Agree about shifting damage from HoW to something else. It does stupid high damage even on my paladin alt it hits for like 24k and his gear is incredibly shitty.

The only issue with hammer of wrath is that the damage doesn't scale well. If I was to redesign the ability, I would make it scale with weapon damage. As it is now, in firelands gear, it's not even very high in the damage priority list.

Yeah, there's an awful lot of "wasted" damage from HoW, particularly when solo questing — dailies, etc. (I don't know about raids, since I don't raid.) I mean, it's kind of stupid that I have to slowly chip away at a mob with my once-every-3.5-seconds attacks until I get the mob down to, oh, 15k (20% for a mob with 75k HP), and then WHAMMO! 30k HoW. I'd much rather have that "overkill" incorporated into my other attacks one way or another so that I can get the mob down to 20% a bit quicker and then finish it off with a HoW that does "just enough". Like my warrior's Execute. Because it's silly how my Ret paladin is much better geared than my Arms warrior, but the warrior burns the mobs down more quickly.
