O.o Umm....doesn't EVERYONE have to rely on druids, shammies, and rangers for SoW? Heck, don't low-level rangers need to rely on others for SoW? Be thankful that a 'zerker has the ability to kite at all...rogues, monks, and warriors have such limited range capability that kiting with them is a joke.
As far as the Vah Shir axe (can't comment on the dorf or barb one)...those carapaces CAN actually be obtained in the newbie zone, rather than Hollowshade. They're a rare drop off the beetles there, but they DO drop them.
Haven't actually gotten mine yet, because I have too many alts as well as my main, so I can't speak for the stats or effectiveness of the axe. Of course, there are so many 2h weapons in the bazaar that are of reasonable price, I'm not sure I'm going to bother getting that one anyway. (And no...I'm not twinking my 'zerker...she's selling lots of shadeling silk and hopper hides to buy the stuff she hasn't quested)
