Would there really be enough incentive in a new race alone to cause a substantially noticeable size of the playerbase (say 7-10%) to reroll?

I really hope not. Deathwing doesn't have very much to tie him into Northrend, and it would be a shame if they just put him out without getting him involved in the Emerald Nightmare.

If they feel that fury damage is low they should just up Bloodthirst to 60-75%. It's a little odd that whirlwind is doing better then our "main" attack.
