Im a lvl 60 Full Fury Duel Wielder.
I have 2 other Warriors as well based on Prot and Hybrid Arms Prot
[ I  cant even beleive that guy said that axes arent worth a crap..DEAD WRONG PAL! ]

Look, the way I break it down will not be any technical scientific solution.
I PvP/BG so..this is my perspective from experience in these classes and settings.
As many have said, still... it is a preference.
I have played many different Hybrid specs with Arms/Fury.
The difference is Burst. Arms will give you STRONG bursts of Damage. Blunt Force Kills at a much slower crunch than DW.

Fury isnt going to go in for a kill.
Fury goes in and shreds through a crowd hitting anything around in a fast furious pace
A good duel wielder will know how far to go in, and when to pull back.
You should learn to do your own healing. For one, it shows you are not dependant upon a healer and your more likely to [ not all the time ] receive heals when clothies see you doing so.

With any Warrior, gear is essential.
[ Remember Rule of Thumb in gearing a DW STR/STM/AGI]
If you dont have the gear to go full force at the front lines, DONT! you will die and die frequently. You will cause so much attention to yourself due to the fast amounts of Damage you output that if you are not at a point where your HP and Armor are high. Your a threat and done with immedietley. Healers will not waste there time on those who go in and literally die within 2 seconds. And why should they. Healing will be put on those with gear and who can sustain damage.
HOWEVER! What you SHOULD be doing at lower levels or low gear, is protecting those Healers and anything that comes near a caster. Stay in the back, protect them, and they will in turn protect you. I guarentee it

In your talent[s] and Talent tree,
I would HIGHLY suggest
learning to do the "dance". That means learning to use your Berserker stance. Learn when to mitigate your damage. Defensive stance will help you in threat but Berserker will add +3% critical hit chance & -20% threat generation.
Depending on your Attack Power..you can cause some major major damage with flurry [MAX THAT TALENT]
I would also think about reserving 3 points in Protection for Tactical Mastery. This adds a good amount of Threat when you need it in Defensive stance,however...when you want to start putting out the damage, you will reserve 15% of that Rage when you switch to Berserker.

This is just a little personal experience info for ya on Fury Duel wielding Warriors. I have had great succes with this and believe me, when it is done right [and you must learn the trade,it wont be overnight...dont expect it] you can turn heads, you can be the top damage in raids, you will get heals, and you will overall be greatly proud of your DW Warrior..

Just my 2 copper!
