Despite this being the Arms Warrior guide, for this phase we recommend swapping
to a deep Fury 2h talent build as it outperforms equivalent deep Arms talents due
to the strong Death Wish bonus present in the Tier 2.5 set and due to
its better scaling. You can find this build in the link below after scrolling down
past the regular Arms talent build.
