Tactics 10+1 Rune

Drop Dolyak Signet.
Drop Resurrect.
Drop either WY or healsig.
Drop Tiger Stance, bring Flail.
Bring Save Yourselves!
Bring For Great Justice!

For a "PvE" build, I see nothing wrong with it. It looks like it would work just fine. If it was PvP, I would go with Savio. But this looks good. If your having to spend money for skills then don't.

Unfortunately, SY is not usable in PvP unless you're Izzy.
Also, I'm not sure what campaigns the OP has, so I can't suggest more skills.

Whirlwind Attack is really good with Dslash.
MBP
another new combo to add to dslash builds is
[skill]steelfang slash[/skill] + brawling headbutt
so the bar would be like this
[skill]dragon slash[/skill]Brawling Headbutt[skill]steelfang slash[/skill][skill]"for great justice!"[/skill][skill]"watch yourself!"[/skill][skill]flail[/skill][skill]enraging charge[/skill][skill]lion's comfort[/skill]

Dolyak sig is bad.
Flail is better than tiger stance if you have it.
Dolyak sig is bad.
You're probably fine with either WY! or healsig.

Um...how? Hitting 3 enemies with one attack = Dslash more.
Also, I don't see how Save Yourselves is so good. You're a WARRIOR, you're supposed to be the one taking the hits. Giving everyone except the tank +100AL seems pretty ftl to me.

Giving everyone else +100 AL means the AI focuses more on you, the less-armored target. It also means everyone is taking less damage, so the monks can focus on you more. Everyone wins. Also, tanking is stupid.

I fully agree that playing "pure tank" is stupid. You still want enemies to focus on the Warriors though.

Just replace remedy signet with a rez signet or such.

Why would you want steelfang in a ds build? Galraths/ Silverwing deals higher damage, and when you use ds why would you need the +4 adren from steelfang?
Btw @ Mansour, attribs for normal ds build would be max swordsmanship (+1 helm +3 sup rune) Maybe +1 tactics rune and +1 str rune... Best available vigor rune, on other peices.. absorption maybe? Insignia-wise survivor to offset the -75hp from super rune... 8 in tactics with +1 to reap full benefits from a tactics sheild and same for the +1 str... 12 in swords, 8 in tacs +rune and rest in strength. My build which is just War is something like this : "For Great Justice!" Enraging Charge (Works well in sync with Fgj for nice adren gain) Flail Brawling Headbutt (continual KD, keep foes on their asses at all time!) Especially those ele/ monk bosses  Sun and Moon Strike Dragon Slash Optional/ "Save Yourselves!"/ "Watch Yourselves!" Optional for the optionals take a hard rez for pve since your w/mo and SY works well for the other optional. Take a self-heal if you dont trust your monks. Ive always used Lions, but its come to my attention that perhaps Healing Sig is better as you dont lose adren that way .

Superior isn't really necessary, and it's possible to spec 9 in both Strength and Tactics without runes. You don't need Tactics unless you insist upon healsig and/or a Tactics Shield.
Qdq Swi
your right, steelfang.. will get it
, Mansour has /Mo just giving an example, if he wants to change he can... just aint askin no questions . And yeah sup and runes for tac/ str arent necesary.. but they sure do help. What other runes would you put on your armor for utility?Btw, what are your attribs while W/P? Same attribs, Im not sure but I wouldv thought so, shame leadership is para prime lol... Maybe less in tactics though and more in Str.. Just I cant find a Q9 Str gothic defender so I have to use tacs lol :s....
Savio
14 Swords, 13 Strength. I don't bring Heal Sig as I have monks, and speccing 9 for just a Tactics shield is pointless when I could bring a Strength shield.
Minor Swords, Superior Vigor, Minor Strength/Vitae, Rune of Clarity/Vitae, Superior Absorption/Vitae. All you need is Swords and Vigor, the rest is unimportant so more health is a plus.

More health isnt a bonus if you want mobs attacking you (PvE not PvP) Rune of Clarity.. Shall be getting one of them . 9 tac isnt pointless if you use WY or dont have a decent Str sheild.

The skills Savio listed included Flail, a self-snaring IAS, and a PvE-only skill. I don't think any of us would go for it for PvP.
As with everything in Guild Wars, the worst skills for each task still work, but you can help out not only yourself but your whole group by bringing better skills. The exception: Rezzing someone with 25% health and 0 energy does not "work just fine." It usually results in doubling their death penalty. Use Res Signet, Sunspear Rebirth Signet, or Death Pact Signet. If you need to res more than once, odds are your group sucks. A Warrior has 116 Physical armor. You don't need Dolyak Signet. In a Dragon Slash build, having more attack skills than Dragon Slash is more likely to hurt your DPS than help it. Also, [skill=text]"For Great Justice!"[/skill] is the cornerstone of your damage output in such a build because under its effects, Dragon Slash recharges itself.

If you can get Dslash, you can get "Save Yourselves!". SY >> WY, and SY means they'll probably attack you more. So, more health is a bonus.
It's also not hard to get a decent Str shield.

It's also not hard to get a decent Str shield. Last time I cheked Str Gothic Defenders that wer dual modded solf for 100k + xx ecto.. inscriptable gothic defenders cost even more.. even at q13... gothic defender is my fav sheild.. and if it means putting a few attribs on tacs it doesnt matter to me. el_mansour

Yes, definitely do that. Drop the other Vitae, in fact, and put in a Rune of Clarity instead to reduce Blind duration. If you're running Superior Vigor and all minor runes, you have plenty of health.
