• Partly

  Spearing Strike: (New 16-point gold medal talent.) An instant attack for 15 Rage with a 20 second cooldown. Deals a percentage of weapon damage to target and dismounts them. If the target was mounted, a Dragon, or a Giant, damage is doubled.

  The files Arms row 4 (15 points spent), 15 Rage and a 20 sec cooldown match (spell 1310222). The tooltip says 40% weapon damage plus 80% more against Giants, Dragonkin and mounted targets (triple, not double), and the spell has no dismount effect.
