I constantly read forums about arms-warrior rotations to keep updated and max my DPS output. This is the rotation I use now; Charge, Rend (and always keeping it refreshed, but never too early), Mortal Strike when it is available, Execute if it procs, Overpower when it procs, Slam to fill in the spaces, and of course Sweeping Strikes and Bladestorm when necessary. When the target is under 20% HP I spam Execute and use Mortal Strike when it is available (and obviously keep Rend up).
I am open to suggestions to modify my current rotation, and have the following questions:
1.) Should Heroic Strike/Cleave EVER be used in my rotation? I have tried fixing this into my rotation before, such as for a rage dump, but then I seem to run out of rage for a couple seconds. Maybe I am using it at the wrong time? Should it only be used before certain abilities? Or not at all?
2.) Should Overpower and Mortal Strike be used when the target is under 20% HP? Or does Execute outweigh both of those?
I haven't been able to find any forums that can provide me with clear answers for these questions. Any insight is appreciated.
