Fury warrior should have the unique ability to transmog 2handed weapons to 1handed or 2handed and vice versa.
Single Minded Fury vs Titan Grip is never gonna work so at least let us have the fantasy

Blizzard used to say the reason they couldn’t do this was it was an attack animation issue, which isn’t a lie perse, different weapons have different attack animations that is true, a polearm doesn’t use the same attack animation as a staff or a 2 handed mace or a one handed sword… unless you are a fury warrior.
And this is where things get busted in blizzard’s argument. ALL weapons have the same attack animation for fury warriors, you can equip a 1 handed swoed in your left and a 2 handed mace in the right and you will do the same attack animations for them, you can then swap them around and the animations are the same.
Blizzard’s weapon attack animation holds true for paladins, DKs and even arms warriors, polearms/staves have a stab/thrust attack animation while 2handed axes/sword/mace have a slashing animation. There was a point where you couldnt transmog a 2handed sword to look like a polearm or vice versa.
That said their logic falls completely to pieces when it comes to fury, ever since Cata or whatever expansion added Raging Blow it used the rogue double stab mutilate animation, it would even do it with 2x2handed maces not a weapon you traditionally stab with but that’s the animation it used, and every since fury has had the same attack animations regardless of the weapon type.
So there really isn’t anything stopping you transmogging one handers to look like 2 handers or vice versa except blizzard says so, fury proves it’s not an animation/technical issue.
At the very least make SMF just a bloody passive like Titan’s grip is like it used to be, spending a talent point for it (down from 2) is just a wasted point, especially since they never seem to quite get the balancing right, 2x2hander just always ends up on top.
They somehow have a better time balancing dual wield frost vs. 2 handed frost. Maybe get those guys to balance it.
Personally i’d prefer to transmog regardless of weapon type so the type of weapon you use is up to the player.
