Requirements

Titan's Grip is the 51 point Fury talent that allows a warrior to dual-wield two-handed weapons. Dual-wielding is only allowed for Axes, Maces, and Swords (no polearms or staffs).

---

Every DPS Warrior will want this skill. There is no longer a decision between a single 2H weapon, or dual 1H weapons.
(And here's why!)

The hit cap for a single weapon (any type) is 9%.
The hit cap for dual-wielding (any type) is 28%.
The hit cap for special attacks (regardless of what/how you are wielding) is 9%.

At a -minimum-, you would want to achieve that 9% hit rating.

Compare the Deadly Gladiator's weapons in this (simplified) example:
2H weapon = 203.6 dps
1H weapon = 156.7 dps

2H Single = 203.6 dps (100% damage, 0% chance to miss)
1H Dual = 206.2 dps (156.7 mh + 156.7*0.625 oh) * 0.81 (damage redution due to 19% misses)
2H Dual = 268.0 dps (203.6 mh + 203.6*0.625 oh) * 0.81 (damage reduction due to 19% misses)

Additional Hit Rating above 9% would not increase the single weapon damage, but it would increase the dual-wield damage, which only furthers the gap between the two specs.

Compared with the only option pre-wrath of DW 1H or a single 2H, the dps was about equal. In wrath, the damage from Titan's Grip is unmatched. There is also the added benefit of enchanting both weapons with big 2H enchants, as well as more reliable rage generation, and more swing-proc events.

Patches and hotfixes

Template:Patched Template:Patched Note: the hit penalty only applies to special attacks (normally 9% miss rate, while the white miss rate would still be 28%)
Template:Patched As of December 12, 2008, the 3.0.8 patch on the PTR removes the hit penalty from Titan's Grip.
