Draenei is one of the strongest races in PvE content for Alliance, asHeroic Presence is a great stat boost to your entire party. It stillremains a party-wide buff, not raid-wide, meaning the group you are in stillmatters. This buff helps you with your Hit Rating needs greatly, as well as the restof the players in your party, making Draenei an extremely powerful choice.

Humans remain a solid choice for Fury Warrior in WotLK, having bothSword Specialization and Mace Specializationto increase your Expertise. Humans are also arguably the strongest race in thegame for PvP. Having both Will to Survive, essentially a free PvP trinket,and Perception; Human is a solid choice if you will be doing PvP on yourWarrior.

Dwarves are similar to Humans, having Mace Specializationto increase your Expertise. While this racial grants more than the Human version,it is limited to maces only, which restricts your weapon options more.

Dwarves also have Stoneform, which has some uses in PvE and isquite powerful in PvP. With your Armored to the Teeth talent, this willalso provide you with a small Attack Power increase for the duration.

Orc is by far the strongest race for a Fury Warrior. Most of the best-in-slotend-game weapons are axes, which lines up perfectly withAxe Specialization, giving you a huge boost to your Expertise.

Orcs also get Blood Fury, a racial ability acting similar to an on-useAttack Power trinket. While the amount of Attack Power granted by this racial isnot much, it is better than what most other races have to offer.

Troll is a also a great choice for Fury Warrior. Berserking isthe Troll racial, granting a 20% multiplicative increase to your Haste. This canbe a huge damage increase when paired with cooldowns, namely Death Wishas they have the same cooldown, making them a great combo. You also getBeast Slaying, further increasing your damage against any Beast youencounter.

Engineering on paper is not a great profession for you, but it provides ahigh amount of utility and added damage that make it arguably the strongestprofession in Wrath of the Lich King.

Charged Titanium Specs is a great pre-raid helm option, giving youanother easy piece of gear to craft early on. Nitro Boosts is a powerfulboot enchant choice, allowing you to cover a large amount of ground quickly.This can greatly increase your uptime on certain bosses that have high movementmechanics. You can also get Flexweave Underlay, your best cloak enchantthat also doubles as a slowfall when activated.

Another unique Engineering enchant is Hyperspeed Accelerators, aglove enchant. This gives you another damage cooldown, greatly increasingyour Haste every minute. This is a great cooldown that you can get high valuefrom, especially during your Death Wish windows.

Engineering explosives continue on through WotLK with both Global Thermal Sapper Charge and Saronite Bomb giving you extradamage, especially during large AoE pulls.

Overall Engineering remains a powerful option for everyone as it brings ahuge amount of utility and extra damage. If your raid requires you to haveEngineering do not feel bad about losing out on a few passive stats as theutility you gain far outweighs them.

Jewelcrafting is an extremely powerful profession in Wrath of the Lich King,being used by almost all classes and specializations. For a Fury Warrior, itprovides you with Bold Dragon's Eye and Fractured Dragon's Eye. Fractured Dragon's Eye is a vital part of reaching the Armor Penetrationcap in early gear, while Fractured Dragon's Eye is a huge stat increaseotherwise.

While Blacksmithing is generally not worth taking over either Jewelcraftingor Engineering, it does have a specific use that is worth mentioning.Blacksmithing provides 2 additional sockets with both Socket Bracer andSocket Gloves. These 2 additional sockets will typically be used to helpreach the Armor Penetration cap easier in early raid gear. Even with thisoption, it is still not recommended to take Blacksmithing over the betterprofessions.
