The skills I use when smashing skulls are:
Execute
Overpower
Thunder Clap
Heroic Strike
Sunder Armor
Retaliation
Charge
Battle Shout
There are plenty of other skills available to warriors at this point but to be honest... I dont' use them or care about them.
Execute
Everything I had seen before getting this skill sung its praises. I'm highly disapointed. Right now I often can't even get it off because my next blow kills whatever I'm fighting. I lose all my rage and can't use it on the next fight or to recast Battleshout. I used it in my rotation last night but I think I won't be using it at all tonight.
Overpower
Now...this I can totally get behind. This is an awesomely awesome skill. I use it whenever I can and other Sidhe Devils can attest I'm constaintly complaining that mobs don't dodge enough.
Thunder Clap.
Dood it makes cracks in the ground and looks totally awesome. I'm sure it helps my survivability but I use it because it looks cool. And WOW does it look cool. Also it kills those worms that popup when you kill certain ghouls in Darkshire.
Heroic Strike.
I love Heroic strike. I love how it works and I'm sad that it causes threat. I'm sure there are prot warriors who are glad that it does...I'm not prot though so I'm sad. Otherwise awesome. I always have too much rage. Except when I don't have enough.
Sunder Armor
I use this on and off. I wish I could just save up the rage and instantly 5 stack with one button press. That would be amazing. I wish it made me miss less or made mobs dodge more.
Retaliation.
Heaven in pure every 30 min form. Freakin awesome. Nothing much to say otherwise. The swords in the animation distract me....wish they weren't there.
Charge.
I cannot use this often enough. If I had the hunter backflip out of combat I would do nothing but backflip charge backflip charge backflip charge. Nothing would ever die but I wouldn't be happier.
Battle Shout
It goes down so fast. I cry. I always forget to check if its up and wonder why this mob is taking so long to kill.
Anyways...thats my thoughts on all of this.

Sunder armor is not really all that great for solo play through quests. However, do not underestimate its uses in PvP.
You will love Sweeping Strikes if you stay arms!
Are you on a PvP server or a PvE with the warrior?
Very ashamed of slow leveling after how fast I got to 20. I plan to be 30 by monday.
PVE Kael'thas. Alliance side.
OOoo sunder pvp.. stack em up and sic the rogues/hunters.
We'll see how you like Bezerker stance when you get it at 30, but I definitely prefer Battle Stance.
Arms and Fury will definitely have a much better opinion of how to play than me though. Speaking of... isn't Sweeping Strikes in the Fury tree, A&F?
What race did you pick for warrior dam? My guess would be dwarf.
Stupid Escort NPCs seem to enjoy aggroing every nearby Mob.
Since you are PvE Dam, you can really go fury once you hit Dual Wield and rock some DPS. Remember you scale with gear unlike getting a new spell with higher dmg.
If you stay Arms after Sweeping is changed back... you want to get a nice slow 2H with the highest low base dmg.
For grinding arms... you want to hit 2-3 mobs (4 if you can hack it) and charge, activate SStikes and switch to zerker for WW and instead of Heroic you are gonna tap cleave for the rage dump.
Attacking 2-3 ensures you will have enough rage to use your abilities everytime the cooldown is up.
There are more tricks for Arms grinding but I need time to write em.
I'm hoping to be 60 before patch 3.0.....we'll see how that goes.
I have the threeday weekend coming up but I'm on call so we'll see how much progress I actually make.
@Thirllah Draenai. I tried dwarf. It didn't work.
