Is there a way to still pull this off and be able to perform decent damage during burst windows?

No. You’ll have to wait for WoD classic.

no since gladiator stance replaced SB with shield charge witch we already have and would have to be remaid to fit
While it was alright on paper, reintroducing it isn’t exactly the right thing to do. People need to get over their irrational anxiety of tanking and understand that they can try and max out their throughput with tank specs to the best of their ability.
Prot’s actually one of the good options here since it’s Colossus Tree while a touch rage starved can do monstrous damage throughout a key, provided you’re a touch overgeared for the content and can plan your defensive use of rage while focusing on offense.

Farm content defeats the purpose here. Even with both rage talents, Colossus is starved under Thane with neither. I don’t even know why they buffed the Demolish damage reduction, since the only way to reset it quickly is in multitarget, but again, rage is a gigantic barrier for Colossus.
They should’ve just buffed the rage generation, so it could actually be played more. I like messing with Colossus Arms in farm +10s, but sub-3 targets it feels terrible.

What is this prot warrior “execute build” that I’ve heard about?
You just spec into Sudden Death, Massacre, and Juggernaut (and typically Into the Fray as well).

I was just about to make a topic on a Gladiator Stance petition even though we will probably never see it. Blizzard will never see this, but by some act of the gods if they do, just note there are a lot of use out there that will promise to tank more and go into debt giving you money to have this back! Id take up to a 15% dps loss to have this back!! I love prot, absolutely love it, but I like dps more and dump most of my time into what makes me happy. If Gladiator stance existed id do both without a complaint… Not only would I tank in M+ more, id even do charity runs to get low IO people some gear and score!!
That’s my plea for the year lol. In conclusion, bring back gladiator stance! 
Just once in a while we wanna dps while hearing the beautiful sound of shield slam instead of tanking!
