Introduction
My name is Dan, perhaps better known as Danwarr. I have been playing WoW since late Vanilla and Warrior specifically since Mists of Pandaria. I have raided with Method since Castle Nathria, always as DPS Warrior. This guide serves to help you learn how to play Fury Warrior during The War Within.
What has changed

The War Within Fury Warrior Changes
Fury Warrior is shaping up to be mostly the same for The War Within. The main change is mostly damage changes, specifically to Bloodthirst and Raging Blow. Bloodthirst has received large damage buffs in a push to make it the main rotational filler.
Outside of this, the Warrior and Fury talent trees have received some minor talent reshuffling.
