To my experience in fairly low-level instances with uncomplicated boss fights (granting a more 'readable' level of raid DPS), Fury warriors are doing notably higher than Rogues and Warlocks and currently slightly less than Ret Paladins. In fact, I have yet to see a real Ret Paladin (not a rerolled Holy Paladin in welfare epics) not at the top of any raid or heroic's DPS meter assuming no massive gear disaparity (I saw one in badge loot lose out to a SWP Hunter, but that's life).

Not to be distracted, Fury Warriors generally are doing very solid and healthy DPS...and I would definitely say a lot more than before (not just in raw numbers, but in standings on the chart). Bear in mind this is only my first-hand experience in heroics (~15 or so across two characters) and a few low-level raids (ZA, Gruul, TK).

In the first instance (ZA) I did with a Fury warrior on my Warlock with the same gear as before the patch and the same rough spec I would rate about 15-20% damage overall than him. Now, I trail about that same margin behind. Whatever changes elsewhere, that is a massive buff for Warriors but it's a matter of debate whether that's from TG alone or not.
