Total newb at this game and thinking to play with Mercenary, my race will be Half Ogre (I really like how they look and can't imagine playing other race). I would like to know optional build for an Half Ogre Mercenary if its possible. Have to say not a fan of hammers or any kind of blunt weapons with all other weapons I'm fine (dual wield, shield, 2hander, 1hander, spear and etc.).

Well. Cookie cutter is 50 dual wield, 42 shield, weapon + SC + RR @52, left overs in parry. Pick whichever weapon type you like (don't like hammers? go slash (axes & swords) or thrust (stilletos)).
Half ogres are fine with either dmg type as they are either str based (crush/slash) or str/dex (50% each; thrust). Dual wield is based on your weapon choice.
Shield is used for slam (42 shield style) and defence (if needed, e.g. when blocking for a groupmate).
Hope you went 10 Str/Con/Qui which is (imho) the best pick for merc and arms.
Get used to the possibility of having to level solo a lot as pve groups are mostly heal/buff + pet pull class + pbae-/aoe-classes.

Remember that you get free respecs from your trainer while leveling, so keep a shield around and respec to guard-bot if you find a group that necessitates it.
As for PvP,
BGs:
DW - Maxed
Crush - spec+items+rr at or slightly above your level
Parry - leftovers
Crush is by far the best weapon spec on lower levels for the level 15 six second stun. Get this ASAP.
