This looks interesting for a DPS build based around Slam. It treats Slam somewhat like a hunter's Steady Shot, very dependent on the autoattack timer due to the fact that it resets the autoattack timer. It pretty much assumes you are arms/fury (31/30/0, or 33/28/0 to get Blood Frenzy for your raid) for much of it.
I found it interesting. What I haven't done is vetted his theorycraft, hoping to have our DPS war experts here look at it and comment on it, I do not play a warrior.
It's a PDF so quoting bits here is a pain, but here are some teasers.

Slam dps is a lot harder to play than fury warriors if you want to be #1 dps. It s no mindless spamming and you need to keep track on a lot of cool downs, especially if being fury 2 hand slam warrior (which has the highest potential for your own dps). If you are not prepared to give 110% don t try it, you will be disappointed, go dual wielding fury as it s a lot easier to play. Shaman is a must have in your group. It s extremely vital you have a WF totem all the time. Yes even after the wf nerf. Slam dps is fairly easy to get gear for, while dual wielding is much more requiring. 2h fury slam scales extremely well with gear.

So never double slam, even if MS and WW are on cooldown, it just costs rage and lowers your dps. Use the time to recast Battle Shout or something, if you have excess rage use Heroic Strike to up your dps.

As we can see weapon speed affecting slam DPS very much is a myth. While the hit s will be weaker you will also increase the amount s of slams and mortal strikes. More importantly if you use Bloodrage instead (which is not dependant on weapon speed) you get the following numbers (let say BR do 1210 damage) showing that the 3.5 is actually better than the 3.8 when using the 21/40/0 build (read below)
