[edit] Usage

Build up adrenaline by using Berserker Stance.
Use Dismember when it is ready.
Follow up with Virulence and Axe Rake (in either order, depending on which conditions you want covered.)
Use Executioner's Strike to deal additional damage.
Use Soul Feast as needed to gain health.
Use Plague Touch to rid yourself of troublesome conditions. This also allows you to use the conditions your enemies place on you against them, as you can Plague Touch an enemy to get rid of a condition and follow it up with Virulence if Dismember is not ready to use.
