Thats a very broad question. I think you would get better results if you tried to be a little more specific.

Fury
* Specialties: Powerful sustained damage and can regenerate with Bloodthirst and Blood Craze. Can passively reduce healing on enemies with Furious Attacks. Able to wield two 2 handed-weapons with Titan's Grip.
* Strengths: Powerful sustained damage with dual wielding and capable to do high burst damage with Bloodsurge and Bloodthirst.
* Weaknesses: More fragile than the other specs, taking in more damage with Berserker Stance and relying on two weapons to perform at best, forsaking the use of a shield save for highly situational times.
The fury tree bolsters the use of dual wielding (but does not limit the warrior in any way), to dish out the highest damage that the warrior is very capable of. Critical strikes allow the fury warrior to Flurry, while the attacks they use most have a chance of proccing Bloodsurge, throwing in high Slam burst damage with their already high sustained damage. While the cost to uphold this kind of damage taxes on rage heavily, dual wielding solves the problem. With the final talent, Titan's Grip, the warrior is able to dual wield two 2-hand weapons, greatly increasing rage gain in bursts, allowing the warrior the needed rage.
In the past, going too deep in the fury tree was undesired for PvP due to its lack of "mortal strike healing debuff", but as of patch 3.0.0, the fury tree gained Furious Attacks, which applies the needed healing debuff.

I'm assuming he is asking for info/tips on how to play Fury at level 30, so end-game tips are largely irrelevant.
As for how to actually play, at level 30 you don't really have any of your main abilities.
At this level, I'm pretty sure Arms and Fury are essentially identical. You should really be playing in Battle Stance atm, as you don't have a single ability that requires Berserker's Stance that can't be used in Battle, but plenty that are opposite.
I'm going to say make this your priority system:
Execute
Cleave (if 3+ targets)
Rend Up (only if the target will live for the decent majority of the duration).
Heroic Strike
What I mean by priorities is what to use on a GCD.
So, when something is under 20%, you should probably exclusively use execute at this level. HOWEVER, this is probably only true of bosses. Normal mobs are likely to die so fast that it will be smarter to save your Rage for the next mob, as Execute uses 45 and 20% of trash health is nothing at that level.
Now, Cleave and Rend are tricky imo. I don't know your gear, so it is hard to calculate.
Cleave damage is your weapon damage (average, main hand) + 30 to up to 3 targets. Rend is your Weapon Damage (average, main hand) + your AP/14 * your weapon speed + 70.
So, if your average weapon damage for your main hand is 50, you have 400 AP and the weapon speed is 2.0, Rend would tick for 177 or so on one target. Cleave on 3 targets would do 240, but only 160 on 2.
Whichever of those two is higher, prioritize it. If rend is higher, use it on every mob until they all have it, THEN cleave. If cleave is higher, don't bother with Rend until you have only 1 or 2 mobs (unless you have so much AP that Rend is more for 3 mobs).
After that, on single targets, use Heroic Strike and auto-attack. If you have more than one target, just use Cleave.
That's really all you CAN do at this level.
When soloing, you can add in Thunderclap and Overpower. You can check out their damage on WoWhead if you want to know where to fit them in. But things will die so fast soloing that you don't need to care if you don't want to.
