Any viable hybrid specs available for light pvp/tanking? Hopefully something like 30/0/21??

I have never known a prot-hybrid build to be a good idea. All it does is make you bad at two things. Warrior is a class too specialized in their role to be useful as a hybrid. A full arms/fury would almost be as good an offtank as a half-way prot would be, and you still wouldnt be able to maintank raids efficiently. Also worth noting is that Arms isnt viable at all for raiding for two main reasons:

1. Worse DPS than fury.
2. MS debuff takes up a debuff slot on boss that could be better used by something else.

EDIT:
Bonus reason: No 5/5 imp battle shout.

That's about the only hybrid there is. You lose enrage and piercing howl, but gain last stand, improved shield block (boss tanking) and better threat. This spec can easily main tank MC/Ony. Last stand can also be fairly useful in pvp, but the cooldown is long.

You should rather go 5/5 defiance, otherwise you're gonna have a real tough time holding aggro without shield slam.

An arms/prot hybrid would save a lot of gold on respecs, but it's just more viable having 2-3 dedicated prot warriors and have offtanks go full fury. I don't think it has a place for the upcoming BWL progression.
