I'd love to see a trainer ability added where the warrior can have 10 rage on his bar at all times, and possibily 15/20 rage if talented. This would be there only until the warrior entered combat, at which time all rage would be handled normally. Once the warrior was out of combat, the 10 rage would regen over a few seconds, like health and mana do. This would give us so many more options at the start of a pull, and would help Prot warriors when they can't Charge. Few things are worse than having a pack of mobs pull unexpectedly and rush toward you, while you sit helpless because none of your buttons are lit for the first few seconds of combat. The various Shouts were made to address snap rage generation issues, but between their relatively long cooldowns and the rapid decay of rage, they aren't always enough. Always having some rage "in the tank" for emergencies would help alleviate the rage normalization problems, and it can easily be disabled if it unbalances the all-important arena. But really... mana users begin every pull with a full mana bar. Is letting warriors sit on a tiny bit of rage really asking so much?
