First up Fury this was actualy written by Wrenage over on the new comminty forums but I'd post it here as fury isnt my speciality.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Hit and Expertise

With Hit we have 2 sets of numbers to be aware of.

* 8.0% (246 Rating)
This allows all our Specials (yellow's) to hit.

As Fury we need to gather 5.0% (154 Rating) on top of our passive 3% from Precision to reach this cap.

* 27% (830 Rating)
This allows all our normal melee (white) swings to hit.

As Fury we need to gather 24.0% (738 Rating) on top of our passive 3% from Precision to reach this cap.

The second and third glyphs in both the Major and Minor categories are a matter of personal choice.

Bloodthirst / Raging Blow (when Cleave, WW are on CD and Rage allows)

Execute (when target is at <20% Health use to 5 stacks then back to normal rotation)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fury is normally said to be the easiest warrior dps spec to play with a basic /faceroll style play, and good burst damage. But with duel wield and the need to be enraged for RB to work well, I see it as need more gear dependant to get the most out of it.

Especially with +hit and +mastery gear been the major so them white hits and enrage procing abilites don't go to waste. Overall I suggest new warriors play fury as its alot dam sight easier to master then arm's. With good gear, a well rounded spec and talent at playing the class Fury is a killer spec, but not my personall preferance at this moment.

I'd like to see how single minded fury stacks up at end game 85 which might include some experimenting.

And thats it for fury, arms coming tomorrow, then if I feel like it prot aswell:P

Yeah 'single minded' apparently doesn't have the numbers that you get by using two handers!

We look at the spec and rotation for an Fury Warrior, and analyze the testing results via Recount. All testing is done against a raid boss dummy with no buffs besides basic class abilities. Gear is level 333 premade junk.

Fury is a nice, simple rotation involving mashing 4 keys while occasionally hitting a cooldown or three. You have the option of dual wielding 1 handers (Single Minded Fury) or 2 handers (Titan's Grip). Right now, TG is stronger, but they should be balanced in the future (hopefully).

Fury is great when you are first learning an encounter and want to concentrate on boss mechanics rather than your own rotation. If the simplicity bores you, Arms is much more technical in nature.
