Original Post:

Super long time reader, first time poster so please be gentle.

I'm going to make this short errr, maybe long and sweet. I'm stupid. I make every attempt possible to read some of these threads and posts by people but numbers are not my cup of tea. I do understand hit, expertise, rotations to a certain degree but maybe I'm just the average player. I started out playing as a tank ages ago, switched to a holy pally and now I'm back with a DPS warrior. I'd like some critique.

First and foremost:
The World of Warcraft Armory

Now, the talents I assume that will be in question are likely tier 2 and 3 of fury. We always have a kings pally and a imp might pally, therefore never have to Battleshout. Hopefully this is correct. I'll likely drop the 1 point in Piercing Howl and putting an extra into Unbridled Wraith just for the extra rage.

My rotation. I always prioritize Bloodthirst over everything followed by Whirlwind, then slam (if I have a Bloodsurge proc) and finally, heroic strike if I'm about 60 rage and everything else is on cd. Is this correct? I know with the upcoming changes to Bloodsurge, I assume we're always going to be slamming when it's up so we're not losing Bloodsurge procs from overrides.

Hit and expertise. Trying to find a solid answer on this has been rather frustrating but after a little bit of testing and reading the right posts, it seems as if the imaginary goal we're aiming for would be:

4.5% expertise (with full talent)
9% hit (with full talent)

Now, it's my understanding that whites cap around 22% which obviously isn't something we want to aim for, but anything over 9% is not "bad". And then there is this new idea of 8% being the new cap for yellows. Bug or intended?

As far as gems/upgrades. I'm setting a my priority for stats like this:
Hit>Expertise> and once Inscribed Monarchs are in game, likely balancing out str/crit/haste. Is that a good plan or should I prioritize one of the 3?

I know meters aren't the all in all of Warcraft but obviously putting out high dps to make encounters easier for healers and tanks is the goal at hand for me. I just want to try to get the most from my character.

Thanks for your time and I welcome any suggestions to help improve my game.
