You only need to hit a certain amount of SkS, and beside since WAR's the odd tank out, instead of melding DH you can meld SkS to reach the correct tier. Also worth noting, with the increase in time between GCD for combos to sat alive, you have time to weave IR window and refresh eye, giving more freedom than before tbh.
    These are not comparable. Losing a Crit/Dh Fell Cleave is a significantly larger damage loss than missing Goring Blade under Fight or Flight. And while it typically is a timing issue on the player, no other tank is punished quite as severely because all of Warrior's damage is baked into a single button. Furthermore, Warrior is the only tank that outright must allow its buff to fall off in the opener otherwise it's actually a damage loss. This repeats in any instance where you'll gain a Fell Cleave in a pot/burst window. As for melding Skill Speed, this impacts the other tanks unless you only play Warrior—leaving you with two options: obtaining a separate set just for Warrior or rolling an inferior build.

    That interaction with Infuriate is really clunky; forcing you to throw Inner Chaos out at specific points since you need to deplete charges otherwise you risk overcapping. This is only due to the fact IC replaces Fell Cleave, thus you can't simply hold an IC until after you finish your IR window. Dark Knight now has literally the same ability yet lacks this problem. Inner Chaos should be a separate button, especially seeing Warrior's hotbars are downright barren now. Nascent Flash doesn't come close to Paladin's OT utility, and lags significantly beside Intervention, TBN and Heart of Stone. Who cares about an AoE combo finisher when literally every tank got that?
