http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=1cLuk.xz.Exto0VusR.vhMzV00b What works for dual wield apparently works for two handed. This is the highest single target warrior DPS I've been able to generate so far. The key is always keeping up Strike Like Iron and mixing in 2 Fiery Bursts in between. When Shifting Blades is up mix that into the rotation in place of one of the Fiery Bursts. I keep Shifting blades as a separate button though currently. When mobs get low on health Deathblow starts Critting for some really nice damage. The one drawback of this build is not much AoE, though if you spam your 3 target cleave with the finisher macro you can still pull 2000+ DPS versus 3 targets. Dedicated DPS should run this with a second build for AoE trash clearing between bosses and just switch between them.

Version 2.0: Now with more AoE The main change is 2 points were moved from Titan's Strength to Follow Through for significantly improved AoE capability (5 targets versus 3) with a minimal DPS loss. For me the 2 points of Titan's Strength only represented 20 strength and the difference wasn't really noticeable in several parses. http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=1ckuL.ghMzV0bb.Exx0hVusM.xz Buffs: Slayer's Bearing, Way of the Mountain, Storm Blade, Focus of Body Macros have also been streamlined, Deathblow has been removed since it wasn't making a noticable difference, as was Searing Strike because you're better off just hitting Power Strike again for better damage. Shifting Blades was added to the finisher Macro rotation as it can sometimes tick for 1-2k damage outdoing Fiery Burst which is now just there to fill downtime between Strike Like Iron and Shifting Blades cool downs.

A final refinement to my Paragon Specs: I've managed to combine the trees from my dual wield and 2hand build versions so they can essentially be swapped between on the fly as the situation demands with weapon changing macros instead of having 1 paragon build for dual wielding and 1 for 2h spec. http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=1ckuL.ghMzV0bb.Aex00AucM.xz
