BiS gear doesn't matter since as you approach BiS gear THE TIER IS OVER.
What matters is the amount of gear you have once you start getting the first ~3+ heroic bosses down. And how classes are balanced at that point.
Remember, the RPPM trinket nerfs hurts many classes. Yes, feather will pretty much blow for us. But other classes are getting even more screwed. You'll probably never see an unholy DK in SoO as it currently stands.
So I expect warriors to be at least several spaces higher on the DPS list than current sims show them, and I'm ignoring BiS sims completely since they don't matter at this point. Without another raid tier BiS DPS is fairly moot as far as impact, only mattering for e-peen.
The other factor is how prevalent Arms will be. I've been gone for the past 5-6 weeks so I haven't done anything on the PTR, but if Arms stays as strong in AoE as it currently is, fury's DPS may not even really matter outside of a few fights. I may end up going Arms if I get a 2h reasonably quick into the tier, and only go back fury once the tier is over (Like I and others did in DS.)
So we really can't tell how well fury is going to do outside of some vague general idea that is probably not even close to accurate.
