Experimental hybrid. MythicSim simulates it with 31 points in Fury and 20 points in Protection, race Undead, and ranks it among the tanks.
A tank that keeps its Fury strikes
The Protection Warrior holds the line with a shield. Fury-Protection keeps that shield and Shield Specialization, then takes its attack talents from Fury: Bloodthirst, Death Wish and Flurry. The simulator’s rotation switches to Berserker Stance for the end of the fight.
Damage, opener and rotation of Fury-Protection
Melee (23.5% of the damage), Revenge (17.3%) and Execute (14.7%) weigh the most in the simulation.
Before the fight the character uses Bloodrage (10 s before), Battle Shout (3.5 s before), Battle Stance (3 s before), Retaliation (2 s before) and Defensive Stance (1 s before). The simulator’s priority list starts with Battle Shout, Death Wish, Berserker Stance and Execute; the full list, with the condition of each line, is in the Rotation block below.
On the talent side, the build takes Cruelty, Unbridled Wrath, Enrage and Flurry to maximum rank in Fury, then Shield Specialization, Improved Revenge, Improved Thunder Clap and Defiance to maximum rank in Protection.

Simulation details
What the simulated character does during the 120 s of the fight, where its 648 DPS without trinkets come from (693 DPS quoted above with the trinket pair), which effects it has and in which order it casts.
Damage breakdown
Each line is an ability: the damage per second it adds, its share of the total, how many times it is cast in a fight, the damage of an average cast and, for a lasting effect, the part of the fight where it is active.

What the Fury-Protection simulation does not tell
MythicSim’s tank ranking rests on the threat generated on a single target, in the gear described by the credit line. On its own it does not measure how the character takes a boss’s damage, and it covers neither a multi-boss raid nor PvP. Its simulation engine is not the game.
