My final character and my true love in Vanilla was a Warrior, and even though I tanked for the most part, I really did enjoy Fury. Back when I first started (Place holder T1 gear, and the very old talent trees of Hunters with Lacerate) I thought Warriors could only tank, but as I met more players I learned pretty quickly that it wasn't that Warriors couldn't DPS, it was just that early on they were really the only tanks and were the only main tanks late game, even if Druids and Paladins could off tank with the new talents and balancing. The guilds that did have enough Warriors to have some as DPS had really awesome ones, and sometimes even the tanks got to try their hand at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apgkI-0tOB4 Orcs and Trolls are probably best, but if you're doing PVE, don't discount the various resistance or weapon skill points you get from other races, such as Human or Dwarf, as those can help you in ways you didn't really assume. The Night Elf resistance is less relevant, but the extra dodge is never bad if you plan to tank. Other things to consider is that as a tank you do get a good share of loot, however, some of the dps loot you might want isn't always going to be plate. Sometimes tanking gear isn't even plate, but that is rare. As for leveling you can do either Arms or Fury, while still tanking dungeons if you know what you're doing, as in non-raid content you can tank pretty reasonably without being specced into it. Oh, and one thing to note, being a Warrior in the leveling process can be painful. It's not always bad, but it's a slog as you are a very gear dependent class, so don't necessarily base your first impression on what can potentially be a nightmare at times, as it does get better, and when it does, it's amazing.
