I'm not sure if it's been updated for the PTR or Beta, but a mod called Power Aura (powa) works pretty well for that.

It has a whole bunch of graphics to choose from and timers that can be placed anywhere on your screen. They can be set to show up when a buff/debuff is active/not-active on you or your target, with a few other options.

I use it for a few things, but particularly for that Enh Shammy talent that gives you a free shock on melee crits (if I remember the spell correctly).

well I know people on the PTR with decent fury gear (70) using TG and doing 1.5k dps. they killed 90% of the bosses in kara only with 4 people in raid.

I don't TG will be as bad as people think it is. Once the patch come out people need to test it and see how good or bad it is. Right now everything is up in the air and the PTR can change from day to day. but so far TG is really good on the PTR

Lies, I am on the PTR nearly daily, and no matter how many tests I run, TG is bad, I've regeared for more hit, and it's still not as strong as my regular fury spec. The 1.5k dps guys are showing you what happens when they pop cooldowns for a 1 minute fight and magically don't get misses. I can get 1.5k dps in a fight if I get lucky as well. Sustained damage is what wins raids, and TG isn't doing that. In pvp Burst damage wins fights, and TG can provide it but without reliability. TG is bad right now.

Wroooooooong!

Go look up my test threads and see how exactly inaccurate your statement was. Then feel free to post Screenshots of this or all of it is hearsay.

"A friend of a friend of mine told me that my power level was OVER 9000!!!!"

See what I did there?

I took my warrior over to the PTR and respecced him TG fury. Gear has 215 hit rating (using the amani mask of death) and I was doing 1.3k dps over a period of 2 hours. Yeah, seeing the big yellow miss does put a frown on my face but then seeing 3k ww hits pop up like candy flips it upside down.

My impression, and this is also from the gear I've seen on the beta, is that TG will be very hit centric and it is not impossible to be sitting at 500 hit rating @lvl80 wearing blues. Whomever still things that TG is a nerf needs to take some time and learn to play the spec because it ain't like the only 17/44 builds.

We're not saying TG is a nerf, we're saying that the hit penalty right now is too much, sure at level 80 with full naxx epics we can come close to having the hit cap, but until then, our dps will be streaky, we've tested it on the PTR, especially right as 3.0 goes live fury warriors will be looking to see what they can contribute to their last few raids before WOTLK comes out, and we don't want them all spec'ing TG fury thinking it'll be an auto boost (which it should btw, but isn't) and find out they aren't sustaining much dps at all. Yes whirlwinding for 3k is awesome, I did it a few times too, but some of those times I'd hit whirlwind, mortal strike and just see "miss"... way to waste rage.

In response to Shadevarr.....I do over 1300 dps now with 1handers,so I am not understanding why you think TG isn't broken. The point is it is supposed to increase our dps, not just maintain it with sporadic rage. And before anyone says anything about gear I am in T4/badge/crafted crap, only thing I have out of T6 are rage shoulders. If TG will only do the equivalent of that level of egar, than its broken plain and simple.
