PvP Fury Warrior?

As of a recent hotfix, fury warriors have been doing A LOT of damage. I'm just curious of the actual viability.
Before we get started, I'll give you a rundown of my gear. I haven't played my warrior since the end of 3.3.5, but I'm still rather good at the class.
I have full relentless with titan forged shoulders and wrathful gloves, full wrathful offsets, except for boots, which I can use either relentless or 264 saronite stompers. I have 2 of the 251 Ramaladni's Blade, both with Berserking on them, as of right now. I don't have much in the way of PvE mainset, I have some T9 from heroics, bad, I know. Anyway, my main questions are:
1. Is this even viable?
I did roughly 90% BGs and 10% arena this past season. I do a lot of solo play, or with one or two friends. I'm interested in rated battlegrounds, because the arena environment was never particularly enjoyable to me.
2. What stat should I reforge 'bad' stats for?
Mastery gives roughly 25% bonus to enrage-requiring effects, and enrages themselves, each point of mastery is about another 3% to the bonus. Crit is always nice, and I don't know if haste still sucks.
Mastery benefits the following:
Death Wish
Enrage
Enraged Regeneration
Raging Blow
It might benefit: (I haven't played my warrior, so I wouldn't know.)
Recklessness
Berserker Rage
3. What should I gem for?
I used to gem Armor Pen, and it'll all be crit when I return. Should I gem strength maybe?
4. Titan's Grip versus Single Minded Fury for PvP?
Should I go for two 1 handers, or get better 2 handers?
Also, here are a few links:

I need to save up honor for new gear too, I know.

Before the patch I pvp'd as arms. But now, I just go in PvE gear and spec. With decent gear though (mostly 264-277s). And it's insanely fun. If you have a healer friend who cares spamming you with heals while you play very aggresive, you will pump out A LOT of damage. Try to have a few macros (spell reflect/Shield wall/switch back to TG).
I pretty much two or three shot every other caster, but you will need a lot of heals and lockdown on enemies as I take 10-15k hits. But on days where the other team leaves me alone, I've gotten 35+ kills in WsG and 2 million damage+. So I would say fury is viable in PvE gear. I'm not so sure about PvP gear though. Don't think the damage / rage gain would be high enough, and you should at least NOT go for mastery. Go for haste and str instead.

Well, I'm pretty good at warriors in general, if I say so myself, so I'll have macros and such. I can probably roll 1000 or more resilience if I pick up more gear. I'm estimating 1500-2000 honor saved up when I hop on my warrior again, so I'll pick up a T1 sword for the free expertise racial.
Also, I was thinking mastery because I could probably stack about 7 points of mastery, which is an extra 21.8~% bonus to the enrage effects, on top of the base 25%.
So, 47% more effectivity to Death Wish, Enrage, Raging Blow, and Enraged Regeneration seems really strong for PvP. It makes Death Wish give almost a 30% damage boost, enrage gives 14.7% bonus damage, and enraged regeneration would restore almost 45% health. It seems really good for PvP burst and survivability, but okay. I'll consider your opinion.
I'm not looking for the pure 'Best DPS possible' just some fun with some staying power and burst.
My warrior's gs is roughly 5700 in PvP gear, but I think gs matters even less in PvP than it does in PvE, but hey, it's there. Thanks for the opinions guys, looking for more posts.
EDIT: Do weapon chains work? In the video I posted, the creator is using a weapon chain (apparently) and he gets dismantled for 10 seconds anyway.

i think you may want to avoid mastery for now... go with more hit... more hit is more rage gen for you....
in pve my hit is around 24%, while in pvp gear around 15%, not yet fully wrathful gear, but am getting there eventually...

Well, I've figured out what I'm going to do. I'm going to reforge all of my PvE gear for hit, and gem it for hit as well. I also have that passive from fury for 3% hit, then I have a 245 trinket with hit that I can also throw in, for even more hit. Then, on the PvE gear, I'll reforge for mastery, and gem strength, and I think that will give me a good balance.

the mark of supremacy and herkumi war token are good trinkets for you, if you don't already have that death's choice, DBW or whispering fanged skull in your arsenal...
i think with enough 264 gear on you, you won't really need to gem for hit now... gem all STR for more damage output....
mastery for fury is not really good for now, with so much stats reforged into HIT....
maybe come CATA, and leveling to 85, with better gears....
so for now, fury warriors stay away from mastery....

Mastery is a very good stat for fury. At least in a PvP scenario. It increases the power of enraged regen as a defensive cooldown, which is actually making me consider skipping 2/3 incite for Field Dressing. It also improves Raging Blow, Death Wish, and Enrage, which helps out with burst damage by A LOT. So, I think I've come up with my plan. In PvE, get the hard hit cap of 27%, in PvP reforge to mastery, get a fair amount of hit, and gem strength. I'm currently stuck with crit gems, for a while, but that shouldn't be too bad. (I wish Blizzard converted the red gems into the uncut version, and stuck them in our inventory or something.)
Thanks for the responses guys.
