Protection is better than Fury for leveling

So I would never have thought that Protection spec is better than Fury for leveling. Last night, I did the elite quests in Zangramarsh solo as a Prot warrior - Boglash and the leaders of the Naga wanted posters. With Last Stand, Shield Wall, and Shield Block and other spells in Protection I was able to complete all the quests to upgrade my gear in Zangramarsh.

After getting the helm with 3 sockets and the belt with 2 sockets, I logged onto my bank and got some cheap Northrend gems. This made my slams and Heroic Strike hit harder. I switched back to Fury spec and went back to HFP to finish some easy quests. First off, my damage was worse and I took alot more damage. I quickly went back to Prot and completed the quest faster. I am thinking about giving Arms another shot. I should hit harder and my gear won't need some much +hit.

I definitely need to look into some macros to make it easier. Get a land mount and a flying mount macro, a charge macro from all stances and some other macros. This WoW Forum should definitely help with that.
