    New Warrior 2.1 Rotation

    So, with the Warrior skills changing round, Lets speculate on which rotation would be optimal.

    Abreviations/Terms:
    Start of Pull = Heavy Swing > Skull Sunder > Butchers Block (Not to be repeated in rotation)
    BB = Heavy Swing > Skull Sunder > Butchers Block
    SP = Heavy Swing > Maim > Storms Path
    SE = Heavy Swing > Maim > Storms Eye

    Tanking Rotations - For use with 1 Tank Primal Fights, Paladin OT Full Party, or 4-Man Content.
    Butchers Block Oriented - For Max Enmity, and Max Storms Path Heal, lesser Damage on Storms Eye.
    Start of Pull - BB - SE - BB - SP - Repeat.
    (Toss in Inner Beast after Storms Eye Of course, and when required With infuriate.)

    Storms Path Oriented - For Max Healing, and lower Enmity Generation.
    Start of Pull(x2) - SE - SP - SE - BB - Repeat
    This Rotation is to keep the De-Buff on Enemies perpetually (Granted, we don't know how long it lasts) and Keep Self-Healing, however Enmity will be lower sine it's not based on Butchers Block.

    Storms Eye Oriented - For Max Damage, Medium Enmity, and Lower Healing.
    Start of Pull(x2) - SE - BB - SE - SP - Repeat

    Off Tank rotation - (Generating 2nd on Threat is important for many different boss Mechanics. 2nd on Threat never gets Fire-Ball'd or Conflagged on Twintania for example. But you don't want to just Provoke, as you minimize your potential DPS output since you may Pull off the MT if you just use your Rotations.)

    Paladin MT - Once you establish 2nd on Threat:
    SE - SP - Repeat

    Warrior MT - Your MT can probably fore-go Storms Eye Entirely, and Focus on a simple BB - SP Repeat rotation. With interesting coordination, this actually gets very cool, as it allows the Warrior MT to focus more so on Heavy Enmity and getting that Self-Heal. (As little as it may be, the added 175-350 can help.)

    Straight Through with Butchers Block for some added Potency, Storms Eye never hits with it's own buff though.
    SE - SP - BB - Repeat

    Max Damage Output
    SE - BB - SE - SP Repeat

    Any comments, or differentiated thoughts on how to mix this up, or Speculations on viability of said proposed combos?
