I am seeing a lot of Arms warriors at the top of the Mythic+ rankers…but also Fury? Which is better right now. I like playing both just not sure which one. It looks like Fury is much better on AOE pulls…so why are so many top players running Arms? I don’t get it.
For M+, I’d say Fury.
Arms has much stronger two-target cleave and short burst windows, but Fury has better 5 target cleave, is much sturdier, and has more static damage. You could realistically play what you want, though.

Both are good and pretty close. I would play the one you enjoy most and become good at that spec.

I’ve seen arms warriors absolutely delete stuff in m10. I’ve also seen fury warriors go ham and pump good numbers.
Like others have said, play what you want. Practice your favorite spec and “git good” at it.

They are doing fairly similar at the top end of raider io (fury being slighty ahead by about 50-100 points at the tippy top). It probably comes down to damage profile preference of the player. The good thing is that you have some overlap between the specs, so it might not be too difficulty to spec both on one char.
So I’m doing m+ currently as arms though I got KSM with fury, and honestly the damage feels slightly behind, but not massively.
What I DO notice, though, is that arms feels much safer and provides extra utility to my runs. Even with giving tanks a respectable amount of time on pulls, I can sometimes pull agro with the right signet procs and a big aftershock.
I love that on necrotic weeks or on certain mobs I can AOE taunt for my tank and DBTS or just intervene him with DBTS up.
Like others said, it really comes down to preference. I feel a little less overall burst and dmg in arms, but feel more consistent from pack to pack, stronger on bosses, and feel like I definitely have some added utility and fit into group comps better with my guild.
Arms is great in m+
I’m currently between 7-9k overall depending on the dungeon
Largest advantage is I never have to worry about pulling aggro
