hard to tell until we know the specifics of the new monster power levels. if they simply increase their hp, then all out damge. if they also increase their punch, then more defensive builds might be better, maybe even block.
without using the new power levels, the damage nerf and nerf to warcry probably mean that alot more people skip warcry for rend.
Then would people switch from dual-wield to 2-handed because of this? I dunno about 1.0.5 but for the current patch, I've personally tried Rend I don't find dw as effective as using a 2-hander to do it, damage is some what a little too low for my taste, conversely, I find Revenge a much better skill to substitute as a dual-wielder than Rend.
I am thinking of Leap since the armour bonus increases with the number of mob hits, or Overpower (Killing Spree) for more crit chance,
