Obvious truth is obvious.
but no really.
If you want to go that sort of Bleed/Overpower route.

The World of Warcraft Armory

or if you want to go a more classic route, this is a build that ive seen lots of warriors that arena use as well.

Of course, my personal suggestion is to not go sword at all. Most of the swords that you can get in the 39 bracket don't hold up to the axes you can get. That and the proc for sword spec really isnt great, even now that it's been buffed to 10%. That's 5% crit that you're basically giving up by not using axes.
Just a thought.
*EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION*
In both of the builds I linked there, I went ahead and put the talents into sword spec instead of axes. The warriors that I've seen (and my own) do not use swords.

Do you have the badges for a Bloodied Arc Reaper? I'd say go with that and go Arms with 5 points in Fury for the added crit.
My old Orc with the BAR had like 35% crit in Battle Stance.
Fury is a bit more complicated. Lots of weapon choices, Mallet of ZF Mainhand for sure. WSG Sword/Bonebreaker/BOA Mace/Hammer of Righteousness offhand works fine.

A nice slow Axe is prolly best. I've tried dual wield in the past and it was good but i did much much better with a slow axe. Then i got my PoD and it was GG. Unless duel weilding has changed since then or i was/am just a noob, id say stay away from dual wield and go 2-hand Axe. The slower the better. And remember items with ITEM lvl 35 or greater (not required lvl) can use BC enchants ie: savagery/ mongoose.
PS: all BOA gear is item lvl 1 therefore u cannot put bc enchants on them.

No Mongoose, your a warrior not a rogue, savagery allows for a straight dps increase across all attacks while mongoose allows for a proc that will add some haste= decent and agility=increases crit which is another RNG factor.
When in doubt get the permanent increase to dmg rather then the chance to have a better chance to crit

BoA axe is basically on par with the PoD. You're gimping yourself using anything else. If you want to go fury, that's a whole other story, try to stick with the original topic.

imo
BAR/PoD>>>LoA(lumbering ogre axe)>>>Whirlwind Axe>>>not a whole lot else.
enchants (in rank of awesomeness, not tied to the weapons above in any order)
Crusader>>>Savagery>>>Mongoose>>>Not a whole lot else out there again.
i guess you could technically include 20 Strength, and or 35 agility in that list, i dont because they're poop compared to the other options.
as for the "why" to the "what"...
BAR/PoD both are going to give you the highest burst you can get as an arms warrior. The PoD will do it because it has an amazing 4 second attack swing timer, and a pretty decent chance on hit proc for some added damage. The BAR has a pretty similar deal going in that it's attack timer is 3.8 seconds, but it's advantage is that it also has Stam, strength, and crit strike rating to help push it up a bit. As a note of importance, i personally prefer the BAR for both the stats, and the ease of attaining one.
The Lumbering Ogre Axe is a decent weapon that you won't get laughed at for having. Not the greatest by far, but good enough that you're not a gimped warrior. While the Whirlwind Axe is really only a possible place holder until you can get one of the others. I suggest against using it all together if at all possible.
Enchant wise, Crusader is going to give you a 100 Strength proc with a little heal tucked in there for lulz. 100 Strength is 200 AP which is a massive burst of damage that you cant get from any other enchant in the 39 bracket. Savagery, also known as 70 AP is a decent enchant if you prefer a static AP increase, but in the end you're going to see better performance from Crusader. Mongoose is something that i used to see a good number of newer twinks use on a regular basis. For whatever reason people think that the same enchant that is best for rogues, is also the best for warriors. Dont get me wrong, it will give a good amount of crit and haste but that wont make up for the loss of the potential AP from crusader.
I'll admit though, i have a trash weapon with goose on it just for afking in org
I hope this helps.
