Trying to maximize dps on Twintania as a Warrior. Can't seem to find any guides for a Warrior DPS rotation. Anyone care to share theirs please?

Turn Defiance off. Use Berserk and Internal Release on cooldown. Keep Fracture up, do not clip, do not break a combo chain for it, but keep it up as often as possible.
Spam Heavy Swing -> Maim -> Storm's Eye combo. Every time Unchained is up, turn defiance back on, Infuriate-> Unchained -> Vengeance -> Combo to 5 wrath -> Inner Beast -> Defiance off and back to spamming Storm's Eye. Try to time this for Berserk as often as possible, but don't delay Berserk for it.
Use Butcher's Block combo only when you can do it without taking threat, it is the higher DPS combo, but it will rip threat if you use it often.

Heavy Swing > Maim > Storm Eye > Fracture (Keep it up) > BB Combo/SE Combo depending on threat position.
Brutal Swing, Internal Release, Berserk on CD
If threat is far from MT, Defiance > Infuriate > Unchained > Till duration over. > Defiance off
on other scenarios, Defiance > Infuriate > Inner Beast > Vengeance (If available) > Combo till Defiance CD off if at 4 Wrath follow up till Inner Beast before turning off.
Also on another note, try to land Berserk on Unchained as it will generate 1 more Wrath.
Misinformation so far, unfortunately.
1. You do not want to use Berserk and Internal Release on CD. You want to use them together, in almost every possible scenario.
2. Do not touch Defiance. Going into Defiance, using Infuriate so you can get that fatty Inner Beast off is more detrimental to your DPS than anything. When you go into Defiance, you are forced to stay in it for 10 seconds. All DPS gain you will get from being able to use Inner Beast you will completely lose from being forced to sit in Defiance for 10 seconds.
Everything else mentioned in this thread is correct. Spam Storms Eye combo until threat allows you to weave in Butchers Block. Never let Maim fall, do not clip Fracture and don't let Fracture fall off.
Using them together will get you roughly 1.4x benefit per 90s, while CD is 1x benefit per 60s as a baseline. However, since you're overalapping on one third of your uses (every 180s), using it on-cooldown will actually get you roughly 1.13x benefit per 60s, or about 21% greater benefit than waiting for Berserk every time.
You could not have explained that any more vaguely than you just did.
Was pretty clear to me.
i thought he was trying to say its better to use inner release on cooldown but then the numbers don't make sense.
which is it?
anyways on Twintania you want to use them together. but beserk isn't up for second fast conflag.
Sadly however optimal you may perform your DPS rotation, same gear Paladin in Sword Oath will still clear your floor EVERY time. What warriors have is only burst, so pick the right situation where burst is needed.
You couldn't be more wrong. Same geared PLD in Sword Oath vs WAR not in Defiance we dumpser the PLD. Higher Potency in the combo alone should show that to you. I'm sitting in almost full iLvL 90 (only missing the legs and I have the iLvL 80 relic) gear with the crafted accessories and my WAR does 220 DPS sustained with Defiance off. Show me a PLD that can do that...
I have about -30 STR on my PLD vs my WAR and still only hit about 160 sustained DPS on PLD in Sword Oath...
As for WAR DPS rotation, most of what people have said here is true.
Heavy Swing > Maim > Storm's Eye > Fracture ... repeat steps 1-3 over and refresh Fracture when it falls off. If/when you are far enough behind the tank in hate, you can throw in alternating Butcher's Block combo with Storm's Eye combo until you start creeping back up on the MT. Drop Fracture if you are starting to run out of TP, and use all your damage cooldowns when they are available. DO NOT ever go into Defiance, it is a direct DPS drop with everything you do in there compared to just staying out of it and doing a normal rotation.
