1. As a tank --
first and foremost we are tanks for groups. When tanking a boss or high lvl elites...sunder, sunder, sunder, and when you've done enough sunders throw in some "heroic strikes" and a few "revenge" attacks which generates hate. Be sure to watch the healers and be ready to pull aggro off them.
If you enjoy tanking protection is a good talent line to put talent points in. One of the most important talents in the protection tree is "Defiance." This adds to the "hate" you build when in defensive stances and makes it less likely that a healer or dps class will pull the aggro off of you. but remember, you will be sacrificing damage while in defensive stance in order to hold aggro.
2. As a dps warrior --
There are a couple different builds you can use to generate high amounts of damage. My favorite is the 31/20/0 build. For PvP you have mortal strike which is the bane of any healing class (debuffs healing by %50 for 10 sec and does a fair amount of dmg).
In group pve I can out damage any class (not dps mind you). Sweeping strikes + Whirlwind = hitting 5 targets 2x and with a few critical strikes you will do a ton of damge and help bring down large groups of npc's rather fast.
3. Gear --
Gear is of utmost importance for us warriors. find high def armor and trinket/rings if you can for tanking. For pvp your most important stats are Stamina, Strength and Agility in that order imho.
I'll add more to this post when im not bored. if you have questions we have several excellent warriors in the guild. Samuraij, Gnomeggedon, Fjorboug, Thranwar, Alizak (up-and-coming).
