The 5pc bonus is ridonkulous and will definitely make a difference. However there are other options too. I stopped using the Thrive on Chaos rune all together and went back to using Slaughter and just use WOTB on packs that I think might give me a hard time or if I can drag 2+ packs into each other.
What this video missing are two things:
1- Show us how godly your gear is. I suspect you have to use mighty weapon with high enough overall DPS to keep fury generation high and survive. With the new changes, the build becomes very gear dependent.
2- Instead of gathering all monsters together where it is easy to maintain WotB, do a regular farm route and show us if you are able to keep your WotB between packs.
This video is no proof for 'do not fear', the real challenge will be keeping WotB up between packs and the refresh rate of WotB. Sure you can still spin around a large group of monsters, but the real power of current WW spec is that you can keep WotB up %100 with mediocre gear.
its KingKongor he's posted his gear before and has also stated its taken him something like $3000 bucks to get it all.
even if they nerfed Thrive on Chaos to keep it from being 100% uptime I dont think it would affect the build that much. I personally use Slaughter and prefer that rune way more, Slaughter + reduced CD passive are fantastic and you can literally explode ANY elite/rare pack almost instantly with anything more than like 20% crit. Reduced CD makes sure its up for most packs.
Whirl Wind - Wind Shear would be a better rune for your whirlwind. You lose some WW damage but with just 4 mobs near you it becomes self sustaining. More mobs and you generate more rage than you spend to use it. That would free up runes for other things. Like more armor or life regeneration from War Cry or a better passive than animosity.
