My warrior is 44 right now, and at 43 I switched from the cookie cutter 31/20 to try out a fury build. Man, that's the best 5g (respec cost) I've ever spent. I enjoy the hell out of the fury build. I'm slightly different from Laserth, in that I'm using dual wield...well, because I don't have a great 2hander available (went poor after respecing, then abilities). I've seen my one hander(Furious Falchion of the Tiger) out damaging my last 2h weapon (Khoo's Point) which I was using with the arms build. With Enrage, I've had HS crits for almost 700. That's nearly 100 damage above a crit from Khoo's Point.

I love the fury build, and I'm not going back. The only thing I'd change, is getting a slow 2hander over dual wield, or even a fast, high DPS 2 hander. The 25% BASE miss chance for dual wield is counter productive. Flurry increases the speed of the next 3 swings. So even if it misses, it still uses up the Flurry. Not to mention if your off hand is much faster than your main hand, then 2 or 3 of those fast swings goes to the much weaker weapon. And bloodthirst....you'd better hope the first hit is from your main hand, cause it goes wasted when used up by your off.

When luck is on your side though, dual wield loves you. I've taken down an even level mob taking less than 100 damage. I kid you not. Bloodthirst on the first hit, crits kept flurry up the entire time, and almost every swing was a hit. The poor wolf didn't know what hit him.

I'm going to do more testing with a 2 hander (fast and slow), and maybe try dual wield out more, if I can find some nice 1 handers with +% crit and +% to hit. There's a lot of potential in Fury, and like Lasereth said, it's going to receive a buff pretty soon here.

P.S. Thanks Lasereth! You posted earlier in this thread about how you were enjoying a fury build. When I had finally picked up enough cash for a respec after buying my mount, I remembered it and had to try it out.
