Having recently leveled two Warriors, I can tell you with certainty that Arms is much easier to level than Fury, for two reasons.

First, as mentioned, Arms has substantial amounts of burst damage, and between Mortal Strike, Rend, Overpower and Execute, you can burn down even tough enemies in a short amount of time.

Second, Fury has issues with rage-generation, especially if you're not wearing any gear with Hit on it. While you do gain Rage from taking damage, there will still be several times when you're starved for Rage and flat-out can't do anything to speed up the fight; dual-wielding just doesn't have the accuracy needed for consistent Rage generation. Arms has the complete opposite; with Charge and the relatively cheap Rage costs of Arms' primary attacks, you'll have practically infinite Rage to work with. Couple this with Sweeping Strikes and later Blood and Thunder for dealing with multiple targets, and Arms can do everything Fury can do and then some.
