This is going to be for my 49 warrior. i want to either use a 2 handed sword or axe. now ive made my choices and i was wondering what you all think would be better. use the

axe or use the
www.wowhead.com/?item=9418
sword. going to use mortal strike... and might enchant the axe with +9 damg or savagery to the sword or switch it up idk.
I was thinking

for a build with the axe. and for the sword id use something similar cept spec in swords of course. Or i might lose the fury talents and round off like this

. it all looks like id do some serious damage in the battlegrounds either way. but i thought id throw it up for critics.

hmmm. that is something to consider about the full second wind. that is a good idea and all but just picking the axe because of looks is crazy. i'm looking for some input on dmg and usage. which would be better in any way. and should i go with the +9 dmg enchant or savagery? or even a potency enchant.....

I would go with the axe, 23 strength and 10 hit is always reliable compared to the chance on hit on Stoneslayer.
As for the talents, you are missing Impale. It is a crucial talent for Arms spec, and you should not skip it or wait for more talent points. Remember, you will get to increase CRITICAL STRIKE damage bonus by 20% which will have a huge impact compared to max'ing out 2h weapon spec for a measly 5%. I recommend this:

You can either put points in Imp Charge (my personal preference, allows you to MS right off the bat), or put 2 points in 2h spec to open up Death Wish. It will be your choice, but you really need to consider grabbing Impale.
I also dropped Tactical Mastery in the build. Prior to Stance Mastery skill, I did consider it a crucial talent (not to mentioned it was an Arms talent), but now that you will retain 10 rage after a stance dance, you have enough to do whatever prompted to switch stances (i.e. Intercept at 10 rage with talents and Overpower). I've been refusing to drop TM for the longest time, but I did a month ago to get Flurry 5/5. I don't regret it at all. So that's something to think about down the road too.

Since its for a twink, and people arnt going to have resilience at that level, the axe has better overall dps capability. Str for AP and a little hit.
As for a spec, i say go with this:

At a glance, the DPS lost probably made up for by the attack power on the axe. Truly a special item.

seeing as i already have the stoneslayer i think ill just use it untill i can get the axe off the AH and then respec and go with that, might do some more dmg. but overall thank you for the input. and i think ill put Impale back into my talent tree too.

Thinking of putting a Potency enchant (20 Str) on
www.wowhead.com/?item=9418
or if I use the
www.wowhead.com/?item=13018
i'd use a + 9 wepon dmg. which do you think would be better in that case?

Instead of potency, i would go with Savagery. 40 attack power (potency) vs 70 attack power (savagery). And really savagery isn't that expensive. ~140g. Not sure about the dps difference in +9 damage vs savagery, but using a slower weapon benefits the +damage enchants less. Oh, and get the Cleaver, usually pretty affordable. You didn't mention it, but DON'T EVEN TOUCH KANG, its trash.
