Your best pre-raid 2H would be Arcanite Reaper, crafted by Blacksmiths. As a fury warrior, I would still go for 1H weapons, you'll have higher loot competition, but you'll definitely do more damage.

8% is the hit cap for special abilities on bosses for 2H weapons.

For raid utility as 2h fury (and dps for that matter) He will be better off with Nightfall. I'm not sure if it is available (yet) in this patch?

Yes, nightfall is essential for a raid group, but there are other classes that should be using it, since it gimps a fury warrior's dps so hard. Usually the off tank

playing as an orc, I'm going for arcanite reaper + riphook with the rest being conventional pre BiS fury gear which should put you at 8% hit.

8% is the duel wield special cap. 2H is 5% from what I recall, 8% caps whites

This is correct. Specials cap with a 2h against raidlvl boss would indeed be 5% and white-cap 8-9% (last number was always debated).

Agreed. This would normaly be the case. However, if he plans to raid as 2h fury and the guild lets him I'm just saying that Nightfall would probably yield a higher DPS than Arcanite Reaper.

Actually it would be 5.6% Stylehitcap vs raidbosses. Regardless if you use a 1h(dw or not) or a 2h weapon.
