Dps, damage per second makes giant swing obsolete because (as it was said before) it has a long cast and cooldown time. It does ok dmg, but it doesnt go into a good warrior dps build (or soloing build, as warrior's dont usually do dps in boss fights). Pummel is quick and does good dmg.

Yes very true. I still love giant swing though. Its good to use shatter first then my giant swing, does a lot of damage. Then rupture. Double attack if it's not dead

^Personally Im a spear user and I have this :

Lvling:

Shatter - 40/40
Rupture - 40/40 or 45/40
Pummel - 50/40
Double Attack - 39/40 , gonna add skill points tho.
Frenzy - 40/40 (For now)
rest I put in bandage for some solo unelixired lvling, I get half a bar here and there.


Bossing :

Shatter - 40/40
Rupture - 49/40
Pummel - 42/40 or depending on boss 50/40
Double Attack - 39/40 , gotta add skill pts as I said.
Frenzy - 40/40
rest in bandage still

I swap gear, I have a royal pummel brace from mordy and imperial rupture frostiron brace, and I switch between darkfire halberd of str to despoiler hammer to hit with rupture, I enjoy having it and Im a quick swapper so I can do Rupture and seeing the hit with my halberd
I do that mostly because OTM wont make Pummel effective on bosses soon if at all, nor ppl will admit that warriors arent perfect, yet I still gotta do dps somehow.

Pummel skill is must to have for any build - giant swing on other hand is usefull skill but has longer cooldown. Being lvl 150 warrior, i have pummel 30/35 and giant swing at 1/35 and with shatter for my lvl mobs i almost hit same damage for both of those skills. I've seen endgame toons for bossing using giant swing skill more and more, but it really depends on your gear and your build. Just play with what you're feeling comfortable.
My advice would be using shatter, rupture, pummel, double attack and frenzy for leveling until 200-210+ for any dps build.

Boss with lures
Pummel = with crush lure only works ( hammer with pummel is fine if someone has crush lure for boss
Giant Swing = Depend on your weap ( spear / axe = sword / hammer )

As usual
If dont have lure, and if u dps with ur self
U will use Shatter ( armour decrease = 3 type of physical resist decrease )
So maybe resist for pummel or giant swing will be same
End up its depend on your gear and cd for pummel and giant swing

Tip : id use swing if u have over dmg then pummel on stat
Since lvled 1 gs has same dmg with stat dmg
So if u pop exq or perfected dmg food, u will get massive dmg with giant swing
On the other hand, pummel is related with str stat and melee combat
Also it doesnt increase dmg as soon as ur dmg increasing
