Just looking to help choosing a weapon for PVP. I am new to the 70 club and I am currently spec'd Arms (31) Fury (30). I keep hearing different things...3 different people said 3 different weapons. 1 axe, 1 sword, and 1 mace...Any help is much appreciated, Thanks

2H Mace w/ Mace Specialization is extremely popular & generally accepted as the de facto PVP choice.
Ex.:

Axe: 5% crit is nice. High Resilience player will reduce the effectiveness of this (but you'll still have a higher overall crit% then someone not specced in this). Not as bad as some claim it to be.
Sword: 5% to do 2 swings. Each swing has same amount of crit% i believe. Not sure if this is applied on instant attacks). Resilience rating does not affect the 5%.
Mace: proc of stun is close to 10% (5/5 specialization) for 3.8 weapon speed. Lower for faster weapons. Extra rage is always welcome. Stun effects suffers from Diminishing Returns however, which Charge and Intercept are on the same DR counter (15 sec on same target). Hold your breath and hopes it kick in when you need it most. Resilience will not affect the stun proc or rage generation.
Overall it's a matter of preference. You still have a higher overall crit% with axe spec. Some just prefer the idea that resilience doesn't affect the other two specialty.
In a nutshell, your skills are still the deciding factor in PVP!
