World of Warcraft Patch 2.4

[Mordekhuul]

Protection warriors in Fury gear (using a very simple Whirlwind/Devastate rotation) deal respectable DPS. Not awesome, but they've hit the 1k mark in Hyjal, as I understand.

Of course, that's not competitive with a DPS class (who, I understand, can surpass 1500+ easily in BT), but still, it's respectable. It requires Fury gear, though, which is difficult to get for a Protection warrior.

We generally just run one fury warrior, so our prot warriors are collecting fury gear pretty easily.

Of course, we allow for it (encourage it) in our loot system. If no one is bidding for a main-spec item, folks can /roll for it if it is off-spec to them, so there is no charge for a prot warrior taking fury gear under our loot system whatsoever.
