said it yourself. That's what you need.
Edit:
A little tip of mine. Gems are expensive to buy in bulks. Usually on wednesdays I can farm 75K honor (cap) because of wintergrasp weeklys and stuff, so that's 7 easy gems pr. week.
