All classes are boring to start with, but none quite as excruciatingly so as warrior. At what level do things really take off? For example, I'm leveling a demonology warlock and things were OKAY until level 30. At which point I got Demonic Core and turned into a turbo-summoner on crack. Do warriors have a magic level like this?
Alternatively, would you say there's a "if you don't like it by level X, you never will" point?
It's pretty subjective, honestly, and there isn't really a magic number. Classes and specs are not at all complete until you get to level 100 and have access to every talent, so it's hard to know for sure until then, but that is a big time investment just to find out that you don't like it.
Also, specs tend to play differently when you're leveling, doing a dungeon or raid, and PVPing. So, while you may not enjoy leveling a particular spec, you might enjoy it once you start doing higher level content on it.
If you really aren't enjoying it now, then I wouldn't force yourself to play it, maybe it just isn't for you. Alternatively, you could try watching people play it in videos or streams to try and get a better idea.

I'm leveling my 3rd warrior, first time playing low levels on one in a long time. I made a Mag'har orc so started at 20 and first couple of levels were a bit awkward (no interrupt, no slow, no stun, just a few damage moves and charge).
At level 24 I have sweeping strikes (cleave) and pummel (interrupt) and I'm having fun in BGs now. It just gets better with hamstring and a stun around level 30.
You do need to embrace the warrior mindset. Death or glory. You will die a lot. Accept your inevitable death. Now charge, and beat the !@#$ out of them before you die. If you don't die, do it again.
Eventually you'll get some gear and a healer will take pity on you and you can be a battleground terror, but until then, just deal with the cards as their dealt and enjoy the kills you get. I take special pleasure in killing ranged classes because they all kite you to death with instant spam slows and bull%^-* and generally act like cowards so it feels good to stick your axe through their head from time to time.

Death or glory.
There is no glory without death...unless you kill a Shaman. Shaman deaths are always glorious.

Show me on the doll where the bad man touched you, lol. With good procs, enh can melt anyone, they just need to be on top of defense very early on.
As soon as you get charge.
Level 1

I try to give any new class up to level 20 before I decide if I like it.

When you get beyblade and spin to win.
When you see the low ilvl DH doing more dps than you. It's fun. Sad but fun.

Crixalicious is, from what I can see, a good player, and is regularly purple for his Ilvl.
Vanares isn't far behind, typically high blues to purple for his ilvl.
You're consistently green/grey for ilvl. It's not because of their class or spec that they beat you.

It's a discredit to those two, and misleading to anyone who reads this, to leave out these details They're pretty good.
You're not.

I was not talking about them. Coward.
Just make sure you camp their corpse until they release so you don't miss the Ankh > Execute opportunity to send them back to the grave properly.11/04/2018 09:17 PMPosted by NokiafoneDeath or glory.

So I stuck with it and found that for Arms at least, the answer is 34. Tactician makes the gameplay really take off. Prior to that it feels like you're just doing filler until the execute phase.
When you get charge.
Warrior's get really fun at level 40 when you can get the talent mortal strike for Arms, or Bloodthirst for Fury, or Shield Slam for Prot.
It really makes the game-play a lot more enjoyable then only using heroic strike as an offensive rage dump. It also is nice cause it is a separate ability not tied to your auto attack so you can do mortal strike + heroic strike at the same time !

You forgot to take off your rose - tinted goggles before typing that.
