In this guide, we will offer you some quick and practical information for leveling up your Warrior from level 85 to level 100. We cover rotation and talents. We do not, however, cover statistics, gear, or any information about the zones you should be questing in.
This guide requires a basic understanding of how the Warrior class works at a high level. This guide is not meant to reflect how you should play your character at maximum level, or in a dungeon or raid environment.
While leveling up from level 85 to 90, you can complete 4 dungeons:
- Temple of the Jade Serpent;
- Stormstout Brewery;
- Shado-Pan Monastery;
- Mogu'shan Palace.
While leveling up from level 90 to 100, you can complete 4 dungeons:
- Bloodmaul Slag Mines;
- Iron Docks;
- Auchindoun;
- Skyreach.
These dungeons have quests which reward you with vast amounts of experience.
In our opinion, you should level your Warrior up as either Arms or Fury, since this is much more efficient than leveling as Protection.
1. Arms Leveling Guide: 85-100
1.1. Talents and Glyphs
Before setting out on your leveling journey, you should take these talents and glyphs, for maximum efficiency. Obviously, this is not set in stone, and you have a lot of liberty.
Where we did not choose any talents, it is because none of the talent choices have any benefit to you while leveling up. Feel free to choose based on your own personal preference.
For glyphs, Glyph of Long Charge and Glyph of Enraged Speed are also worth considering. The choice is yours.
At level 90, you will be able to choose a tier 6 talent. All 3 talents provide sizeable DPS increases, and you can choose any one you want, but we believe that Bladestorm will prove to be most useful.
1.2. Rotation
The rotation you use while leveling up will prove to be very similar to your normal raiding rotation, but we will summarise the rotation you should use below.
It is important to use 
Colossus Smash first when you pull a new target. Doing so will greatly increase the damage of your subsequent abilities. Your "rotation", however, remains the same whether or not Colossus Smash is available.
-
Use
Mortal Strike on cooldown. -
Apply
Rend to the target, if it will live long enough (roughly 10 seconds or more). -
Use
Dragon Roar on cooldown. -
Use
Execute (only available when the target is below 20% health). - Use Whirlwind to dump Rage.
Against multiple targets (2-3), always keep up 
Sweeping Strikes, and perform a normal rotation.
You should always be in Battle Stance.
Below, we will quickly list your important DPS cooldowns, survival abilities, and the leveling perks you will gain between level 90 and 100.
