As far as I'm aware the Gargoyle will currently last no longer than 30 seconds, and that there is a tooltip error. I could be mistaken though.

You might get one extra white swing during a Bladestorm with Heroism up depending on the timing. I wouldn't say it's so significant as to actively avoid using it during this period.

I'd be curious how long your test was if Heroic Throw was a statistically significant source of damage. Assuming your HT crit for around 3k, that means you only did a test of around 300k damage (or...

Can you do a race's valiant dailies indefinitely if you don't turn the 25 valiant seal quest in? They seem to be a decent source of rep (1k per day) if that's the case.

Doesn't OP come after SD since the 3.1 change to TfB? Since you don't have to worry about wasting OP procs from successive rend ticks, or ticks from multiple rends?

So at 10 rage it's better to waste an entire GCD rather than use a 10 rage execute? I have a hard time believing that's the case, but I'm not an expert.

It's helpful if you think of a swing as a random roll from 1-100 (this is a very simplistic example). 1-30 will be crits, 70-100 will be hits. Say you hit for 500, crit for 1000. The expected...

Considering as Arms you only tend to HS when you're trying to dump rage extra hard, I'm not sure the HS glyph is necessary. Kind of wasteful, actually, when you consider what your other options are.
