This is my warrior build i use for pretty much everywhere i go with my warrior and works well for me. Last night in a 5 man group for uw i tanked most of smites before monks left.

Attributes:
Strength 10 +1 +1 =12
axe mastery 8 +1 =9
tactics 2 +1 =3
earth magic 12

skills:
power attack- for a bit of dmg (i think about 26 or 28)
watch yourself- pump up everyones defence 20 for 6 seconds
dolyak sig- pump up my defence 36 and prevent knockdowns for 18 seconds
armour of earth- adds 53 to defence for about 35 seconds
obsidian flesh- 20 armour and no spells for about 20 seconds
i will survive- a bit of defence from conditions
rez sig
utility slot (ussually disrupting chop or executioners strike)

equiptment: zealouse chaos axe of enchanting 13% wen enchanted 18% longer enchants and magmas shield -2 dmg wen enchanted +51 hp wen hexed

because of the zealouse haft i have no energy problems and i take very little dmg from physicle attacks. What i really need help on is condition and hex management.

Plz post what you think of the build and ideas for improvement.

i would actually use a hat+sup rune for ax mastery to bring you to 12 ax
then drop power atk for penetrating blow

since you are a w/ele no hex removal possibly that i know of obsidian flesh will give you 20 secs of no hex
combine it with 20% enchant thats umm 24 secs then with umm maybe glyph of elemental pwoer that shoudl be enough hex management , for conditions i guess you will have to stick with i will survive

random is right about the hex and condition thing: you're out of luck because of your class. If none of your skills are elite, you might want to add in cleave as your extra skill. It's one of the best warrior elites overall.

Other than that, you're just going to have to learn to live with the fact that conditions and hexes will still get you.
