I have to disagree with pmjenn85 here. You don’t go tank to gear for dps, you go dps to gear for tank. If you’re not fairly well geared going in as a tank, you’re not going to handle heroics. DPS can get away with being undergeared, but a tank cannot.

I know nothing about warriors. But all DPS classes I’ve played ( I have 3 80 dps ) were all about learning the rotation. Get some kind of damage meters and try using different tactics and see what difference it makes. Keep track of where you’re getting your damage from, and what skills are getting used the most. Gear helps, but it’s only part of the picture.

There are craftables that are naxx-ready. Saving up the mats for them might be a real pain, but they’re the easy way to go. Between rep gear, craftables, and badge gear you should be in good shape. Also: if your main is for PVE raid content, DO NOT spend badges on heirlooms for your alts. That’s what stone keeper shards are for.

Another recommendation I would have is this: Go to elitist jerks or the wowhead forums or some other reputable source of information to make sure you’re using an efficient spec and rotation.

One more thing: all of the Druid, Warr, DK, and Pally DPS I know just specced tank to get into as many heroics as possible then rolled for off-spec gear. If you can find groups without other plate wearers and you know your tanking this is an easy way to get drops when you can’t really put down the deeps.

Well, you need to run heroics. Run the ones you need for gear first, and then random ones for more Badges of Heroism. Get the badge items (such as the necklace, trinket, etc).

Craftable epics are important too, but make sure you’re wearing those tabards to get the awesome rep rewards that you get for running heroics while wearing the tabards.
PUG 10 man Naxx, and/or find a guild where you can run Naxx. /pray that items drop for you, and find out the best rotations for your class.

Maybe even tweak your spec a bit, I know nothing of warriors, I’m a hunter, so yeah.

Visit the sit I’m gonna link and try to find out how to good dps, but from your Armory you really need to hit the heroics hard and start doing Naxx and Sartharion.

Good luck.

and please, if this helped you, in 4 hours choose this as a best answer to reward me!

My 80 fury warrior is a joke and is not prepared for Ulduar or Naxx. How can he be prepared?
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Trollbane&n=Shannity

There he is. Finished 23rd out of 25th in VoA. Constantly 4th place in DPS in heroics or reg instances. What steps should be taken to improve this character?

The first thing I’m looking at is the bad axe I have now , which needs an upgrade. The helm too. Anything else you see that needs improvement , let me know. 1k dps for a 80 is a joke. I need to upgrade that warrior badly.
