1h fury - not too shabby

Been reading lots of forum posts about 1h weapons and warriors and they all said that it sucks. I had to try it out for myself though, if it would suck and all. I went to OS25 in a 21/50/0 specc (sweeping strikes, no bloodsurge as i dont even use that skill with tg) armed with a muppet-bear-fist on both hands.
In similar conditions in os25, i can do about (overall damage) 3100-3200 as arms, around 2,9k as fury...and with 1hfury i ended up at a whopping 2,4k. thats only 500 dps loss, so my conclusion is that it doesnt suck at all, and all that negativity on forums is nothing but bs.
If you got epic onehanders, and only superior or uncommon 2handers, it is definitively viable, let those silly rets and dks laugh at you, and then outdps them by 800 and laugh back.

If a dk or pally is only doing 1600 dps in a 25 man group, hes probably a tank.

I think that its pretty good that someone has actually tried to PROVE that it sucks rather than just say it does because 2-handers hit harder. I thought about a 1-hander fury spec with the arms talent sword specialization, so on a proc you get an extra swing on the same attack. That to me more than makes up the fact that 2-handers hit harder, and imagine a sword specialization proc while a berserker weapon enchant effect is up.
So in conclusion, Thank you Skumbananer for proving that there is not much of a damage reduction.

Depends what you like to play, it's your money to play the game, personally I prefer 1h fury, the rage generations a lot steadier and missing is manageable, whereas missing with TG can destroy your rage generation, especially in pvp.

Well someone can go out to PROVE that you do less damage with 1 2 hander vs 2x 2 handers but its common sense and there's no need for that. He does 15%~18% less damage switching to one handers. It's not like it's an absolute surprise or anything.

So, you lose roughly 15-25% dps, going 1H fury, and you're saying that the spec doesn't suck? How does that work? Why would anyone pick it then unless they accidentally vendored all of their 2H weapons? In all fairness, that was more or less your point, but saying the spec doesn't suck is a pretty big stretch.

yeah, this is what i'm trying to figure out. you lose 17% of your damage, which means the spec fails, but then you say "it doesn't suck at all".
huh?
