I recommend for PvP:  in Arms...max out everything but thunderclap (skip it).  Overpower is optional.  Some warriors love it, others don't bother.   Choose a weapon (I advise Axe or Polearm since they give the crits) and max it, leave the other weapons empty.  Max out Cruelty and UNbridled Wraith in Fury line, which are great in PvP, and enjoy the remaining points as you see fit. 

Warrior Fundamentals:  The Stances

Combat for the warrior occurs during a stance.  The warriors abilities are stance-oriented, that is, they can only be done while in a certain stance (except for a few abilities that can be used in all warrior stances)  When a warrior attacks, he is "in" one of these stances.  Deciding what stance to use and when, is a key component to strategizing the warrior's play.  I'll give you my advice on them below:

There are 3 stances for the warrior:

Battle Stance, which is the primary combat stance- equal balance of offense and defense.

Defensive Stance-  maximizes defense,  lessens offense.  Used for tanking and when preservation becomes more important than a quick kill.

Berserker Stance- forget defense.  We gotta kill this thing NOW!  In this stance you are 10% faster and take 20% more damage.  Is that a good trade off?  I dont think so. 

Battle stance is THE stance for the warrior.  This is the most common stance warriors use in PvP.  It makes best use of your 2-H weapons, and most of the warriors abilities are in this stance. 

TIPS REGARDING SOME ABILITIES AND PVP RECOMENDS:

Charge -  (Battle Stance)  One that you will use over and over again.  It stuns the target for a second or two and gives you rage..  You should always start your battle with a Charge, as it is like getting the ball first in a football game.  Advantage:  You.

Hamstring - (Battle Stance)  Hamstring slows down an enemy, preventing escape.  A key PvP ability.  When your opponent tries to run away, this will ensure his rapid death. 

Intimidating Shout - (All Stances)  This is an AOE ability for the warrior that causes fear in all enemies within its radius for about 10 seconds.   Will cause your death if you are soloing and near a mob.  In PvP, it is a great ability if you are in a group facing an enemy group of other players.
