There are tons of possible talent builds for a warrior, but you can categorize a little by generalizing to the keystone talents. 

'''The Default: Arms/Fury Damage build'''
31 Arms / 20 Fury. 
Key Talents: 
* Arms: Deflection, Tactical Mastery (not necessarily maxed), Deep Wounds, Imp. Overpower, Sweeping Strikes, Mortal Strike. 
* Fury: Cruelty, Piercing Howl, Enrage (or 3 Enrage + 2 Imp. Execute) 
Why? 
* Maximize damage output. Good for Soloing, PvP, and still able to tank if played well. 
Why not? 
* Cookie Cutter Phobia. Primary interest in tanking. 

 
'''The Alternate Default: Fury/Arms Damage build'''
30 Fury / 21 Arms. 
Key Talents: 
* Fury: Cruelty, Piercing Howl, Unbridled Wrath (if dual wield), Enrage, Death Wish, Flurry. 
* Arms: Deflection, Tactical Mastery, Deep Wounds, Imp. Overpower, Sweeping Strikes. 
Why? 
* Similar damage output to default build. More reliance on passive abilities potentially makes tanking slightly easier than primary default. 
Why not? 
* Lack of MS. Dislike of dual wield's miss rate. Primary interest in tanking. 

 
'''The Arms Heavy Build.'''
35-40 Arms / 11-16 Fury and/or Prot 
Key Talents: 
* Arms: All but the most sucky ones (probably just one specific weapon specialization). 
* Fury: Cruelty, maybe Pericing Howl. 
* Protection: Up to Imp Shield block (1), or just anticipation / toughness. 
Why? 
* Likes the tree and wants to be a true master of a weapon type. Heavy solo emphasis.
Why not?
* Lack of Enrage (significantly less dmg when tanking), danger of committing to weapon just to find a beter one in different category. 

 
'''The Fury Heavy Build.'''
33-40 Fury / 11-18 Arms and/or Prot 
Key Talents: 
* Fury: Most of 'em, but especially Imp. Beserker Rage and Bloodthirst. 
* Arms: Deflection and Tactical Mastery, maybe Imp. Overpower / Deep wounds. 
* Prot: Probably just Shield Specialization or Anticipation. 
Why? 
* Strong point is rapid killing of somewhat weak targets in quick succession (i.e. making good use of Bloodthirst). 
Why not? 
* Lack of Sweeping Strikes weakens this build against multiple mobs. Not the most efficient tank unless group moves very fast and has great healing. 

 
'''The MS Tank Build.'''
31 Arms / 15 Prot / 5 Fury 
Key Talents: 
* Arms: Deflection, Tactical Mastery (not necessarily maxed), Deep Wounds, Imp. Overpower, Sweeping Strikes, Mortal Strike. 
* Prot: Last Stand, Imp. Shield Block (1), Imp Revenge (3). 
* Fury: Cruelty. 
Why? 
* Gets the majority of protection's mitigation ability while still dealing good damage. Little easier to tank. 
Why Not? 
* Slightly slower solo play and some weaknesses PvP. No Piercing Howl. 

 
'''The Flurry light Tank Build.'''
30 Fury / 14 Prot / 7 Arms 
Key Talents: 
* Fury: Cruelty, Piercing Howl, Unbridled Wrath (if dual wield), Enrage, Death Wish, Flurry. 
* Prot: Imp. Bloodrage, Sheild block (1), Imp Revenge (3). 
* Arms: Deflection, Tactical Mastery (2)
Why? 
* Gets the majority of protection's mitigation while still dealing good damage. With passive dmg output from flurry, tanks reasonably well (esp. good at rage generation / holding aggro). 
Why Not? 
* Less Tactical Mastery than one might like - no MS obviously. Slightly slower solo play and some PvP weaknesses. 

 
'''The Flurry Concussion Build.'''
30 Fury / 21 Prot 
Key Talents: 
* Fury: Cruelty, Piercing Howl, Unbridled Wrath (if dual wield), Enrage, Death Wish, Flurry. 
* Prot: Imp. Bloodrage, Shield block (1), Imp Revenge (3), Concussion blow. 
Why? 
* Two high tree keystone talents - good damage and good stuns. Tanks fairly well. 
Why not? 
* No Tactical Mastery, no Deflection, no MS. In a rough spot for using quick intercept in PvP. 
[nb: this is the original author's current build] 

 
'''The Sweeping Strikes Concussion Build.'''
21-30 Arms / 21 Prot / 0-9 Fury. 
Key Talents: 
* Arms: Deflection, Tactical Mastery (not necessarily maxed), Deep Wounds, Imp. Overpower, Sweeping Strikes. 
* Prot: Imp. Bloodrage, Shield block (1), Imp Revenge (3), Concussion blow. 
* Fury: Cruelty.
Why? 
* Two high tree keystone talents - good damage and good stuns. Tanks fairly well. 
Why not? 
* No Piercing Howl. No enrage reduces damage potential when tanking. No MS. 

 
'''The Jack of All Trades Build.'''
16 Arms / 14 Prot / 20 Fury (among other mixes - hard to categorize) 
Key Talents: 
* Arms: Deflection, Tactical Mastery (not necessarily maxed), Deep Wounds, Imp. Overpower.
* Prot: Imp. Bloodrage, Shield block (1), Imp Revenge (3).
* Fury: Cruelty, Piercing Howl, Unbridled Wrath (if dual wield), Enrage.
Why? 
* Grab all the tasty good talents at the bottom of the trees. Relatively versalite. 
Why not? 
* No high end keystone talents (Sweeping, MS, Conc. Blow, Flurry). 

 
'''The mostly Protection Build.'''
31 Prot / 7-15 Arms / 5-13 Fury 
Key Talents: 
* Prot: Imp. Bloodrage, Shield block (1), Imp Revenge (3), Concussion blow, Imp. Shield Bash, 1H mastery, Shield Specialization. 
* Arms: Deflection, Tactical Mastery (not necessarily maxed) - maybe Imp Overpower or Deep wounds. 
* Fury: Cruelty - maybe Piercing Howl. 
Why? 
* Heavy tanking emphasis while retaining a few of the goodies from other trees. 
Why not? 
* Slower soloing, possible PvP weaknesses due to lower total damage. 

 
'''The heavy Protection Build.'''
33-44 Prot / 7-18 Arms and/or Fury 
Key Talents: 
* Prot: Most of the tree. 
* Arms: Deflection, Tactical Mastery, maybe Anger Management. 
* Fury: Probably just Cruelty.
Why? 
* Desire to be a brick wall.
Why not? 
* Not terribly useful outside a raid or hard instance. Weakness in 5-man easier intance team is low damage contribution.
