The good folks over at WoW Vault have posted a Q&A via Thungot from Blizzard in regards to concerns about the warrior class in the Burning Crusade. I am not 100% sure where they came across this info, but with Thungot being a European CM, I imagine it came from somewhere across the pond. In any case, Tseric and Kalgan answer a lot of questions that have been floating around the warrior community lately, and do so rather thoroughly. Some of the more interesting points...- They give their rationale for moving Tactical Mastery into the protection tree.
- They defend flurry's usefulness in PvP.
- They explain how the rage normalization, in their opinion, will really not be that big a deal. They also go into how it will scale with different gear.
- They address concerns that with smaller raid sizes and the addition of shamans or paladins that DPS warriors will be far less in demand.

So the Tactical Mastery move was done to force warriors to try different specs other than 31/30.
Isn't that decision better left to the warriors? Wouldn't giving warriors 41 point talents WORTH a damn dissuade them from going 31/30?
Nah, its much easier to just hardcore nerf the class rather than come up with anything remotely good.

30/31 for fury not that bad. However with pallys now being able to tank and heal themselves what is going to happen to warriors? Think we will still be used as tanks? or just DPS now

Blizz really likes to rain on our days as if we had enough problems not being the best at dps now all the dps warriors in raiding will be left behind and a shammy or Pallys taking our spot. We can tank but come on why does blizz make it so you can have only like 3 warriors per raid I find that very unfair.
Also they made it easier for a pally or druid to tank which is bull I think its as if Blizz wants our class gone or something. Will the warrior truly be that useful or will we be something that just drags the other classes down? Thats one thing I dont want for warriors or for any class as it goes.
