All Arms Warrior Changes in Season 3

Warrior

Rallying Cry now increases current and maximum health by 10 percent (was 15 percent).
Inspiring Presence has been removed.

Arms

Developers’ note: Skullsplitter’s immediate expiration of Deep Wounds and Rend caused too much rotational impact and had unintuitive side effects. The redesigned Deep Wounds and Rend interactions should alleviate these issues while providing Arms Warriors a new way to interact with bleed effects.
Skullsplitter now causes Deep Wounds to bleed out more quickly for a short duration (was expire instantly).
Tide of Blood now also causes your Rend on the target to bleed out 100 percent faster for 10 seconds.
Developer’s note: Ignore Pain’s interaction with Rage spent mechanics has caused its use to deviate from the intent as pre-emptive mitigation into an offensive rotational ability. We are removing Ignore Pain’s interaction with these mechanics to restore it to a purely defensive choice.
Rage spent on Ignore Pain no longer contributes to Anger Management, Tactician, and Test of Might.
Slam damage increased by 25 percent.
Improved Slam’s Critical Strike damage increase reduced to 10 percent (was 30 percent).
All ability damage increased by six percent.
Mortal Strike damage increased by 10 percent.
Overpower damage increased by 10 percent.

Stat Priority in Patch 10.2

General Stat Priority for Arms Warrior with our Build is:

Strength
Critical Strike
Haste
Mastery
Versatility

Strength is your primary stat, meaning that Itemlevel is superior in most cases. Higher Itemlevel will also increase your Stamina and Armor that you gain.
Critical Strike increases the chance for your abilities and spells to deal double damage. Critical Strike also increases the amount of Rage you gain, and grants you a higher benefit due to some talents increasing your critical strike damage.
Haste reduces your global cooldown, your time to cast spells, and reduces the cooldown of many abilities.
Versatility grants you a flat damage increase, but also a damage decrease for half of its value.
Mastery increases the damage done by your Deep Wounds, a bleeding which is applied by using most of your abilities.

The further we are getting into the expansion, the effects of diminishing returns start to limit your effective gain of your secondary stats. After reaching 30% (by rating) of any given stat, you will start to receive a penalty that reduces the gain from more of the same stat over this treshold.

Stat priority can differ on every character. Make sure to simulate yourself on Raidbots get the perfect results for you.
