I was looking at specs and overwhelm is not a great PvE talent and the more I looked at Ravage I can't see why we would want to use it in a rotation as it takes 3 seconds channeled (2 gcd). I would think it would be a dps lost over two other abilities being used in those two gcds.

Is there something I am not seeing?

Ravage costs no Rage, and (at least on my Level 50 Marauder from the last beta build) does slightly more damage than two Massacres (including the auto-proc Ataru strikes). I always tried to keep it on cooldown. The damage is better than anything you can spam (i.e. Massacre) and doing damage without spending Rage means using low-damage rage-builders less frequently.

I don't like Overwhelm either for PvE (it looks potentially better for PvP, but I never PvPed on my Marauder).
