gimme some input for a tauren Duel Wield warr

Deep wounds (and thus Impale) is not needed in a DW template, it favors a slow 2handed weapon far more than a fast 1 handed weapon because the damage done by deep wounds is an average of your weapon's actual damage (slower weapons will have higher numbers to average in order to maintain a typical DPS, for example, a 4 second delay axe with 200-240 dmg may be a 55dps weapon (averaged) but for deep wounds the dmg done by the crit will be 220, versus a weapon that's 54-56 dmg every 1 second (55 dps) in which deep wounds would do 55 damage over the 12 seconds).

Also note that Bloodthirst does not activate after a PvP kill from what I've read.

From almost everything I've read, the only truely viable "dps" warrior build is going to include mortal strike. I'm toying with the idea of dual wielding with axes, and trying to somehow get flurry and axe spec. If that's not possible I may just put some stuff into the fury tree and max heroic strike (as that will be the attack I typically use) and just hope that I build enough rage in PvP through the use of two fast weapons and unbridled wrath to actually maintain similar dps to something such as mortal strike via normal attacks, typical specials and things such as sunder armor and disarm, which are attacks that a typical "MSer" wouldn't use in a "typical" pvp situation, as it's pretty damn hard to build 30 rage from the ground. TM is critical for me in PvP currently, if I couldn't switch stances and maintain that minimal bit of rage, I don't think I would enjoy the Warrior at all. Especially with intercept and disarm, I find myself switching to zerker stance and defensive stance to use those two abilities quite frequently. And I think it is needed for any viable pvp Warrior build that wants any sort of versatility.

If I did a DW template it would probably look something like this

You can take points out of things like Improved Battle Shout and Blood Craze, and toss them into stuff like deflection, and bloodthirst. I would probably actually drop a point from Bloodcraze for Bloodthirst now that I think about it, that's some good stuff in PvE.

* The main reason for taking Imp. Overpower over Imp. Charge, is the skill only costs 5 rage to use, and half the time it will put you into flurry mode which will drastically increase your DPS and thus your rage buildup.

Also note that there are some very nice skills in the protection tree that may in fact be viable for pvp, especially if you are the person that "charges in" that alot of people attack first (distraction) 10% extra armor (probably somewhere around 4400 or 5000, which with alot of stamina can make you pretty tough to bring down for melees) 40% chance to stun off revenge, an actually stunning attack, 16 second disarm (iirc) and a 100% chance to SILENCE for 3 seconds with shield bash (not to mention the new shield block talent for 50% increased blocking (which will hopefully be improved on since shields don't block nearly enough damage at higher levels) and an added 200% dmg to shield bash, which would probably really be felt by the casters you are using it on, not to mention it's cooldown is only 45 seconds). As well as up to a 15% chance to resist charm/stun effects and don't forget last stand or improved sunder armor, which are also both useful.
