For PVE. slash (using +77 AT pts) or crush?

I'm thinking about pulling my pally out of rvr for a bit to concentrate on farming so i can buy whatever the latest overpowered and overpriced item happens to be. Im curious if i should blow some respec stones (would cost me a total of 4 stones, 2ra and 2 skill to respec and respec back to rvr setup after) to try out crush for high end pve. thats 6-8 plat on a whim. so unless it makes farming 40+p in loot easier its probably not worth doing.

atm im MoBlock 4 MoParry 2. with full pve RAs I could do MoBlock 5 MoParry 3. With 50 shield and 17 parry (gonna lose some parry going crush over slash) that would bring me pretty darn close to cap on both parry and block.

Crush compared to Slash:
+ parry reactionary. this is the main reason ive been considering it. as my parry rate goes up, riposte (slash block reactionary) is less and less useful. downside is i wont be able to spec for the follow up style.
+/- block reactionary has a high bonus to hit but also has a low defensive penalty. again I wont be able to spec for the followup style.
+ bludgeon (crush taunt) has a medium bonus to hit vs no bonus for enrage (slash taunt). It also uses low endurance vs medium for slash. When spamming taunt in PvE, this is another case that I am thinking crush will pay off.
- regular anytime (maul or bludgeon) have defensive penalties and less to-hit bonus than ammy slash.
+ tons of cool twohanders to choose from if I get the chance to break out the twohander. all for about 100g a piece because they are mostly salvage loot even when mp.

Probably wont be solo. but I always say that and then get it into my mind that I might be able to take on something insanely high solo. But I expect a lot of 2-5 man raiding.
