Thinking about giving Arms a try

I recently turned 80(fury) and before I start getting the appropriate gear and gems for fury, i was thinking about give arms a try, when I get enough gold to dual spec(spent alot of gold on my professions)
Haven't played arms in 2 years so I completely forgot the mechanics of it, but what concerns me is I heard arms aren't as mobile as fury. Thats one thing I do like about my warrior currently is the fact I can "run and gun" so to speak.
Does the arms skill rotation require you to stand in place? Or is this just another misconception.
Thanks in advance.

The only thing that would require arms to stand in place is the 0.5 second Slam cast which Arms uses as a rage dump / free GCD ability.
Arms if fun, it's much more interesting than the 2-button spam-fest of Fury. Honestly, Arms damage isn't that much different than Fury if both are played well.
Give it a try, you might enjoy the Arms playstyle more than Fury.

Update: Ok I had a guildie spot me the money to dual spec, and I got Glyphs:Execution,Rend, MS.
I already used Icehud so I don't have to stare up to see my rage, and look down to see my cds.
The only Proc add-on I could find that works is Eventalert. It works very well for the two procs(only problems is the frame is stuck in the middle which is kind of annoying because I can't even see what I am attacking).
Wow! All i got to say, compared to fury, Arms is a juggling act. Right when I think I can Slam, I get a proc. And the procs are aren't always predictable. Oh yeah, occasionally I become absent minded when it comes to rend. I hardly have time to use trinkets(I gotta macros those soon).
I can see why people think it is fun, Once I find a good alternative to EventAlert I'll be in business.
Oh Btw I am still unaware whats the best rage dump(aka skill when everything else is on CD), Heroic Strike, or Slam?
Thanks
P.S. My gear went up 100 points when I went to arms. I couldn't wrap my head around that.
