Green Wrath = Envy?

Yesterday, we explored the Purple Judgement non-set, so it only seems fair that we continue our exploration of re-skinned Tier 2 goodness, as not all of you play paladins (why not?) at the present time.
Today we take a look at the reskinned level 70 version of the warrior's Cylon Wrath set. I was always impressed with the look of this set, with the bladed shoulders, and the mohawk-blade helm. I'm not sure which I like more, the original purple, or this new green version.
How do you warriors feel that your sets (and non-sets) are focused on tanking rather than on arms or fury builds? Can you live without a good-looking coherent set of armor pieces?
If you are looking to tank, here are the non-set pieces that visually form a green Wrath set (which I like to call "Envy") and where you'll find them:
Greathelm of the Unbreakable
Drops From: Grand Warlock Nethekurse in the Shattered Halls
Fanblade Pauldrons
Drops From: Shirrak the Dead Watcher in Auchenai Crypts (HEROIC)
Jade-Skull Breastplate
Drops From: Nethermancer Sepethrea in The Mechanar
Vambraces of Daring
Drops From: Nazan/Vazruden reward box in Hellfire Ramparts (HEROIC)
Thatia's Self-Correcting Gauntlets
Drops From: Dalliah the Doomsayer in The Arcatraz
Girdle of the Immovable
Drops From: Quagmirran in the Slave Pens (HEROIC)
Greaves of the Shatterer
Drops From: Warchief Kargath Bladefist in the Shattered Halls
Boots of the Colossus
Drops From: Pandemonius in Mana-Tombs (HEROIC)
The total set bonuses come to:
Armor: 6670
Strength: 180
Stamina: 278
Defense: 166
Parry: 15
Shield Block: 97
That's a pretty impressive warrior set, IMHO. Add in some jewel sockets for some extra goodness, and you may have a pretty decent tanking set on your hands. Warriors, what do you think? How does this stack up against the 5-piece Bold set?

A majority of the Green Wrath non-set sucks IMO, I use 3 pieces of it (Bracers, gloves, chest) ...however, it's better than Bold. The Bold set bonuses SUCK. For anything.
The shoulders are great though, but I don't like the rest of Bold or the wrath, I prefer my original T2 to it.

I currently have 7/8 green wrath, although I only use a couple pieces. It's a solid all-around tanking set for 5-mans but tends to waste a lot of stat points on strength instead of avoidance or stam. Good for 5-mans, not quite as good for heroics and raiding. I'm going to pick up the boots though eventually because I never had purple wrath :)

One comment. I think the helmet looks like that of the Clone Commandos from Star Wars: Republic Commando.

I've been very impressed with the evolution of warrior armor sets. After the cluster that was tier 2/wrath (why do I look like a purple can opener) the set designers got much better with looks. Dreadnaught is awesome, and tier 4 is quite spiffy looking as well, though I could pass on tier 5.
HOWEVER, what ever numbskull design jockey who thought it would be a good idea to use the banana shoulders paladin tier 1, recolored to look even more ridiculous no less, needs to be taken out back and horsewhipped with a length of chain dipped in lemon juice and rolled in broken glass.
Imo.

Been running SH over and over for the helm for my tankadin. Love the shoulders and helm, so smexy. All I keep getting off the first boss is the idol though.
