His example for the new Heroic Strike sounds a lot like a Sudden Death Execute.

That's what I immediately thought of, too. I hope that's not exactly what they plan to do though.

From the sound of it, it's a little different in that more rage means more damage more efficiently whereas sudden death (and execute in general) it's better to use it with the minimum amount of rage. Here's hoping for a pseudo-bloodthirst attack: Instant damage up front, damage increases with extra rage, and you gain a buff that boosts the next few attacks (just white or just yellow or both) but maybe at the cost of lowered rage generation.

I do like how they're encouraging the use of haste but on the other hand, I fear it will be like WotLK for casters in that EVERY stat is great but working out if gear is an upgrade is a headache (give up haste for crit? hmm, lose int but gain spirit..). But then again, it's not like we'll have to worry about ArP anymore or leather/mail gear.
