Interesting.  I know that using Rend also immediately activates your autoattack, but I imagine your combat log would specifically state whether the Rage-generating damage comes from Rend or Attack.  I still doubt I'll use Rend more than once every few decades, but this is nifty to know; as you mentioned, it's a playstyle choice.  In PvP, I don't have time to wait 21 seconds for the damage to take place - in PvE, you have all the time in the world :)

The combat log listed lines like "You hit dragonkin for 111"
"Dragonkin is afflicted with rend"

And autoattack remained off.
