Why it works
This is a 31 Fury / 20 Arms two-hander setup. Fury supplies the core raid engine: Cruelty, Unbridled Wrath for two-handed rage flow, Precision for hit reliability, Death Wish, Flurry, and Bloodthirst. The Arms points add Deep Wounds, Impale, and Two-Handed Weapon Specialization, all of which scale well with a slow high-DPS weapon.
The gear is built around Dark Edge of Insanity from C’Thun: its 86.6 DPS and Strength/Agility package beat the PvP two-handers for sustained damage. Lionheart Helm, Gauntlets of Annihilation, Belt of Never-ending Agony, Band of Unnatural Forces, and Kiss of the Spider push you to and slightly past the yellow-hit cap once Precision is counted; the small overcap is acceptable because the pieces are still excellent on raw crit, AP, and cooldown value. Slayer’s Crest plus Kiss gives strong stacked burn windows with Death Wish. Leather pieces like Mantle of Wicked Revenge, Timbermaw Tunic, Hive Defiler Wristguards, and Wormhide Boots are chosen because their offensive stats beat plate mitigation for a DPS role.
Keep Valor of Azeroth and Battle Shout active, fight in Berserker Stance, and use Death Wish early enough to get full uptime during boss damage windows. Under 20%, Recklessness into Execute is your finisher plan. Use Berserker Rage to enable Raging Blow windows; otherwise prioritize Raging Blow, Bloodthirst, and Whirlwind. In 3+ target dungeon pulls, Cleave becomes your rage dump; on single targets, only queue Heroic Strike when rage is high so you do not starve Bloodthirst or Whirlwind.
