Why it works
This is a two-handed Fury setup because the provided main-hand list is all two-handers, and Might of Menethil is the strongest physical weapon available here. Arms supplies Deep Wounds and Impale, turning crits from Bloodthirst, Whirlwind, Execute, and Heroic Strike into much harder hits; Fury supplies Cruelty, Improved Battle Shout, Death Wish, Flurry, Improved Execute, and Bloodthirst.
The gear is tuned to land exactly 9% hit against raid bosses: Lionheart Helm 2%, Plated Abomination Ribcage 1%, Gauntlets of Annihilation 1%, Girdle of the Mentor 1%, Band of Unnatural Forces 1%, Drake Fang Talisman 2%, and Kiss of the Spider 1%. After that, the remaining slots favor crit, strength, agility, and attack power: Stormrage’s Talisman, Shroud of Dominion, Legplates of Carnage, and Nerubian Slavemaker are all high-output raid pieces. Wormhide Boots and Mantle of Wicked Revenge beat many plate options offensively because armor is not the priority for a DPS slot.
Play in Berserker Stance. Open with Charge when possible, swap stance, keep Battle Shout up, and apply Sunder Armor only if the target is missing it or your group needs you to help stack it. Use Death Wish for boss burn windows, Bloodthirst on cooldown, Whirlwind on cooldown, Execute below 20%, Cleave on 3+ enemies, and Heroic Strike only when rage is high so you do not starve Bloodthirst or Whirlwind.
