Why Fury over an Arms build?

I wouldn't say that I am "hell bent" on leveling protection-specc'd, but that is currently the gear that I have (other than a decent 2-H axe (Warsong Axe) I got out of Blood Furnace).

I guess what I'm looking for is a skills combination for when I am "grinding" on mobs (i.e. what abilities to use, stance to remain in most of the time, etc.) I had originally leveled mostly Arms in the past but don't know if that is optimal for leveling in Outlands.
You might consider my current warrior build (Varsity, in my signature). It's my rep grinding spec. However, I leveled full prot spec (I ran a ton of instances and found it made sense to play protection) and have only recently adapted to this grinding spec for the billions of Outland factions, etc. The one thing I'd change to your own preference would be the weapon specialization crit bonus under arms. As an orc, we love our axes and I spec'ed accordingly. This spec is very fast for grinding. This is not a PvP spec, it's strictly for grinding mobs. If it were a PvP spec, I would have gone more into Arms for MS. However, I find MS useless in PvE grinds. Instead, I preferred to go down into Fury far enough to grab Bloodthirst. It may seem silly, but 30 points of healing per swing yields great results in keeping you "up" longer and avoiding bandage/food downtime. You will rip stuff up with this spec, I guarantee it.

Good luck
