Arms talent build?

Hey everyone,
I've been playing arms since I started, but I just thought of an interesting spec:

I was just wondering what everyone thought of this, in terms of PvE viability?

It's interesting but a waste I think. SD procs deal huge huge damage. Getting the points in Improved TC and incite are interesting but don't provide much use.
All tanks have abilities that lead to the 20% reduced aspeed thing. Cleave/HS/Tclap +15% crit is really useless. As Arms your GCDs should always be occupied. Cleave is hardly used unless you're facing some trash and have full rage. Same goes with HS. Slam is pretty much your "free GCD move." I don't see why or how you'd want to fill that with a TC instead. Sudden Death is an amazing talent to have you shouldn't skip it up for some lackluster points in the Prot Tree.

Well, then perhaps revising it by taking the 2 points out of second wind and maybe 1 out of improved mortal strike to go into Sudden Death. I just wondered if it would help for TC -> Deep Wounds/Trauma/Blood Frenzy.

Oh wow I didn't even see that you had second wind. That's a PvP skill and is near useless in PvE.
Thunderclap does awful damage unless you've got like 50+ mobs around you. It doesn't use regular hit/crit it uses spell hit/crit. You shouldn't even bother with it.

Ah, I didn't realize it was spell crit/hit. I guess that wastes that whole idea. Thanks though :)
*secretly levels tailoring to make a dedicated TC build...* ;)

I second that Valour when it comes to the talent build. I myself have the same build, and with exception of weapon I currently carry I use the exact same talents. I've experienced a great deal more DPS since making the change to Arms. For awhile I was extremely @#$%ed about having to change my Spec from Fury to Arms. But since playing Arms its actually better for me.
Here is my spec, along with my current gear. I know that I will get differing opinions when it comes to weapons. But when Jawbone drops in 25 man I couldn't resist.
