Fury Warrior
Dual-wield Bloodthirst with Flurry, Improved Whirlwind and Reckless Swings. The highest sustained warrior damage once hit is capped.
How Fury plays
Bloodthirst and Whirlwind on cooldown, Heroic Strike to dump Rage, Death Wish and Reckless Swings lined up with trinkets. Flurry keeps attack speed high so crit is the stat that snowballs.

Tips

Leveling as Fury
Still the hardest class to level alone: no self-heal beyond Victory Rush and Blood Craze, and gear-dependent damage. Forever helps with normalized Rage, Victory Rush at 20 and Reckless Swings. Level with a healer friend or in dungeons when you can; as a tank you never wait for a group.
