There are, however, rumours doing the rounds suggest that 'zerker stance will be recieving a +10% damage buff (not sure if they're taking the 10% damage TAKEN debuff off as well). If this is the case, it leaves Fury untouched, but buffs arms damage by 10% if you stay in Zerker ...
Big IF though ... if all they're doing is simply nerfing fury by 10% ... then this is not a very happy time.
The rumor came from someone who couldn't read, and thought "Damage taken" meant "Damage done".
To quote something I wrote last night when rather pissed off...

Be patient. Lets see what else they are changing. It's very possible that their implementation of a mechanic to increase ARMS dps was a sweeping damage increase to warriors across the board and this 10% damage nerf is there to counteract that.
Warriors don't get sweeping changes. We get kicking changes, often accompanied by mugging changes and "Dear god, I didn't even know you could do that with his own intestines" changes.
It's possible that there's a huge Warrior revamp coming up. The problem is there already was a Warrior revamp, and it's called the Death Knight.
Good lord, a Ghost !!
In understand your frustration RP, I really do ... but if you really didn't see this coming, then shame on you dude ;-). Regardless of whether you think we don't need it or not, they've said they wanted to "counterbalance" - yeah, remember that word - TG with a penalty for ever now. The penalties they've imposed thus far have been full of fail .. maybe this one will be as well ... who knows.
The other thing is that the (very strong) talk has been that stances are getting revamped, which (regardless of whether or not the "Rumour" started because someone couldn't read) means an adjustment of damage done/damage taken/buffs received, etc, etc.
The indications are also (based on a response on the EU forums) that this "little adjustment" is not where things with warriors are going to end.
All that being said, all we know right now is that on the PTR, at this stage, TG does 10% less damage, whether it (the nerf) is warranted or not, and whether it stays or not remains to be seen. We can only hope.
As for DK's taking the place of the warrior (not said in so many words, but the sentiment is there) ... I disagree, I have an 80 warrior and a 75 DK ... when I feel I've had enough of my warrior, I switch over and play my DK. When I feel I've had enough of my DK (yes, it happens), I switch over and play my warrior again. Every time I switch (either way) , it feels like a breath of fresh air, why, because each class has something really awesome about it that the other class does not, whatever it is.
Now I understand that not everyone feels like this, and some people feel that because x class can do 50 more dps than y class, it's a reason to ditch y class like a hot potato ... but really, is that all this game is about ... doing more DPS? I don't think so, I like having fun, and enjoying the variety of play styles. And there are enough playstyle differences between a warrior and a Death Knight to make me want to play both.
