Oh god! I <3 you, I played a Fury Warrior from middle of Wrath into Cata, they messed furry warriors up so bad in Cata, I want my 93% Armor Pen back. :(
I didn't really raid much in Cata, only did like, 2/12 + BH, my Warrior had like 3.8k Resil though, since I tried out Arena's (as Arms) in Cata, wasn't bad... but too many classes were way too OP in Arenas, I also have an 85 Protection Pally that was my first lvl 80 During Wrath, have an 85 Disc/Holy Priest and an 85 Blood/Frost DK whom I loved, DK tanking was/is awesome.
Furry warriors not being able to pull their weight? If so, it's only because of the ridiculous amount of HIT Blizzard made us need, I believe they reduced it last patch or something though, but even still, at the start of Cata, with my gear Reforged mostly into HIT I had 17% which still wasn't enough, but I was still able to pull 12k on a pug BH, 30k+ on the first boss in BoT (forget his name) and 16k on the Conclave of Wind or w/e with only Heroic blues and 2 PvP peices. Furry warriors were still kickin' it at the top of the meters, if they knew how to play anyways...
I miss Wrath though, my 4 piece T10.5, 2x Heroic Cryptmakers, all my other gear and my 93% Armor Pen, I'd pull 17-25k on LK 10/25. Those were good times. ):
Hmm, long post is long.... oh and I remember the boss's name, too lazy to go up to find it and change it, Halfus I believe was his name. /NerdRant ._.
