Dailies between raids spec

I'm usually tired, busy, or plain lazy between raids but I've finally decided to start respeccing between them to rack up some cash. The reason I'm making a thread about this is that I wanted to know which spec would kill mobs the fastest with the least downtime.
I know fury has Bloodthirst which restores health as opposed to arms having little else to restore health.
My problem right now is that I have blue weapons for fury (Reflex Blades, Phosphorescent Blade, Latro's Shifting Sword to choose from) but on the other hand I have epic weapons for arms (Despair, Gorehowl).
Would the weapon gap create a difference in killing speed or downtime to the point where it would affect my decision over this?

Which dailies are you planning on and do you really think you can get enough extra speed out of respeccing to cover the cost?
I find that I have no trouble with the Shattered Sun dailies as a prot warrior. Against melee targets I can pick up several at a time easily with no downtime and against casters I can spell reflect their high damage abilities and lock out the rest.
I'm sure I could go through the quests a bit faster as fury but since a fair amount of my time is already spent on travelling between quests, on bombing runs, looking for targets, picking up quest items, or using items to complete the quests rather than combat I don't see how I could make up the cost of two respecs with a slightly faster killing speed.

I've got all the dailies implemented available to me as far as I know. I mainly plan on continuing my Netherwing rep and maybe doing the easy Isle of Quel'Danas dailies as well as the easy Ogri'la quests. On the other hand I utterly despise the Skettis dailies so I believe I will skip them.

Right so how long do those take you now and how much of that time is actually spend in combat. Many of those daily quests are bombing runs, picking items off the ground, or hunting down your target. Just flying between the daily locations could consume a significant portion of your total time. I just think you'd need to be spending an awful lot of your time in combat before it would be efficient to respec twice. If you're going to spend 100g on respeccing it would probably be faster to skip 80g worth of quests and finish in the same amount of time.

The reason I'm making a thread about this is that I wanted to know which spec would kill mobs the fastest with the least downtime. Prot imo, I've went back to fury and even tried it in arms, take too much damage for a small up to dps. Devastate/Whirlwind spam works great for dps when threat isn't an issue.
I know fury has Bloodthirst which restores health as opposed to arms having little else to restore health.The healing on that is just about useless, I don't mean don't use it, it is great for damage, just not heals.
My problem right now is that I have blue weapons for fury (Reflex Blades, Phosphorescent Blade, Latro's Shifting Sword to choose from) but on the other hand I have epic weapons for arms (Despair, Gorehowl).Try both, you never know, I've used Despair though and the problem I found is I don't like waiting that 3.5 seconds to finish off a mob with 150 hp.
Would the weapon gap create a difference in killing speed or downtime to the point where it would affect my decision over this?I'd really just try both, you do have a dps set right? If not you need more than weapons.

horrible
for a warrior, why do that to such a nice weapon?

stay prot, when grinding dailies pop on your dps gear 2 1h's and kill them by spamming devestate
this works great for me. the only downtime is if i accidentally pull 3-4 of the blood elves i will need to bandage after. otherwise, it goes really quickly.
