These days a fury war with TF will never top charts. TF has bonus threat on the proc so they will be threat capped with lower damage than other warriors. People know how to gear a lot better than they did in retail days, you can hit the threat cap without TF (especially as horde).
Getting back on topic though...
If you only ever want to do DPS, roll rogue. If you like tanking, go fury.
Fury is a bit harder than Rogue because your rage generation is never 100% consistent and most of your DPS comes from short cooldowns that you have to manage. As Fury you are managing your cooldowns, your rage and your threat, all while trying to stay alive. As a Rogue, your energy generation is consistent so all you have to manage is your threat (while trying to stay alive), the rotation becomes second nature quickly. As a rogue you can also vanish to wipe your threat or use evasion, it's a lot more forgiving when you make mistakes. You are also a lot tougher than a fury warrior, with all the agi on your gear you have a good amount of dodge, fury warriors are all strength, hit and crit, often on leather gear. A lot of their gear doesn't even have stam.
