What is the utility of Onslaught and Upheaval?

[Lyth]

This is fantastic. The word "utility" has truly, and utterly lost all meaning. It means everything from mitigation, self-healing, raid buffs, interrupts, mobility tools, to now dps. We can now safely toss it in the bin alongside words such as "clunky."

I'm so tired of seeing Onslaught complaints at this point. Switch Onslaught to being identical to every other tank gap closer (reduce 20 yalm range to 15 yalms, increase 10 second recast to 30 seconds, allow for 2 charges, and remove potency from WAR elsewhere so that no net boost to total dps results from the change). While you do that, give the present Onslaught to DRK, because if you're halfway smart about resource management, it's a superior gap closer in every way. We're the only tanks with any real resource management anyways, so we might as well keep that uniform across the board.

and there is a reason why every other tank uses their "gap-closer" as dps gain and "maybe" saves 1 charge after burst if the encounter requires it.

sure give us the identical gap closer and lower potencies elsewhere..

on topic: others already mentioned the most important, i'll just advice to always keep at least 20 gauge for onslaught in case you want to gap close, like chrono already said, onslaught is a dps gain if you can gain uptime on the target (gcd's), other then that only use it in inner release and while it can be used as a gauge dump, with the loss of the stance benefits of keeping your gauge high, there is little reason/value of going over 70 gauge atm. at least in my opinion.
