Warrior talent changes from Classic to Forever

Classic Era gave the Warrior 52 talents. Forever keeps 42 of them — 7 word for word, 30 with a rewritten tooltip, 3 with the same sentence and different numbers and 1 differing only in capitalisation or punctuation — and renames 2, changes the rank count of 3, adds 10 new talents and leaves 10 out of the trees. Protection moved most: 3 new, 15 changed, 3 gone and 0 left exactly as in Classic. Each line below was read from the two clients and compared rank for rank; nothing is taken from patch notes.
