Maybe you already tried everything out and know all this shit, but I already wrote it so what the hell.
Warriors definitely don't suck right now, imo they're at their best since wotlk. Basically arms is the cookiecutter spec. Rend is back and is easily the strongest dot in the bracket, thunderstomp applies a 50% snare to everyone it hits, and mortal strike does what it always did except now it costs rage to use, rather than giving you rage on use. All rage comes from charge and melee swings now, but the rage generation is so huge you can most of the time just sit def stance. Stance dancing of course works well too, but you really don't have to do it a lot due to the high rage generation and having nothing to dump your rage on. Most of your damage will come from spreading rend, which applies quite a bit of pressure to enemy healers. Your go-to spec most of the time.
Fury was buffed greatly in WoD, so it's a viable spec now too. You lose DoT, but gain a lot more burst damage. You can't sit def stance as much as a fury, and rely on RNG to get procs from bloodthirst (20% to proc, and the proc gives you 2x cost free wildstrikes with half the GCD). You can spam 4 wild strikes in a row with a proc and full rage bar (5 if melee swings hit at the right time I guess), and ws hits over 1k crits so it's definitely one of the burstiest classes there is right now. Fury is more about single-target damage and burst and more rng, but killing healers or EFCs might be easier as fury. Fury also has piercing howl back, which is spell amazing enough to not need any explanations. Fury is good, but lacks the sustained/spread damage that arms has, and is a bit less tanky due to not being able to sit def stance as much. The RNG also makes it weaker in 1v1s imo (vs healers however you might have more of a chance than arms, because you have more on-demand burst), and I prefer arms for solo queing but fury will do the job usually aswell.
I suggest you try both out and see what you like, or keep on playing both specsProt is really not even worth mentioning. Tank specs take additional 25% damage in PvP action now and shield slam was nerfed to shit (hits about 30, blizz logic I guess). You'll be more tanky as fury or arms FC due to not having to deal with the +25% damage taken debuff.
One more thing, execute hits like an absolute beast right now. For fury and arms, the tooltip should just say 'press button - receive bacon', because you're 99% certain to get a kb once you get an execute off.
Lastly, just leaving my armory here in case you're interested on updating your gear for arms. Str scales really well now and crit hardly gives any benefit for arms, hence the lack of it in this setup. (loom helm in bag)
