Just as a note to those people levelling warriors, that slam is freaking awesome.

I just hit 35, having switched to 2-h slam DPS as soon as I hit 30, and guh-damn, is the playstyle ever fun and fast.

I did the standard DW fury from 20 until 30, and it was ok, but typically boring and slow.

At 30, I put my first point into Imp Slam, and had my wife's paladin quickly run me through the Whirlwind Axe quest at 30. I slapped a Crusader enchant on it, re-installed Quartz and started trying out slam.

It's pretty freaking awesome.

Primarily it's awesome becuase you've finally got an active skill that you can use your rage for that isn't called "Hamstring", and it doesn't eat your auto-attack, so rage is a lot more available. Levelling to 30 was awful, if only becuase warrior is so boring and incomplete without active skills.

Admittedly, I hadn't enchanted any of my gear (other than some white cloth boots with runspeed on them) prior to 30, so the sudden acquisition of what essentially amounts to an epic axe (at 30) with Crusader on it had no small effect on levelling, but I definitely got more enjoyment out of actually having something to do (time your slams and your swing timer) than I did with seeing Massive Slam Crits(TM) although that certainly helped.

To add to all that, my wife is levelling a elemental shaman along with me, and the addition of Windfury Totem at 32 just solidified the whole affair.

-I'm not sure Darwin accounted for this...
