Just wondering people's opinions on talents for DW warrior?
Specializations I was thinking Berserker and Champion.
Mainly interested in ppl's thoughts on the dual-striking and precise striking. Will probably end up with dual-striking anyway as it's on the way to other talents, but is it worth using? don't like the sound of no crits tbh. Also, what about Precise striking? Is it worth investing in for the +att and crit?
Also is it worth maxing the powerful line for death blow? And what about dual-weapon mastery. Is that as good as it sounds? Or should I just go with longsword/dagger and put the extra 6 or so dex I'd save in str instead?
Thanks for opinions.

Berserker and Champion are probably the best pairing. A lot of people favor Reaver, but frankly the upgraded War Cry/Rally ability is far more useful.
Dual Striking mode is pretty much worthless (it appears to be bugged), Precise Striking didn't seem worth it to me.
All of the dual wield talents are worthwhile for their tier 4 abilities and as a warrior you should get your Dex to no more than 36 to unlock the final talent, then dump everything else into STR and use axes. You'll be doing most of your damage with dual weapon sweep and whirlwind so make sure you get the superior dragonbone platemail and any other item you can find that increases your STA regen.
Some people don't care for deathblow, but I find it's decent.

Thanks for the advice 
yeah was thinking I probably wouldn't bother with precise striking, don't want to lose attack speed, and can probably get enough +hit with other talents. Also, it's yet another sustained ability to suck down my stam =/

Generally u dont run DW Warrior as the only Melee, hence u should have a proper tank along with u, like alistair for example, and he can have the Rally, allow u to use the reaver spec.
precise striking is not so bad, besides u can get the free att / crit for 1 talent point right the way.
when running Momentum, Berserk, Blood frenzy etc, it is hard to have much spared stamina, on average u are using 1 whirlwind 1 duel weapon sweep per fight.

Yeah was thinking about Reaver, but to me doesn't seem so much like a dps spec (Though the name sounds dpsey). As for a tank, I wasn't planning on one tbh, was just gonna tank it with my DW war PC, with 2 other melee DPS and Morrigan or Wynne (probably Morrigan as she's hawt) as healy buffbots (Though for dragons and such I might possibly swap a dps for a dedicated tank).

Dual Striking mode, paired with Momentum is a great combo when you run out of stamina in a fight. It just gushes DPS.
I went down the bravery line, got all Dual Wield talents and champion talents. My warrior is tearing through enemies like there is no tomorrow.
Good luck. Dual Wield Warriors are amazing.

I tanked the High Dragon with my DW warrior. It was easy. My party consists of me (DW warrior), Dog (woof woof), Leililana and Wynn. It's about as under powered as you can get and I have had zero issues with any part of the game.
Also, Precise Striking sucks for DW, it's not worth the stamina. In fact I wouldn't run any sustained buffs other than Berserk and Momentum and I would make sure to invest in the upgrades for Berserk (Constraint) and get some +Stam regenerating gear (There is a full suit of armor that gives great +stam, and a belt that gives a ton too). Blood Thirst just doesn't seem to add enough extra "oomph" when you're already stacking Berserk and Momentum in order to justify its negatives.
Spamming special attacks, especially if you dual wield "slow" axes is the way to go. Stamina is not really an issue once you get Constraint and Dual Wield Mastery. Furthermore, if you run with Wynn, just set up a tactic to have her rejuvinate you all the time.
