What spec do you use? I haven't tried a pure 2hand fury build but I do like imp slam on a 33-28 or 31-30 build (cookie cutter, yes, but also effective).
Pre-xpac, I was 2hand Fury for quite a long using Ashkandi. Come xpac, I leveled up as DW fury with points in Prot for instances.
Now, I've tried DW and 2hand builds, and I'm enjoying using a 2hander (Mooncleaver) when I'm not specced Protection.
The main reasons I've gone with the cookie cutter build are
a) I tend to get lots of Overpowers and hate losing rage switching stances.
b) In battle stance, I can keep imp Thunderclap up on the MT's target, offering some additional benefits besides shouts.
c) With Blood Frenzy, I can do the same for other melee folks.
I do keep imp Slam (I feel naked without it these days) and however many points I can in Flurry.
This build gives the same functionality as 2hand fury, offers some extra benefits and still puts out a large degree of damage.
For cycles, if I can get a charge in, I usually open with a Slam (IceHud casting bar helps with the timing), thunderclap, Heroic Strike, Mortal Strike, switch to zerker, slam again, Whirlwind (if no CC'd mobs around, HS-MS.
If a mob is near 30% hp, I'll do a couple of slams and it's usually time for execute by then.
Oh, and I have Mongoose on my axe and already have good crit and attack power the extra haste helps and can be boosted even more by my Abacus of Violent Odds.
So, it seems as the mechanics and cycles are very similar, just wondering how Bloodthirst compares as a special against Mortal Strike at that point.
