Keep in mind that these values fluctuate and the best gear actually available to you may cause you to optimize differently. Stats ExplainedStrength

Critical Strike: Increases auto-attack rage generation, as well as damage done by abilities, auto attacks, and trinkets. It is the most important stat for reducing downtime in the rotation.

Haste: Compresses the rotation by reducing the GCD and the cooldown of the rotational abilities Mortal Strike, Skullsplitter, and Cleave. The stats value frequently fluctuates with that of Critical Strike.

Mastery: Increases all damage done by Warrior abilities and attacks, though it does not affect outside sources of damage such as trinkets, potions, or enchantments.

Versatility: Increases damage and reduces damage taken by half. Unlike Mastery, however, it affects all damage done including trinkets, potions, and enchantments.

Critical Strike - Above 1380 rating

Haste - Above 1320 rating

Mastery - Above 1380 rating

Versatility - Above 1620 rating

Example
Let's assume you gain 1% Haste for 10 Haste Rating. When above the diminishing return breakpoint, 10 Haste Rating would give you 0.9% Haste instead, resulting in a 10% reduction from what you gained previously.

You’re updating this too soon, some of us are still working on mage tower and need to refer to these guides. Also the sidebar says this is for patch 7.3.5 but you’ve updated the guide to 8.0.

I would love to see an update asap, since Blizz changed how mastery works!

What about stats as non Venthyr?

Heads up the Pawn string is currently not working when imported, see fixed string below:

( Pawn: v1: "Arms - ST": Class=Warrior, Spec=Arms, CritRating=3.59, Dps=28.41, Strength=5.47, HasteRating=3.89, MasteryRating=3.51, Versatility=3.59 )

Guide is wrong about secondary stats. Skullsplitter CD is no longer effected by haste.
