ok here is a logical ? ok warriors can wield everything except wands.....the why is it sometimes you dont see Arms warriors wielding Polearms...yes take it there is nothing in the Talent tree for it to give extra damage buff but still with the speed comparsion to a 2H axe or mace and also there is pretty dang nasty Polearms out there that make some if not a few other 2H weapons seem somewhat ok.for example

vs

or

even
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=11809
for that matter yes diffrent levels but still just wondering even with Enchants on them would still make great Arms weapons.

There are plenty of polearms that arms warriors can use, but the problem is the competition for them is high. If you stroll over to the hunter or druid forums, you can quickly see that some of them see polearms as "theirs". Even though all the stats are useful: agi + AP = str, they dont scale with buffs as well as pure str.
compare:
marrowstrike
and
edge of ruin
. Same ilvl and approximately the same stats. The scaling of str of the edge is made up for by the gem slot of marrowstrike (imho).
the difference is who you roll against.
Edge: 2 DK specs, 2 warr specs, 1 pali spec
Marrow: all of above + 2? druid specs, 3 hunter specs
Effectively halving your chances at getting it. So, we can use it, just less likely for us to get it. Also, as mentioned above, POLEaxe spec.

Not a valid point since endgame is what matters and those enchants are for all 2handers.

Yeah, Arms warriors will certainly use polearms if one is an upgrade. A lot of them are certainly well itemized for hunters or druids, but Arms certainly can make good use of them. This is especially true given that many of Arms' abilites function off of weapon damage only, meaning that strength/AP do not scale as well for arms as they do for Fury, Ret paladins, or DKs (I think they like strength but I'm no expert there). This is part of why Arms stacks armor penetration, as arpen affects all attacks.
But yeah, sounds like it's a combo of there being a lot of polearms taken by druids/hunters and you just randomly not seeing a lot of them on warriors. If you come across one with a good, high top-end damage, and the stats are good, take it and have fun owning face. :)

Ok, what is he trying to say here? Polearms not used by armswarriors? Why would they with Justicebringer/butcher being the ultimate sexweapon to have? They ofcourse pas the polearms to their hunters/druids.
