Tips and Tactics
Overpower is one of the cheapest Warrior abilities, and is incredibly rage-efficient, as well as causing a substantial amount of damage, especially when talented. It should be used at every opportunity.

Overpower deals more damage with a large, two-handed weapon, which is one of the reasons that Arms considers it a signature strike. Titan's Grip Fury warriors can get some great use out of it as well, but since it is only available in Battle Stance they must stance dance to use it. They also lack the Taste for Blood talent (see below).

Arms warriors use Overpower often, and should always take the talent Taste for Blood. In addition to allowing the use of Overpower every 6 seconds, like clockwork, it also gives a bonus 20/40/60% crit chance, meaning that most fully-talented Overpowers will be crits. Combined with Deep Wounds and Impale, this gives an Overpower a great chance of landing a critical which will deal 125% weapon damage plus 100%(crit) plus 20%(Impale), and 48% in bleed damage(Deep Wounds), making it the equivalent of 3.2 swings. With Glyph of Overpower and 3 stacks of the Lambs to the Slaughter debuff, Overpower's total crit damage is increased to 441% weapon damage.

Although Taste for Blood will only proc Overpower every 6 seconds, it is still possible to use Overpower more frequently than this in response to the warrior's target dodging.

Rogues are especially vulnerable to Overpower, as they rely on Dodge for much of their damage mitigation. Consider using Berserker Rage when fighting them to mitigate possible interruptions from Gouge.
