Arms warrior viable as of 5.4

[lokah]

I was planning on making an arms warrior, but the recent changes increase slams cost to like 25 which is a lot, I mean the damage is nice but that is a lot of ramp up time, thoughts?

Less spamming slam, more burst. A decent buff imo, arms will crit like a truck as if it already didn't... ^^

yes definitely a buff, arms wars are already quite viable, especially at 24...can be nasty with double charge + pummel

Arms is too good , Within the changes of next patch will be kinda OP ... , 25% heal reduction , Bfatigue will be 55% up from 45% , Regrouth may crit 350 , Holy shock 250 ! +Slam dmg is increased and could crit like 1k !

I've been playing a warrior at 24 for a long time now. IMO the have never not been viable. Even during the time period when we had no slows at all. (loss of peircing howl, before warbringer) it will be interesting to see if this slam change will increase or decrease damage now that slam costs 25% more rage.
