Fury warrior damage (vet)

How come you changed your warrior over to "Arms"?
Was in the process of gearing my fury warrior and went to look at your gear and you were Arms spec -.- lol

Arms is more suited to my playstyle. But I enjoyed Fury for it's playstyle as well. To make an example; Fury warrior is like an arcane mage for melee. If no one tries to peel a fury warrior off of their target; that target will die. That or the healers can't keep up with my dot spread damage; everyone just melts away while I heal myself with Victory rush xD

I switched to Arms because of a theoretical situation that kept happening as fury; so I switched to arms to resolve the situation. I love playing AV but I constantly end up getting into 5+vs me and a healer. If the other team has a healer; I can't take on 5 people at once. However arms can. All I need to do is Rend spam a group of people, weapon switch for multiple crusader procs at once then Mortal strike into an execute just before the last tick from Rend goes off on one of the targets. I land most of my kills that way.

Arms can take survive a 5vs2 due to being able to peel their healer via roots/thunderclap while dealing heavy Dot damage. As long as I sit in defensive stance, keep dots up, weapon switch for higher up-time on crusader procs and peel for my healer; a battleground like AV is the holy grail. It's super fun.

As arms I feel like a god. As long as I have a pocket healer; I can run into a massive group; AoE Slow and kill everyone from dot spreading w/ weapon switch macros as long as I stay in Defensive stance and peel my pocket healer.

I'll probably still play fury warrior here and there; but I have too many classes that are similar to arcane mage playstyle. Playing a dot spread class as melee is a lot of fun.

One important point that isn't mentioned is the value of Wild Strike crits over non-crits. However, I do seem to think that going haste over crit may be superior partially due to increased rage generation for more Wild Strikes, Wild Strike procs, and possibly higher crusader uptime. I'm going to try to get the strike of the hydra weapons of which the proc may benefit from haste as well.

On a side note, does your twitch not have chat enabled? I checked it out once but didn't see a chat

So technically stacking as much haste as possible would be BiS?
to an extent of course. im not going to be sacrificing 8 str for 3 haste
