WAR Raid Advice

There is technically a more efficient way to use Infuriate and IR than to hold it for Berserk but it's so late in the expansion that I don't care enough to actually min max to this degree.

The idea's solid but sounds like it revolves around a lot of hoping and wishing the stars allign for you to have enough stacks when infuriate comes off CD for a double fell cleave. It's much more practical to just hold infuriate with berserk.

Like I said, "this really depends on whether or not the fight actually has a ~104s window where you can plan out each GCD so precisely and execute."

As for GCD alignment, you have some room for adjustment by adding and removing fractures from your rotation or using Vengeance to push a stack if you don't need it for mitigation. I'm fairly sure you can engineer an optimal rotation around the idea of using Infuriate off CD. It's just a lot of work for a small gain.

The only time you use infuriate outside of berserk is when you want to aoe down adds like in a9s or a12s, in other cases its just a straight up dps loss. As for OP, save 4-5 stacks when your berserk is coming off cooldown, then use it after Heavy Swing and make your triple fell cleave dream come true, pacification should not concern you at all. Obviously sometimes you want to delay your berserk if the boss will dissapear soon, but i guess you can figure it out yourself.

This is just wrong. You use Infuriate outside of Berserk whenever it's more efficient. Like I already detailed, you only need to delay your Berserk slightly for it to be better. In some fights, a slight delay of Berserk will not matter or is even forced / more efficient because of phasing. But, like I also already explained, if you're going to do it, you really need to know what you are doing or else it might not work out.
