Fury Warrior and Paladin rotations, as requested

[Vitandus]

The Fury Warrior rotation is one of the most complicated DPS rotations of the melee classes. First off, I highly recommend using this macro I wrote:

#showtooltip Berserker Rage
/cast Berserker Rage
/cast Bloodrage

This will get you the rage to get started. Now here comes the hard part for a boss fight:

Use the macro above.
Bloodthirst
Whirlwind
Heroic Strike or Cleave
Slam when Bloodsurge procs.
Recklessness on cooldown.

This is the rotation. Practice, practice, practice until you get it down. As one of the more complex rotations in the game, it may take you some time. Don't give up!

The Retribution Paladin rotation is similarly a bit rough to master. I have two methods to handle playing a Retribution Paladin.

The first method does requires a different mouse. I recommend the Logitech Revolution MX for reasons I will cover in a moment. Buy it, set it up, and then you'll be ready.

First thing - you want to build a macro to cover the rotation for a Retribution Paladin.

#showtooltip Crusader Strike
/castrandom Crusader Strike, Divine Storm, Judgement of Light, Consecration, Exorcism

Name this macro Retribution, and then drag it to the 2nd slot in your action bar.
Now run this command:

/script SetBindingMacro("Mousewheel", "Retribution"); SaveBindings(GetCurrentBindingSet())

Now you have to write another macro:

#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:ctrl] Seal of Command; Seal of Corruption

Name this macro Seal, and drag it to 1st slot in your action bar.

Now, here's the rough part. If you are engaging trash, you want to hold ctrl, and then click the first button. If you are engaging a boss, click the first button without control. Then you want to scroll your mousewheel as fast as you can. This is where the non-clicking flywheel of the Logitech Revolution becomes critical.

If you don't want to spend the money on a mouse just to be able to use a fancy macro, you can simply do the following:

Place Seal of Command in action button 1.
Place Judgement of Light in action button 2.
Place Crusader Strike in action button 3.
Place Divine Storm in action button 4.
Place Consecration in action button 5.
Place Exorcism in action button 6.

Without the mouse, you will actually have to adapt to a non-intuitive flow. At the start of combat, hit 1. Immediately move your hand to the left, off the keyboard - this movement is critical! Then place your forehead on your keyboard, and quickly roll it back and forth across the number keys. This coordinated movement will take some practice.

I told you it was complex. I forgot something!
