Tooltips: Wowhead Forever DB, exact matches only (build 70532, 28 Oct).

Wowhead wrote this while the beta was capped at 30, so it covers levelling. Level 60 picks are their projection [Unconfirmed]. Tested level 60 data: Not yet published, updated at launch.

Protection Warrior stacks Attack Power and Stamina: Forceful kits, Stamina chest, boots and shield, Frenzy potions and Strength food. Wowhead's author rates the food buff as the one must-buy, since it adds +5% kill XP.
