So You Wanna Raid...
#21
Some additional Warrior information, though it's not specific to the guild-related things the others are speaking about:

If you're in a tanking position and are at least 31 points deep into Protection, don't forget about Shield Slam. If your target already has five Sunders applied, your Revenge is still refreshing, and you find yourself with copious amounts of rage, use a Shield Slam or two. Shield Slam causes the most hate of ANY of our skills (even more than Revenge, though the Hate-per-Rage ratio is far lower), and can conceivably make a difference. Unless you're using a fast weapon (speaking of which, I'd deliberately choose a fast weapon like Annihilator or Silent Fang for tanking if you have points in Unbridled Wrath), Heroic Strike probably won't be able to be pumped fast and frequently enough to dump rage as quickly or efficiently as a Shield Slam will.

For Fury Warriors, see about finding a two-handed weapon with the highest possible damage range available (but don't go bankrupt doing so): The Nicker is an excellent choice, and reasonably easy to acquire in LBRS, and make sure you have Slam trained up. Dual wield (or use a FAST two-hander, depending on your specific build) to generate a significant amount of rage, and then burn it via Slam spamming. It can inflict extremely large amounts of damage in a short amount of time, and with much less hate than by spamming Heroic Strikes. Switch back to your rage-building setup, and repeat. If you (and your raid doesn't mind it) don't mind dying a horrible death, you can inflict a ridiculous amount of damage in a VERY short amount of time (and pull an ungodly amount of aggro in the process) on bosses that have hit the magic 20% mark. Tap Recklessness and Death Wish, and Execute with your current rage. Immediately hit Berserker Rage, and Execute that rage. Tap Bloodrage, and Execute with that rage. If you're somehow inexplicably alive after that trio of blows, Execute the remaining ten from Bloodrage's bled in portion, and any remaining. You can do truly obscene amounts of damage with this combination (20000 or more isn't impossible, depending on how well your MT can contain aggro from you), but it WILL disrupt the MT's aggro. It's fun to do, but don't do it during your first few times, or else you may find yourself not returning :)

For Arms Warriors, it's basically the same as anything else: build up rage, Mortal Strike, and Execute when low. Simple, quick, and efficient. It won't do as much as a competent Fury Warrior's output, but it's much harder to screw up with this pattern of attack.

EDIT: Clarification.
