Stance shifting just means you lose rage and overpower generally isn’t worth it unless you are running with improved overpower from Arms. As far as charge is concerned, yes you lose that in Fury in return for easy access to Intercept. (Again, an Arms build can take Juggernaut which lets you charge in battle).

I will be interested to see how getting a few extra points from Cataclysm changes things up. I suspect that what would actually happen for Fury is that Fury warriors will happily grab Axe or Sword spec and just keep going as they had been before.

Crit is generally a good scaling stat for fury (although not scaling as well as strength now) but the big thing about flurry at low gear levels is that a) it increases your incoming rage which means managing the rotation better, more heroic strikes, faster executes etc and b) once you can reliably keep flurry up consistently, adding more crit is still good but doesn’t have quite such a big effect on rage.

In practice, most strength gear will have crit also so it won’t be such a big deal but I still think it’s worth noting that a bare minimum (whatever it may be) is important.

Strength is better than crit rating, point for point, at any reasonably attainable gear level for anyone who might have need of this guide, particularly after the change to Improved Berserker Stance.

Please, don’t gem/enchant crit.
