You can always take heavy armor optimization at level 6. Do you play with retraining? It could be good to change feat if you find a very good weapon other than a dwarven waraxe. +1 focus+1enchantement 1d10 +2 specialization+1 enchantement= avarage 8,5 You need a +4 enchanted longsword to do better.

But not all damage taken is physical. But unless you are dealing more than 20 damage per round, the 2 points of damage (10%) is better. Assuming you have a strength of 18 that's 5.5+4+1=10.5 damage per hit. Go with weapon specialization. But at higher levels that point of AC will be nice, so don't forget to get heavy armor optimization later. I'm assuming heavy armor optimization only gives 1 point of AC, right?
