Arms is a great spec for Leveling, Dungeons and PVP, even though you’re Arms spec you can still be a Tank so make sure you keep a one hand weapon and a shield handy for Dungeons. However I will still recommend you use Protection Spec for Leveling, because Protection will still deal A LOT more damage than Arms during leveling. This is because Arms spec will rely very heavily on gear, while Protection spec rely on Talents and Abilities for damage.
Playing protection spec is extremely effective for leveling as Revenge will deal a large amount of damage when combined with Improved Revenge for double damage against two mobs, Protection spec will offer you more single target damage, more AOE damage, more Survivability and will also make you a better tank for Dungeons. The only reason I can think of for you to play Arms spec is just to try a different play style which is ok 
.
Unfortunately Fury is a bad spec for early leveling because Raging Blow available at level 31 requires you to be in Berserker Stance and you need to switch stance frequently to Charge and to make things worse Intercept is not available until level 50, Stance Mastery is not available until level 58. So until level 58 you can’t really use your signature ability Raging Blow properly because you have to Charge switch stance and loose all your rage which is very inefficient.

Sorry, you lost me. I just leveled Fury from 13 to 70, had a blast, didn’t have to fiddle with changing stances, and was consistently at top of damage charts in dungeons for my level. Stayed in battle stance with Charge nearly exclusively. Fury works great for leveling.
Marc Parsons 898 days agoHow about 80-85 leveling? My Warrior is an alt that I like to play just by himself so I never tank for group and I am not good at playing warrior. I just want to level and enjoy playing him.
Frederick Blundell 874 days agoHi Dugi! I am very happy to have taken your advice. I leveled my Wargen to 20 in just a few days using Protection and it was as easy as breathing. I may have done well with fury as suggested by venndann, I just never tried it. Im sure venndann had good success or he/she wouldn’t have said so. Of course I also follow your levelling guide. Maybe that has something to do with it. When you have to make difficult choices, its always a crap shoot, unless you can get advice from someone who has experience and has tried it already. Thanks to you and your staff for the many hours of programming and testing and re-programming to bring everything to reality. I dont know what I would do without you. Papabear.

he didnt say fury doesnt work, he said it would be easier to do the other 2. anything works, hes just saying because of the tree layout and the lvl u get abilities, fury would be the least effective of the 3
