im not a fan of titan grip. so its either arms or one handed fury, but that could be less optimal performance
but this is about you so what i think both are fast paced style, but fury needs more optimal uptime on its target than arms

If you’re looking for a fast paced playstyle, both Arms and Fury have it, but Fury is a GCD locked spec, while Arms does have a few moments of downtime.
Both have a pretty simple priority system with a few nuances (that are largely solved via weak auras) but have very different damage profiles. Arms is a very back loaded spec that does OK single target until they hit the execute phase and become one of the best Single target DPS classes. It also has an easier time dealing with AoE due to Cleave.
Arms does however, have a bit of a setup process (Rend + Deep Wounds) before it can start DPSing and this is especially true when playing Colossus for M+.
Fury on the other hand has a very steady damage profile, with a very straight forward priority. Its damage isn’t as reliant upon execute so it has a very smooth damage profile across entire fights. Fury struggles with big AoE without cooldowns due to being target capped at 5 targets for its AoE.
Of the two specs Fury is easier to play IMO, despite Arms seeming like it has an easier priority.

Both Arms and Fury are fast paced dps specs, for a few reasons.
Arms - In for the Kill + 4p set bonus which procs haste in s2.
Fury - Frenzy + Frenzied Enrage.
Both specs have short cooldown burst windows.
Arms has a couple more caveats for optimising their burst windows while Fury is a little more straight forward, however do not let this make you believe that Arms is much harder to play as Arms rewards you more for thinking a few abilities ahead and planning your next move which comes natural after playing it enough since you’ll learn what to do in each situation with experience.
This is a very broad statement and only covers slayer in raids.
Colossus which is the build played in keys has pretty solid ST and foregoes execute based talents for more upfront damage and has a steady damage profile and tends to do very well ST wise while building maximum AoE.
Although that being all said, WOD? as in Warlords of Draenor?
Fury is most fast paced
Fury is constantly pressing buttons, no downtime, its a true menace to the enemy, it also does have a better survival with bloodthirsty and enraged regeneration, miles above ignore pain and die by the sword(that, unironically, makes you die by anything else that isnt melee attacks 
)
Arms is heavy dependant on procs and passive rage generation from auto attacks and being attacked. Its the only spec in the game that don’t have “builders” to generate your resource, even overpower don’t.
But as always, play both, try out and see whats best for you and which one you have more fun.

Did you not see this in the OP?
Was less directed at you and more confused af as to why the OP is looking for answers about a main for WoD when that’s nowhere near classic lmao.
