What are pros and cons of each and which would generally be better to invest time in learning?

    A Stance - more damage.
    D Stance - harder for you to die and you get faster due to animation cancel with block.
    D Stance does fairly better now in small scale fights (1v1/3's basically) while A Stance may be more useful in mass PvP..thats what ppl say at least, but either way you wont do much in mass PvP besides trying to make healer's life hard so D Stance would still be better.
    Also; ping is more relevant in A Stance.

    If you want deeper explanations on it and ppl to show you how it works; find a good D Stance Warrior in your server if you can and ask them to teach you.
    D Stance is a bit harder/trickier i guess but once you get used to block canceling right it should be easier and it will feel better than A Stance.
