Why didn't they give us bloodrage instead of whirlwind baseline?

Makes no sense, bloodrage was an iconic part of warriors, and whirlwind is useless for prot. Bloodrage would make sense for all 3 specs and also be useful in a lot of situations where you need some quick rage, or before pulls.

It was in the game for barely a third of it’s lifespan, and that’s including beta.

It is a PvP talent.

Bloodrage is iconic for warriors the way Rebecca Black is iconic in modern music. It was literally nothing except “press button, make rage.” We have lots of those now, except they’re better and more interesting.

I also remember being raged started for Most of its lifespan too, that or drinking powerthirst and had so much rage that i wore off the number on my heroic strike button.

I still used it on CD.
