Double Time is highly recommended. Having two charges of your main gap closer helps you stick on target. Remember: Charge is a STUN in MoP, so this gives you more flexibility with micro CC.
Second Wind is the best option. It automatically heals you when below 35% HP and is unironically one of the best HoTs in the entire game.
Staggering Shout is the default pick - a semi-ranged root is great for uptime and peeling melee off teammates. Disrupting Shout is good when playing with a Mage or against low mobility casters.
Shockwave is the overwhelming majority pick - AoE stun gives you more control. Bladestorm is a niche pick against double DPS in 2v2, especially Rogues.
Safeguard is the default - gives teammates damage reduction AND acts as a root breaker. Mass Spell Reflection is good against casters where you dont need extra mobility.
Storm Bolt is locked - a ranged, almost unavoidable stun is too valuable as a Warrior.
