Wanted to throw down my opening rotation for anyone who wants to use their WAR. I'm not saying this is the most devastating, but it works for me.

I try to avoid really using a pull macro, or prepping for one; otherwise Xeno's 3-fell cleave opener is awesome. However, that requires prepping your stacks about 30-40 seconds before pull, and tbh, I'm not that patient. So here's my rotation using the 15-second pull macro that Josh uses:

"Pull Macro"
Raw Intuition (Stack 1)
Vengeance (Stack 2)
*wait about 6-7 seconds for MT to pull*
Bloodbath
Heavy Swing
Internal Release
Berserk (Stack 3)
Maim (Stack 4)
Brutal Swing
Strength Potion
Storm's Eye (Stack 5)
Fell Cleave
Fracture
Inuriate
Fell Cleave
Heavy Swing
Maim
*with 550 skill speed, this where Pacified usually takes effect*
Storm's Path
*This gets me two Fell Cleaves, and my Str pot wears off ~2 secs before Pacified*

If you wish to push the 3-Fell Cleave rotation:

First, make sure you and your MT get along and your not running out of dungeon time.

Infuriate (5 Stacks)
*Wait until 5 seconds remain on Stacks*
*Josh's 15-sec "Pull Macro"*
Raw Intuition (no stacks, but resets timer)
*Wait 6-7 secs for MT to pull*
Bloodbath
Brutal Swing
Heavy Swing
Fell Cleave #1
Berserk (Stack 1)
Strength Pot
Fracture
Heavy Swing
Vengeance (Stack 2
Maim (Stack 3)
Storm's Eye (Stack 4)
Heavy Swing
Maim (Stack 5)
Fell Cleave #2
Infuriate (5 Stacks)
Fell Cleave #3
Storm's Path (Stack 1)
Brutal Swing

Doing some math and wanted to post this here so I don't lose the info. Might be useful for any other aspiring WAR's too.

Difference in AP between axes:
i200 Parashu Awoken 256.856
i210 Parashu 262.556
i220 Sephirot axe w/ 2x crit 4 materia 306.065
i230 Hellfire axe w/ 2x crit 4 materia 309.382

Upgrading my axe to parashu isn't worth the eso's; holding out for sephirot axe definitely.
Don't see point in wasting lores on Hellfire other than the the VIT gain, lose a lot of det, gain speed, for 3.3 AP? Definitely save up for when I can buy and straight upgrade to i240, maybe. By time that happens, though, new relic quests will be out to push relics to i230-240, which would trump Hellfire, hands down.
