    Best cross class abilities for a Warrior?

    I've been running with Flash, Provoke, Featherfoot, Convalescence and Second Wind.

    Are these what most Warrior's use? I've heard some say Internal Release, but with it's nerf and with the new enmity modifiers, it seems like a waste. I guess Flash could be seen as a waste as well due to OP being even better now, but I like it because it's our only MP skill and it can be used while pacified. My Paladin is level 29 right now, and I plan to replace Second Wind with Awareness, for sure, since reducing the chance of being critically hit seems much better than a small 400 or so self heal.

    So, Provoke, Featherfoot, Convalescence and Awareness? Are those the 4 that should be in every Warrior's arsenal? If so, is there a 5th, or is it basically personal preference over Flash or Internal Release?

    BTW, before someone posts that awareness is awful, I heard from players in game that the Awareness heal bug was fixed.

    I usually have Flash, Provoke, Convalescence, Featherfoot and Second Wind for dungeons. Replace Flash with Internal Release for bosses. Awareness has a bug that prevents heal on you from critting which is pretty bad considering my Coil healer is a Scholar speccing crit and determination. Second Wind is nice since I specced into Strength and plan to have some crafted accessories soon. Right now my Second Wind is about 650.

    Provoke, Convalescence, Awareness, Internal Release, and Flash is what I use.

    Featherfoot is ok in 4 mans but useless in raids, the boss will always hit you.

    Flash helps conserve TP.

    IMHO the heal from Second Wind is garbage.

    Use with berserk and it can crit up to 1k. Better while wearing crafted acc with additional STR.

    Amazing? No, but it's ok. And how much damage is something like Awareness going to prevent? It's somewhat useful (if the bug is indeed fixed) for small packs when you've got a lot of in coming auto-attacks. But my understanding is that all big attacks (like titan's table flip) can't crit, so it's much less effective vs. a boss since you've only got 1 incoming source of auto-attacks to worry about.

    Internal Release isn't all that special after the nerf, either.

    Awareness is a pretty bad cooldown.
    It is generally not worth taking up.
    Internal release is nice, though it wasn't amazing either.
    Second wind fits nicely.

    I think IR is slightly better for WAR since wrath stacks also increase crit%, but after nerf? Meh. I got pretty much the same set up, except I don't have provoke yet (bad tank, bad!) but will tonight. Which means I've got to decide whether to replace second wind or IR. I have SW macro'd with Thrill of Battle for a little extra bump, but it's not much of a heal outside of that. Probably replace IR, not sure yet, though.

    Patch notes.

    The following issues have been addressed.
    ...
    "An issue wherein the gladiator action "Awareness" was nullifying critical heals."

    (Note that it's STILL the worst "mitigation" cooldown PLDs have available, but at least it's actually occasionally worth casting now)

    For the OP: Flash/Provoke/Featherfoot/Convalescence are definitely the "usuals", with Second Wind/Mantra/Internal Release/Haymaker as-needed.
    TBH I'd usually just stick with Internal Release unless you think Mantra is going to make/break a raid for some reason...

    Our cross class abilities are generally pretty bad, aside from Flash and Provoke. None of them make a terribly big difference to your tanking performance, so just pick whatever sounds good to you.
