Shadowmourne; give us the option of a Sword!!

Much like the Runeblades from the Death Knight starter area, I think we should be given the option of whether we wish to forge Shadowmourne as an Axe, or as a Sword. I mean, we're crafting the thing out of a *Hammer*; it's not like a Sword is that far-fetched.

Now, before you go grabbing your pitchforks, I'm not saying that it needs to look like Frostmourne. Not that I would complain if it did (after all, the name alone implies it's made in the shadow of Frostmourne), but Blizzard has seemingly hundreds of fantastic Runeblade designs in their concept art; I'm sure they could come up with something.

The fact is, almost every weapon that Plate-DPS has used in this entire expansion has been two-handed Axes. Given that Shadowmourne in unquestionably a Runeblade, why not at least offer us the *option* of crafting it as a Sword instead? Besides; it's not like we Humans don't appreciate our Expertise racial, too :)

While it isn't legendary, the Lich King (25) does have a neat non-Frostmourne sword in his soon-to-be-pillaged-stash, so at least that's something right?


Oh, and Orcs rule.
