First of all, since this just occurred to me from the earlier posts, Kareth, if you're raid has a ton of armor debuffs, since they still appear to stack, ravager might be better in that situation, since all my testing on a dummy (and for that matter my 8 man raid group) has zero armor debuffs, ravage might end up a much more damaging ability given a 100% reduction in targets armor. If you're still testing that out, might want to take that into consideration too, since I do not know your raid composition.

I've been wondering if people have considered using Force Charge as part of the rotation.

Assuming Battering Assault/Deadly Saber/Rupture/Annihilate/Ravage are on cooldown, we are left with Assault, Viscious Slash, and possibly Force Charge.

Assault + Slash nets 0 rage, builds 2 fury/GCD, and for me does 1593 damage/GCD. (Note: This is just using the max number on the ability tooltip).

Leap + Slash + Slash nets 0 rage, builds 2.666 fury/GCD, and 1557 damage/GCD.

Note that for above I'm saying we stick to the normal rotation. Just asking what we do with the extra GCDs. The abilities above don't have to be in order. For example: you can go Leap > Annihilate > (everything on cooldown) Slash.

Bit of a hand-wavey analysis, so I was wondering if anybody can offer any insight.

edit: I also just did a rough estimation using my numbers that 2/3 fury is approximately 26 damage.

I use force charge at the same time as DS. They have the same cooldown and FC&DS applies DS and together has a net gain of one rage, and that way you only need to pay attention to your rage in terms of Anni, Rupture, VT, and then use VS as a rage dump.
