I've created two Roles for Warrior DPS one is a Dual Wielding spec (Riftblad/Paragon/VoidKnight) and the other is a 2-Handed spec (Riftblade/Champion/Reaver). The third soul can be changed out however you like. Reaver works better in PvP if your not using the Vindicator Role. It will give you an extra ranged attack and the ability to reduce a targets armor (this ability generates PVE hate so do not use in Raid/Dungeon when doing PVE DPS). Void Knight gives you a nice 5% reduction to all NON physical damage.

Warrior DPS is tricky, only because you have 2 ways of stacking stats. You can stack DEX/CRIT or you can stack STR/AP. This is really your choice, as long as you can hit the numbers for raiding. Although with the up coming changes on PTS CRIT for warriors will be moved to STR and AP will be equal between STR/DEX (50/50 instead of the current 75/25).
This spec is a solid all around spec. It has awesome single target, AoE and ranged DPS.
RIFTBLADE - 51
All of them!
PARAGON – 15
Combat Precision 5/5
Teaching of the Five Rings 5/5
Weapon Master 5/5
VOIDKNIGHT – 0
Use Void Knight while raiding simply because you get a 5% reduction of all NON physical damage.
Macros are as follows: (remember you don’t want so many abilities in a macro you never get to use all of them)
NOTE: Testing shows the Single Target Builder to be more energy efficient on a single target then using AoE Builder. If you are constantly depleted of energy it will slow down the execution of your abilities that require energy, this will lead to lower DPS numbers. Use PLANAR Blade Buff over STORM Blade Buff. The bonus to DPS granted by STORM Blade will be off set by the energy starvation, slowing down your ability use. PLANAR blade will keep you in energy and that means using your abilities when they are ready instead of waiting for your energy bar.

Also understand Windspear is a silencing ability and great to have available to use when needed. You don’t need to remove it from my macro, however I would have it also on a spell bar so you can use it when needed by its self.
Self buffs to use are as follows:
AVATAR of the RIFT – ALWAYS (this is why you went 51 points into RB)
WAY of the RIVER – ALWAYS
VOID – ALWAYS
FOCUS of STRENGTH – ALWAYS (if a bard in raid/grp this will be overwritten)
Planar Blade – If no bard (this will prevent energy starvation and you will probably have it on more then any other blade ability)
BLADE of ELEMENTAL AFFINITY – If you need heals, like in PvP or a Rifts/Invasions or even during dungeons and raids. You can switch your self buffs as needed.
STORM BLADE – If you have a bard in group and not having any energy starvation issues this adds a little dps.
ZAM: Warrior DPS Riftblade/Champion/Reaver
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=1cLkA.EGstdsrGdsR.gh00V
This is a viable spec for a 2-Handed Warrior. Removing the Void Knight Soul and replacing with Reaver to gain the extra ranged attack and armor reducing strike. DPS will be comparable to the Riftblade/Paragon/VoidKnight if you have a good 2-Hander.
RIFTBLADE - 51
All of them!
CHAMPION – 15
Take No Prisoners 5/5
Titan's Strength 2/5
Deadly Strikes 3/3
Weapon Specialization 5/5
REAVER – 0
Use Reaver to get an extra ranged attack and the ability to reduce a targets armor for 15 seconds.
Macros are as follows: (remember you don’t want so many abilities in a macro you never get to use all of them). Add Ravaging Strike to your hot bar and click as needed. DO NOT add it to the macro as it will reduce DPS.
