I want to make a character that will make use of war axes, but the hack and slash perk set doesn't sound too good.

It says this from the link: "Bleeding damage seems to be a fixed amount over 3-7 seconds depending only on the weapon material, ranging from 3 total damage with rank 1 of this perk and an Iron weapon, to 18 with rank 3 of this perk and a Daedric weapon. Multiple bleeding effects stack(possibly only from different material weapons;needs testing)."
So this means I'd need rank 3 of the perk set and a daedric war axe just to do an extra 18 units of damage, huh? It isn't even 18 units of damage per second for 3-7 seconds, is it? I am thinking of just using steel axes, too. The perk sets for bladesman and bone crusher are definitely better.
Does anybody else have a warrior who uses axes? Has it worked well for you? Even if that perk set is lame, I figure I'd be fine with perks in one-handed (armsman), a fortify one-handed apparel, and the use of fortify one-handed potions (this character will have perks in alchemy).
