Also your post is a bit misleading with the ideas I posted.

War and Drk damage is tuned assuming you have Darkside and Maim up at all times, turning Maim in to a passive leaves Warrior's dps basically the same, it's just a small quality of life change. Putting Stormx2 and adjusting the potencies (you're right, the potency would be too high but that can always be changed) accordingly would let them apply their debuffs in a row while keeping their damage the same, it's once again a QoL change. As far as tying unchained in to Berserk, like I said, I kind of like the idea, but I'm not sold on it.

As far as Drk goes, putting scourge on Power Slash was just the first idea that came to mind and once again, it wouldn't be a buff. It would still be the same dps since you would only use the combo every 24~ seconds to maintain the DoT effect. Saying the permanent +15% damage is a buff is also misleading, you should be keeping Darkside up 100% of the time you're in combat, Drk should ALWAYS have the +15% damage. That being said, Darkside needed something to make it more interesting, folding Blood Weapon in to it is the best bet in my opinion.

I've also been an advocate for ditching the tank stances entirely for Drk/Pld and making stances more meaningful for warrior than they are now since I rarely ever see warriors using Defiance anyway and spending 99% of their time in Deliverance, but I digress. I definitely would want to see pld buffed up to have it's dps increased, but for the life of me I don't know what. Besides the question was what abilities we want to see removed, not what buffs or new abilities we want to see. For all we know if they did make those changes they could give Pld some crazy dps moves to bring it up to par, I have no idea.

As far resources go, good drk's manage their mp fine, I only ever see warrior's fell cleave all over the place with the occasional Decimate for AoE, and Pld has no resources to manage anyway. I don't really see what's lost in the process. As far as defensive cooldowns go, Drk still has to manage Dark Mind, Shadow Skin, Living Dead, and Shadow Wall, Warrior still has to know when to use Raw Intuition, Equilibrium, Thrill of Battle, Holmgang, and Vengeance, and Paladin still has to manage Rampart, Sentinel, and Hallowed Ground. I really don't think losing Awareness, Foresight, and Convalescence is that big a loss.
