> I do think you are wrong in thinking this would not end up in some heavy pker's hands if they allowed one weapon spec skills to be used with it (I don't see how you could not).

Yep, although level 40 warriors have a number of good combinations. This idea looks more like HtH or whip/flail- a good second spec.
> You would have mace and axe specs tanking like sword specs...thus taking away the tradeoff, damage for tanking.
Even if they did tank as well as sword specs, they wouldn't be dealing as much damage with one mace/axe than a sword spec can with two swords, unless their opponent can parry swords much more easily (assassins, etc.).
