I love my Warrior alt, but I don't follow the high-end number-jockeying aspect of WoW so I'm ignorant of what class is "best" for what at the top-end, etc. etc. So this came up in a Hunter discussion:
Is this really that big a deal? I ask because I don't have the high-end experience to safely argue based on personal experience. However, on my Fury I find I perform pretty competitively even when I don't get an indulgent Execute phase as long as I properly manage all the right stuff (Rage, CDs, proc-banking, etc. with responsible CSmash windows).
I'm aware things can change sharply in the higher levels and Heroic-progression scene, though, and I don't want to be ignorant in my replies. So, is this true? Do Warriors on competitive content suffer pre-20 because of their Execute damage?
