Why it works
This is the classic 29 two-hander plan: win trades with huge yellow hits, punish dodges, and keep targets snared. The Arms setup takes 3/3 Improved Rend to unlock Deep Wounds, 2/2 Improved Overpower for lethal anti-rogue/hunter pressure, 3/3 Deep Wounds plus 2/2 Impale for crit burst, and 5/5 Tactical Mastery so you can stance-swap for Disarm without dumping your rage.
Corpsemaker is the key item: its 3.8 speed gives the biggest Overpower, Heroic Strike and Execute hits, while +15 Strength and +8 Stamina are exactly what a warrior twink wants. The gear leans into the PvP knee of the survival curve: around balance 40 you get about 1020 HP from gear at only an 8% throughput loss; going much harder into stamina starts costing noticeably more damage. Frostreaver Crown, River Pride Choker, Brutal Hauberk, Jimmied Handcuffs and Brawler Gloves keep you durable without giving up the kill window. Highlander belt/boots add strong stats, and the boot run speed is excellent in Warsong Gulch. Use Defiler/Legionnaire equivalents if Horde.
Play by keeping Battle Shout up, Charge as the opener, immediately Hamstring, then maintain Rend to stop stealth resets and feed Deep Wounds pressure. Overpower is your highest-priority proc; pool rage for Execute or Heroic Strike when you are already connected. Disarm melee during their burst, use Insignia to break stun/root/slow, and use Intimidating Shout or Retaliation when you are being collapsed on.
