Well, first off thank you Curse/Diablofans for your constant support of the community, and always offering prizes, that are not mediocre, but Great!
After attending Blizzcon 2012 and trying the beta, I decided to run with a PvP/solo Build the main choice is due to the utility, and defensiveness. The spec is more of an endurance rather than a full on burst. The choices represent that pretty clearly.
1. For my Primary chose "Bash" w/ rune "Clobber" the reason is for me to get a semi-hard hit in on my enemy, and follow up with the stun, so my enemy doesn't go out of range of my melee.
2. For my Secondary chose "Hammer of the Ancients" w/ rune " The Devil's Anvil" a strong hit, with a nice slow on the enemy to prevent from fleeing my range to get the damage in when I need it most.
3. For my Defensive chose "Ground Stomp" w/rune "Deafening Crash"primarily for its superb utility, wether for me to get away for a quick heal or to get that finisher I need on the target.
4. For my Tactics chose "Ignore Pain" w/ rune "Mob Rule" An amazing talent for that quick defensive ability, without sacrificing uptime/damage on target. While also providing my allies with an identical buff.
5. For my Might chose "Furious Charge" w/ rune "Bull Rush" supplying me with a nice charge, with damage, while having that extra chance for a stun is the icing on the cake.
6. For my Rage chose "Ancient Spear" w/ rune "Skrimish" for when my target is fleeing, I can essentially "Grip" them back to me while generating extra rage for a strong follow-up
Finally for passive skills the choices are clear, and resemble my entire spec and its unique choices, refreshing my abilites, while also supplying me with life, and generating rage for ultimate uptime, while providing me with a steady defensives, if needed.

First I'll walk the spec from top to bottom, and left to right, writing why I chose them.
