Update 09-30-2011: Just changed the title to 1.5 the specs should in general be the same, though some of them have been nerfed with the new tanking changes.
Thought we're missing a thread about some pvp specs, so i've tried finding the ones i know of. Though keep in mind that alot will change when 1.5 hits the live servers so this is only for the 1.4patch... so far!
As pvp is build up today physical dps builds wont do any good, due to all kind of mitigation-builds and reducing abilities. Therefor the only viable maintree for pvp is Riftblade, and it seems that will be more certain in the upcomming 1.5 patch wich will reduce the burst given from the physical dps spec's by giving our abilities that's not on the global cd a internal cd of 1.5sec + they will be removing the dmg from our interrupt abilities wich also have been a big part of warrior burst.
First of, we have the Healer-nuke spec. Its a 38rb/28champ/0vind:

Gapcloser:
#show riftwalk

cast fiery burst
aoe-spam:
#show thunder strike

aoe-finisher:
same as normal one
but in case of 4+ppl aoe then use:
#show rift storm
cast rift storm
cast bladefury
keep stonespear and windspear on their own keybinds, since they can be quite usefull in certain situations
buffs: Slayer's bearing, Avatar of the wind, Planar blade
Zin's ragestorm
rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0cLkg.guc0zsMrzs.xhczqM.xf0a0z
a great build, but not that good against healers, but great against ranged rogues. It got a bit more utility, and more survivability than the healer-nuke spec.
Again, use the gapcloser macro from above spec

51 RB
The 51 riftblade is great against other melee oriented specs, it can be used with SnB, 2h and DW(just a matter of preference). The last 15 talents can be put in almost any tree, though i made the version i would use:
rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0ckAL.x.Vuo.EGstdsrGdsR
I haven't really got any macros for this, but they're almost the same as the 2 above spec's.
But buff's for this spec is depending on what team/classes u face. Only one that is certain is Avatar of the Rift. But the last other important varies between Planar Blade or Blade of Elemental Affinity, depending on what/who u face.
And then comes the fun one ;D
38vk/28rb
This build can just as the 51 RB be used like a SnB or a 2H build. Everything about the spec should be explained here:
forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/classes-telara/warrior-discussion/242973-thinking-mans-warrior-pvp-build-vk-rb.html
I haven't tried it myself yet, but i've build the spec today so im gonna use it a bit in the future.
THE WHINE PUNTER
All is explained here: forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/classes-telara/warrior-discussion/244938-kruunchs-whine-punter-pvp-build.html
The objective of the spec is not to kill, but to ANNOY LIKE A MAD MAN!!! + it only requires 1macro... yes 1... U can either use a 2H or SnB for this, but i would recommend the SnB since it makes u able to
last longer and have more fun annoying other ppl.
A SnB build that i just found, haven't had the opportunnity to try it myself. But i focus on supporting the team in WF's:
forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/classes-telara/warrior-discussion/249026-51-warlord-15-vindicator-linebacker.html
Also got Lameboi's SnB build wich some claims to be very effective, but again i haven't tried it out myself:
forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/classes-telara/warrior-discussion/241182-premier-spec-warrior-pvp-dont-let-shield-fool-you.html
Superwoman's LW build
Found 1 more SnB spec wich some ppl claims is quite nice in AoE-pvp like Black Garden or Port Scion bridge fights. It's centered with RB as main tree and Champion / reaver as the 2nd and 3rd tree.
Macro's and the build should all be within this link:
forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/classes-telara/warrior-discussion/250914-superwomens-lingering-wound-build-pvp.html
I will try and update this post when and if i find more spec's that can be used for pvp. Ofc there is alot of SnB spec's aswell but i've always just focused on 2H builds.
