I played a few hours last night and arms feels amazingly effective and fun except for two things--both beaten into the ground as central issues that haven't been addressed by blizzard.

1.  If you get trained, especially by a rogue, you can't do shit.  With a 1h+shield your damage is pitiful.
2.  No pummel in battle stance.  All it will take is one pump-fake and you've swapped to zerker, lost all your rage, and now you're cycloned.

Other than those, new overpower is great.  Tons of on-demand burst and swapping potential with forced ms+op crits after a charge followed by a sudden death you're looking at 10k reliably.  Also, I didn't seem to have many rage issues.

I'd be very interested in playing some srs games.
