In the log below, you can see a lion vs pole spec fight. As you can see, the lion did hit the polespec quite a bit. (Although the lion was a scion with ABS, so he could take quite a beating too..)

Also, unless the warrior is blind or you have someone else tanking, just forget about fumble. Swipe, on the other hand, is generally a good idea vs pole/spear specs.
