i think axe spec is the best one, in my opinion 5% crit > 15% arp

Personally, I love sword spec. My main is a warrior, I'm out of WoW time and never got the opportunity to pick up a weapon other than Tyrannical Beheader. I got to 1600 in 2s, and I was going to grab the mace at first because I had low armor penetration. Now I really like sword spec by example. It has the highest burst of all of the weapon specs, simply because the bonus swing can proc off of everything.
I believe that axe spec is overplayed because the people with ADD want to see individual big numbers. Sword spec just has amazing burst, and is definitely game breaking. Mace spec is good if you have a nice weapon for it. If you have your choice, I'd go sword, if you don't, and you're picking something up from ICC or something, just wait and see what you get.

Correction, poleaxe is 5% bonus damage at all times, not just on critical strikes. Mace spec is good for attempting to hardcap or softcap while using more resilience. Axe spec is good for ADD, because you hit larger numbers. Sword spec is the most gamebreaking because the bonus swing can do the extra 2k damage to finish the target off, compare that to hitting a 2100 alone with an auto attack. Sword spec is ultimately superior, in my opinion, because it has the most burst of the 3 weapon specs. Axe spec is a close second for me. Mace provides a good amount of steady damage though.

I'd been playing sword spec in arena for quite a while with Quel'delar. It's a nice weapon spec and the extra burst you can get from a proc is cool if not always gamebreaking. It can be quite annoying if either you get rooted or your opponent runs behind you just as it procs because you still need to be facing and in range of your opponent for it to connect.
I switched to Axe last week after getting Ramaladni's blade and it's definitely superior. The extra pressure from the crit and crit damage feels a lot more significant, specially in 2's where you need thatbit extra to score kills on dps/healer teams. (also Axe animations are miles better than swords and make you feel like a boss as you chop stuff :P)

Just 1 thing: Sword spec does not only proc of autoattacks. it procs of all attacks and give you an extra attack of the attack you used. IE: you use mortal strike and it procs. you get an extra mortal strike.
But still. Axe > Sword.
