In case the original gets wiped... credit for the original post (between the horizontal lines, please format any edits in that region) is due to Maureena from the official Beta forums.

Note: This is all theoretical work using numbers from Thottbott. I have not gone in game to confirm the numbers etc as I'm at work but I thought people might find this interesting. For weapons that base their damage off of your weapons dmg I gave 4 data sets to show how 1h weapons compare to 2h weapons with the ability. Also I don't know exactly which abilities can and can't crit and if some abilities ignore AC etc.
Bread and Butter Moves
Slam - weapon dmg + 87, 15 rage 1.5 cast. This gets interrupted like a caster so while the DPR looks amazing keep in mind its not terribly useful when you are getting hit and with the talent change this isn't really useful in pvp. Also further testing shows it now delays your next attack 1.5 second, which means its DPR is much lower than whats listed.
50 dmg - 137/15= 9.1 DPR
100 dmg - 187/15= 12.5 DPR
200 dmg - 287/15= 19.1 DPR
300 dmg - 387/15= 25.8 DPR
Mortal Strike - 2 times weapon dmg, 30 rage, 6 sec cooldown
50 dmg - 100/30= 3.3 DPR
100 dmg - 200/30= 6.7 DPR
200 dmg - 400/30= 13.3 DPR
300 dmg - 600/30= 20 DPR
Rend - 196 - 10 rage, 21 sec, cannot crit
[edit: 147/10=14.7 DPR without talent - Olon]
196/10=19.6 DPR
Heroic Strike - 124, 15 rage next attack, The bonus dmg DOES crit, my bad. Note heroic strike makes your next attack not generate rage, this generally costs you 5-15 additional rage so I included 4 DPS numbers for it.
124/15= 8.3 DPR
124/20= 6.2 DPR
124/25= 5.0 DPR
124/30= 4.1 DPR
Situational Skills
Revenge - 64-78, 5 rage, 5 sec cooldown, cannot crit?
64/5=12.8 DPR
78/5=15.6 DPR
12.8-15.6 DPR
Overpower - 100%+35 - 5 rage, 5 sec cool down.
50 dmg - 85/5= 17 DPR
100 dmg - 135/5= 27 DPR
200 dmg - 235/5= 47 DPR
300 dmg - 335/5= 67 DPR
Execute - 600+15 per rage, 15 rage, i think this can crit? [edit: yes it can - Olon]
600/15= 40 DPR + 15 DPR for each additional rage.
Area Effect moves
Thunder Clap - 62x4, 20 rage, cannot crit?
248/20= 12.4 DPR
124/20= 6.2 DPR
Whirlwind - weapon dmg x 4, 25 rage, 10 sec cooldown, can this crit?
50 dmg - 200/25= 8 DPR
100 dmg - 400/25= 16 DPR
200 dmg - 800/25= 32 DPR
300 dmg - 1200/25= 48 DPR
Cleave - weapon+50 to 2 targets, 20 rage, next attack. Like heroic strike this does not generate rage on a hit so the actual DPR's are worse than whats listed.
50 dmg - 200/20= 10 DPR
100 dmg - 300/20= 15 DPR
200 dmg - 500/20= 25 DPR
300 dmg = 700/20= 35 DPR
Sweeping Strike - 5 attacks, 30 rage, 30 sec cooldown
50 dmg - 250/30= 8.3 DPR
100 dmg - 500/30= 16.7 DPR
200 dmg - 1000/30= 33.3 DPR
300 dmg - 1500/30=50 DPR
Utility Moves
Hamstring - 45, 10 rage , cannot crit?
45/10 = 4.5 DPR
Shield Bash - 45, 10 rage 12 sec cooldown, cannot crit?
45/10 = 4.5 DPR
Concussion Blow - weapon dmg, 15 rage, 45 sec cooldown. This now happens instead of your next attack, it does not seem to generate rage. So realistically this ability has a negative DPR but the stun is still nice.
Intercept - 95, 15 rage, 30 sec cooldown, I imagine this can't crit?
95/15= 6.3 DPR
Mocking Blow - 93, 10 rage, 2 minute cooldown, cannot crit?
93/10 = 9.3 DPR
Final efficiency ranking (at highest skill rank):
1. Overpower (67 Damage Per Rage)
2. Sweeping Strikes (50 DPR) (vs. 2, more when stacked with other specials)
3. Whirlwind (48 DPR) (vs. 4)
4. Execute (40 DPR +15 DPR each addl rage)
5. Cleave (35 DPR) (vs. 2)

8. Rend (19.6 DPR)
.
.
9. Revenge (12.8-15.6 DPR)
10. Thunder Clap (12.3 DPR) (vs. 4)
