Tank, PvEPros: Tanking is easy mode. You are easier to heal and still have some worthwhile damage. Cons: This is not the best tank spec for PvP as you lack the 5% critical chance, chance to resist stun, and extra main hand damage (although that only adds roughly 5 dps). Consider dropping Feint, Vigor, and Cleave for PvP, but then you won't be able to tank dungeons. Battle, PvE\PvPPros: You deal massive damage, especially to groups, and can PvP with the build since the only thing you are missing is stun resist. The extra interrupt from Ankle Slash can be extremely useful for dungeons (additional AoE for Boss 1 of RKL, additional interrupt for Boss 1 of ETL, additional interrupt for Boss 2 of GSL) and is great in arena. Cons: You also don't have Onslaught for extra 6% Swift Strike critical chance (although I've never been able to figure out if this applies to 2h properly). It may be worth dropping Ankle Slash and 2 points from Staunch to get it.

Hi Kob, wouldn't be "Thunder Shout" useful as well for PVP? Daze one enemy, kill the other?

I usually don't bother with it since any damage breaks the stun. Since one of your main attacks (Vortex Blade) does area of effect, it really gimps your damage to hold off using Vortex Blade (not to mention the armor reduction qualities if you've taken them).
The only place I find myself using it is when targets are separated (in PvE or PvP), but it's really hard to find a place to take the extra point from (for me at least).
