Opener

Priority

  • Keep Rend on the target at all times.
  • Use Mortal Strike on cooldown.
  • Use Execute when available (especially in execute phase), without delaying Mortal Strike.
  • Use Overpower whenever it procs.
  • Use Slam as filler.
  • Use Heroic Strike only as a rage dump at high rage.

AoE

Armor utility if needed

  • If your raid has no Warrior tank keeping stacks, help maintain 5 stacks of Sunder Armor (only if assigned / needed).
