Stat Priority:

ROTATION

Shield Slam > Revenge > Rend > Devastate

AOE Threat Priority:
Rend > Thunder Clap > Shockwave > Revenge
when over 50 rage, add Cleave


Interrupt Priority:
Spell Reflection > Shield Bash > Shockwave > Concussion Blow
add Charge/Intercept, Heroic Throw, & Intimidating shout where feasible

GLYPHS
Prime Glyphs:
  • Shield Slam, Revenge, Devastate: The only viable options.
Major Glyphs:
  • Shockwave, Thunder Clap, Cleaving: All excellent choices for AoE situations.
  • Spell Reflect, Long Charge, Rapid Charge, Sunder Armor, Intercept: Decent choices, especially if AoE threat is a non-issue. Spell Reflect in particular can be of great use against caster trash.
Minor Glyphs:
  • Demoralizing Shout: Required if there's any chance you'll have to use Demo during a fight.
  • Battle, Command: If you're in charge of using either of these shouts to maintain their buffs, use the appropriate glyph.
  • Intimidating Shout: Surprisingly good glyph for instance trash. Potentially 8 seconds of CC onto an entire pack of enemies with no downside. Great panic button, or simply to use as an additional interrupt.
  • Berserker Rage: Filler glyph. 5 rage every 30 seconds is barely worth mentioning, but you may as well use it if there's no utility glyph to put in its place.
