Aside from that I still don't agree that rend is vastly inefficient for rage purposes and it may just be chalked up to individual playstyle.

I killed 10 level 48 elites outside of Onyxia's lair. After initial engagement I turned off autoattack and struck the elites with only rend. Nine out of ten took physical damage from applying the rend and I gained rage (which may have been normal rage generation). The one attack that is different I critted and procc'd deepwounds.
