Sweeping strikes in arena

[Havok]

We play warrior\pala and sometimes have alot of problems vs sertan lock\hunter + healer teams. Scorpions and fellhounds can be a big problem but when geting healed they are hard to take down fast enough. So I thought that it might be a good idea to use sweeping strikes to take down the pet fast. So the quiestion is: Will this be viable:

charge -> build 55ish rage
Sweeking strikes -> zerker stance ->bloodrage. I bring the pet colse.
Cleave + wirlwind for 4 strikes on pet and player.

Is this posible? Or is there a beter way to use SS in arenas?

SS is pretty powerful in all brackets when used right, especially since I'm assuming you have TM, its pretty easy to keep up between MS/WW. I pop SS before the door opens and then mount (I don't have TM), at that point I can usually get 2-3 of the SS shots in to whatever might be in melee range. If its a hunter or lock I charge, I always hit challenging shout to make sure the pet stays on me and not my healer. Bad teams either don't heal the pet or let the pet get oolos, and the pet dies. Sweeping strikes also help split the dps so that you can get enough burst (say an autoattack SS cleave, WW, then MS/execute to the pet for about ~4-6k usually enough to kill it). I also believe SS will hit stealthied targets but will probably get nerfed, but its not a bad way to pull a rogue out of stealth.
