Bug fixes
Dual Wield Specialization hit no longer applies to the main hand too
Fury will be re-tested because of that bug

Forever Assist commentary
For Fury, the big shift is that the tree no longer forces you through Enrage. Flurry now hangs off Death Wish and the early rows gain Rage-management and hit talents, so dual-wield Warriors should starve for Rage less while leveling. Add 100% crit Rage and the Bloodthirst coefficient bump, and Fury scales harder as gear improves.
Two-handed Fury loses out: Unbridled Wrath no longer doubles Rage on two-handers. With the dual-wield hit bug fixed, it is safer to wait for the next test round before judging real damage.
Protection pulls Improved Bloodrage, Iron Will and Improved Disarm closer to the top so you can reach them without a shield. That gives PvP Warriors who dip into Protection more options, while losing Toughness is a small hit for tanks.
