Help with WAR

With Fracture be careful it "CAN" be a dps increas but only if the WAR has something like "Berserk" running / "Trick Attack" on the Boss etc. and u cannot fit in another Fell Cleave in that particular window. If you have to decide between "Fracture" or "Fell Cleave" of course you pick "Fell Cleave" caus the overall potency is way higher.

Fracture is always a DPS increase as long as it ticks for the full duration, buffs or otherwise.

Isn't fracture total potency 300?

100 initial, 20 potency for 30 seconds = 10 ticks, so 100 + (20x10) = 100 + 200 = 300?

How is that better then a 500 Fell Cleave?

You're comparing it to 1 hit, not to the average gcd. a wars maximum avg gcd pre-buffs at maximum stack usage is (5*248{avg pot of 2 combos} + 500)/6 or 1740/6=290. In reality it's going to be lower than this on anything but dummy fights as you can't just use all your defensive cds for stack whenever they come off cd.
