You realize axe is only 5% too? And a 2cd hit is about the same damage as a crit.  On top of that the sword gives you the ability to get 2 crits in a row which means twice as much damage as the axe spec.

as your crit increaces, sword spec becomes better and better than axe spec as you get more crit-hit,  or crit-crit combos.

Also.... the sword spec proc is on a seperate dice roll. Axe spec gets put on the same dice roll as your crit. What does that mean??? In axe spec if you get a  crit (a crit that would happen even if you didn't have axe spec), then your done for that round. With sword spec, if you get a crit, you still get the dice roll for your 2cd hit. That dice roll occurs every swing. This means that the sword proc actually occurs more often than the axe spec crit. 5% doesn't equal 5% if you can swallow that math.

You do realize that the crit bonus is reduced in pvp due to resilience.  I prefer sword cause although its 5%, i also have a crit % already at 30%.  That means there is the chance of getting the double hit to also crit.  And my crit chance will only improve as i get better gear. 

Like stated above, mace is best for 2v2 teams, but higher lvl or larger teams you want to have the extra burst damage.  Especially against teams with healers.
