@Sasuke: I don't talk about fun, I talk about effective. This is mostly because the former is a matter of opinion, and the latter a matter of facts. As I state at the very beginning, those out to play builds that are 'fun', 'original', etc. should not be looking at this thread. I'm not trying to be actively unfriendly, but I really don't want this to degenerate into a discussion of opinions and 'fun'.
I always find more effective builds to be more fun. The OP outlines how I've been playing warriors in PvE for the last year. Good Job on an informative thread.

Normal attacks do so much damage to lower level mobs that HB just makes them explode. Who cares about a +42 damage bonus when your normal hits hit for 60+ damage?
@Katari: Shhhh! It's not fair to the poor lvl6 Charr!
Yeah, that's definitely the more practical reason to take HB to low level areas. It's particularly funny in missions like The Wilds, with large groups of melee enemies (scarabs).
