So far we know that they won't be expanding the talent trees, but that with 5 additional levels and the "Path of the Titans" we should still be getting some goodies which may or may not include new abilities. So... What do you think would be a fun/useful new ability for warriors to have?
Arms: Rolling Throw - I have no idea if there's a Horde warrior in the Trial of the Champion, but the human warrior that you fight there has this really fun looking skill and seeing how he's a warrior... it'd be cool for us to have too. He basically grabs the target (should be the tank) and does what looks like a spinning powerbomb a few yards from where you were standing. The skill would basically work like a knockback with stun but keep the warrior right beside his target after it's executed. Fun for PVP, for PVE maybe it could a directly vertical version?
Fury: IMO since Fury has Bloodthirst and is supposed to be the "Berserker" mode of a warrior, it'd be nice if they gave Fury an ability that does more damage at the cost of HP in addition to Rage. Either that or something that increases in damage the lower one's HP gets, that'd be great for a berserker type class, basically doing more damage at the risk of dying midway through the fight.
Prot: As the class that truly uses the shield as physical protection, I think warriors need more defensive skills that make use of it. The way I think of it, something that'll emphasize that little niche of tanking.

Similar to OPs Rolling Throw, I would love to see a tackle. Defensive stance only. Small knockback, short stun, and a bit of damage if used within 2 seconds of a Charge or Intercept. Would work great for keeping single mobs or people off your squishies.
Also, an "Oh, $#^!" group knockback would be handy for tanking or solo questing. Low rage and high CD. Drop a Piercing Howl/Hamstring followed by the group knockback followed by a Challenging Shout to give your healers a couple seconds to pump you full of life. Or use just a Piercing Howl/Hamstring and then the group knockback to get some distance to run or charge back in.

Impales your target with both your weapons dealing 80% weapon damage, plus 5% for every bleed effect on the target. Applies Rend.
Using mutilate-animation with two-handers=awesomeness.

Predictions in terms of the trees new final talents:
The arms rotation is relatively complex already with plenty of buttons to push, so I'm predicting it'll get something either passive or essentially something like death wish (maybe "your attacks ignore enemy armour for the next 20 seconds, 3 minute cooldown").
Fury is a little lacking in pushable buttons, so maybe a short-ish cooldown ability (3-4 seconds?) to liven up the rotation.
Prot, like arms, already plenty of buttons to push. Wouldn't be surprised if prot got something similar to a cooldown version of ardent defender, possibly a bit like avatar from the WC3 games ("You become an avatar for 30 seconds, dealing 20% more damage and reducing damage taken by 10%. Attacks that would otherwise kill you while an avatar will cause you to be healed up to 50% of your maximum health, but remove the effect. 3 minute cooldown.")
New abilities... I reckon a next-attack ability with a cooldown that functions a lot like execute, leaving you with say 30 rage and dealing more damage the more it uses. A more powerful rage dump with say a 10-20 second cooldown.
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw an ability related to bleed damage, though can't really hazard at what that'll be for the moment.
One more, probably a utility ability (like spell reflect and enraged regen have been in the last two expansions). Too many options to pick from here, could be anything.

Blizz has stated they willl not be adding a new talent tier, and it is highly unlikely the final talents will change at all. Metzen announced on day one i believe that there will be no new tier.
They're massively shuffling talents around, removing things like hit chance, boring passive crap and so on, while there's no new tier, I figure they'll likely shuffle things to the extent we'll get new final abilities (or hell, even new abilities mid way up the tree).

Honestly? I would
kill
for some actual threat reduction. 10% with the kind of damage we'red capable of kicking out? And that only for fury? Please. It's not even close to enough. So many tanks have watched me die and gone "Erm...sorry. That was unexpected.."
Add a threat dump to that and I would be happy as a pig in s***.
Having said that, that Impale, heroic leap or berserker thing... I'd think "well, I'll be dead 3 sec after I use this...but I'll die with a smile on my face!"
