Strength and Axe

Max out axe mastery, put the rest into strength, I like to run tactics for watch yourself if SY isn't on my build.

Make sure you have an IAS, oldschool frenzy/rush or flail, put in for great justice, don't bother with a heal, if you're going to run a rez rebirth or sunspear rebirth signet is best.

A few pointers:
1)A warrior shouldn't need healing skills. Its a waste of attribute points, really. Monks exist for a reason

2)Dchop isn't a very good skill, try distracting blow/strike, which allow you to interrupt 1s skills. Dchop has a 1.33s cast, and it requires 6 hits before it can be used, where most skills worth interrupting (Firestorm, meteor shower, etc) are usually used at the beginning of a battle.
3)Since you're going axe, I would recommend whirlwind attack. Or, if you want to run a zealous axe, then I'd go with cyclone axe.
4)For your revive, sunspear resurrection signet has it's ups and downs. Since you're a warrior, you should be in the middle of the fight, pretty much. Resurrecting your monk when surrounded by enemies, even at 70%+ energy, isn't the best of ideas. Also, because you'll probably be the second or third to go down, the teleportation part of it won't help (As you'll be dead). Try a regular resurrection signet, or just bring a res scroll (Recommended)
5)Firefox doesn't recognize "teleport" as a word. Weird, huh?
6)Since you're using mostly adrenaline skills, I would recommend For great justice!
7)You need an IAS, there's not a reason to not have one. I recommend flail and rush. Or, if you need an IMS without attacking (I.E. missions that require you to intercept enemies) try flail/sprint. Frenzy/(rush/sprint) works well too, and will make you a better warrior to boot. But, it isn't very user friendly.

You need to familiarise yourself with Warrior basics (they're in the sticky). Monk heals, no IAS, etc are all big mistakes.

Feel free to test any build you want, which include "tanking", "self healing paladin". You will eventually come to realise that the warrior's role is to hit and kill things fast. As stated by the rest in this thread.

If you still insist that you perfer tanking and self healing suit yourself cos it PVE. If you like killing things fast you come to the right place.

To answer your question TS. I would max out axe and strength with the attribute points. I would drop the healing skill and replace it with a utility skill (example. Save yourselves, watch yourself, or go for the eyes etc.) I strongly recommend a IAS (increased attack speed skill).

Eviscarate isnt too shabby compared to the rest of the axe elites (opinion based on axe elites only). I would also take for greater justice to maximise the use of this skill.
