I just want to know why is the most valuable talent for arms warriors getting nerfed, especially given the BULK of arms warrior damage comes from only TWO abilities. All an arms warrior has is Overpower and Mortal Strike while other melee classes such as Shamans, Paladins, Druids, Death Knights, and Rogues have way more abilities to do damage. That and the warriors mechanics of doing damage is weak compared to how those other classes that use runes/mana/energy have their burst wherever and whenever they want it because it's not subject to be drained as significantly from other core abilites. Basically do any of those classes have to charge or do white damage before they can unload their damage? NO! Think about it...
A paladin:
Crusader Strike, Divine Storm, Judgment, and Seals.
A shamans:
Storm Strike, Shocks, Lava Lash, Totems, and a Maelstrom attack.
Death Knights:
Dots but most importantly in their rotation they can get 5 strikes in a row which do significant damage such as 5 Heart Strikes, or Plague Strikes in a row.
Rogues and Druids:
Both have varied degrees of cheap attacks that can do quick damage in short periods of time usually only resulting in having to wait in Global Cooldown for them to attack again (if empty they have to wait about roughly 4 seconds to gain the needed energy back). Either way their initial damage is higher then that of a warriors.
Basically all these classes have higher initial amounts of burst damage, but also have consistent higher amounts of burst then a warrior. Nerfing the Juggernaut ability mitigates one of the few reliable amounts of damage a warrior has. Two main attacks and a weak "energy system" compared/vs to the multiple attacks and reliable energy systems of the other classes is just plain messed up.
