What's still missing

This class isn't complete yet: here's precisely what hasn't been sourced yet, rather than leaving it silent.

Heroic Strike's low-rank values (the rank actually trainable by level 20, not the level-60 max rank already recorded below): not yet looked up. Icy Veins' own level-20 guide says to generally avoid it while leveling (Rage-inefficient at that stage), so this is low priority.
Charge Rank 2/3's own level requirements weren't checked (Rank 1, level 4, is recorded below) -- low priority, since Charge can't be used in combat at all, so it only ever contributes one small Rage tick at the very start of a sustained single-target fight.
Cleave (AoE rage-dump, off-topic for single-target modeling but needed if multi-target is ever modeled): not looked up.
Battle Shout's exact level-20-trainable rank: rank 1 (wowhead_spell_id 6673, +12 AP) is recorded below and confirmed "Requires level 1", so it likely stays rank 1 through level 20 -- but this wasn't cross-checked against the other 6 ranks' own level requirements to confirm no earlier rank than max is trainable before 20.
Sunder Armor's real DPS value can't be computed yet: needs a sourced armor-mitigation formula and a real target armor value, neither looked up.
"talents.arms" and "talents.protection" are empty placeholders, not yet populated -- relevant since a Fury build can still spend points in Arms (e.g. Improved Heroic Strike), and this file should end up covering the whole class, not just the Fury tree.

See also: the DPS simulator and character optimizer use this same data.
