Ok so the unrelenting Assault PVP spec is GARBAGE. In case you’re wondering the Unrelenting Assault spec is where you go down deep enough into Arms to get unrelenting assault, then you go prot for the rest to get improved revenge and a few other things....OMG is it horrible. I mean really horrible. Unless you’re fighting a pally who can’t kite you around or a DK who is trying to faceroll you then EVERYTHING else is going to just kite you to all hell.
See the purpose of this spec is to use Revenge which with Unrelenting assault has a 1 sec CD.
The problem is that you can only use revenge in Defensive stance. Which means you have to macro out of def stance to intercept or charge, macro back into defensive stance and hope to all hell you’re not dead or completely rage starved at this point.
Any and all benefit you get from a 1 sec Revenge CD is negated by the fact that you’re in battle or zerker stance so often.
I got so frustrated I didn’t get a chance to check actual dps on dummies or in a heroic. Ironically enough you do get a few nifty things.
Concusion blow
Revenge
Shield slam
MORTAL STRIKE
Spell reflect
Ranged silence abilities
BUT I suspect your DPS would be so damn low that it’d be hard to justify...this is just speculation mind you.
The other odd thing Is that where as a warrior you probably spend your life behind targets you might actually benefit from standing in front of a boss so he can dodge and parry to proc Revenge. With it being on a 1 sec CD it’s pretty much spammable and it does hit hard. Couple that with MS, conc blow, and shield slam and I suppose it would be possible to do some semi decent damage. Depending on how you spec you could also get devastate....
I can’t recall if there has ever been an effective “hybrid” warrior build. While I cannot confirm nor deny this would work in a PVE setting I’m more than certain in a PVP setting this “UA Build” just doesn’t quite cut it
Announcements!!! NEWS!!! UPDATE!!!
Zygor Guides have been crazy upgraded, as such I'm laying it out right now that Zygor literally blew the hell out of the competition with the revamps. Check them out.

Way back in the day, you could tank anything and any boss up to AQ40 in the 31/5/15 (MS/Defiance/Toughness) build. I think that's as close to a hybrid warrior build I can recall.
It was nice keeping MS up on Ebonroc in BWL so he wouldn't heal up from his shadow damage ability.
Was that really 4 years ago? Wow.
Of course going too far into protection is a bad idea. But the UA spec can be devastating especially when playing versus meele opponents. On the other hand, this spec requires the developpement of macros integrating a lot of actions. This somehow discourages a lot of people. There is a few people playing in the top 1000 in 2v2 arena wich use the UA build. This surely means that the spec as some of its own power. On the other hand, since there are so few people playing it, it can't hardly be compared with classical arms/fury specs wich are easier to play with less stance dancing.
