Get enough hit to not miss specials and have reliable rage generation for your DPS rotation.
Get capped on expertise.
Get enough crit to reliably proc flurry, deep wounds, rampage and Mirror of Truth.
Then stack str (atp) till your eyes bleed. If haste or armor pen comes, that's frosting on the cake.
You can never have too much attack power as Fury.

This thread was meant as a primer, not a Bible. it's to answer commonly asked questions on these forums. Some may already know this stuff and so this thread will look silly.
Others don't and hopefully it's a benefit to them as well as a reason for them not to fill up the forums with questions asked over and over again.

We all know Armory is bugged and shows people in Battle stance.
Armory doesn't reflect procs such as Bezerking, Mirror, FFF, Greatness, etc.
Use consumables. Better killing through chemistry, '
Heroic Strike and Whirlwind are your best glyphs. The third slot is debatable.
Some leather pieces are better than plate.
Yes, Bezerking is that good and you need it.
T7.5 2-set bonus is good 4-piece bonus is ok.
Don't gem more than 1 socket for hit.
Replace the green-quality gems right now. Warriors are gear dependent and that means getting the best enchants and gems you can have. Don't be lazy. Do a handful of dailies and bam!, you're good.
Vigilance is your friend.
Remember when you bugged paladins for buffs? Asking for Salv still works.
If you're not doing battle shout, you should be doing Commanding Shout.
---------
Sunder and demo may not be sexy but do it if if no one else can. Don't expect a lazy ass rogue to expose armor. Plus, it's not hard to sunder and keep a rotation going.
Mirror of Truth should be your first DPS badge purchase.
Hodir rep grind is a pita but worth it in the end.
You can not DW polearms because Blizz didn't want to create swing animations for every race and sex for 1 build in 1 class' tree. Also, let the druids and hunters have them and keep the swords and axes to us.
Imp cleave is not good unless doing Sarth+3. Topping meters on trash means little.
Do not link WWS reports of sub 12k DPS on Thaddius as an example of your leetness.
Bloodsurge add-ons?
EventAlert.
MSBT += Mik's Scrolling Battle text.
EBB= Elkano's Buff bars.
Power Auras.
ClassTimer.

Mobs can dodge from behind, which is why expertise is such a valued stat.
Haste is like a hooker. It's good if it comes to you for free (in this case, from gear). But don't go out of your way looking for it. And never pay for it (gem/enchant for it).
Missing whites is ok, if you are missing yellows, them you are in the VoA and need to GET OUT OF THE BLOODY CLOUD THAT DECREASES HIT!

No one cares if you have 2 Betrayers of Humanity. It means you are lucky not good.
Death's Bite is a very good axe but there is no way it is better than a BoH.
The Jawbone, on of the other hand, is a very good 2hander, even better than DB in some cases.
You may need to tank or OT at some time. Work on the tank gear as you can. It just makes you more valuable.
