Do Warriors get new abilities in WoW: Forever?
Yes. Warriors get one new trained spell, Tactical Mastery at level 14, plus Victory Rush from the trainer at 20. Talents add Spearing Strike as the 16-point Arms milestone. It costs 15 Rage, has a 20-second cooldown and dismounts the target, per Blizzard's class deep dive.
Why does Slam have a cooldown now?
Every Slam rank in Forever has a 15-second cooldown, and the trainer adds an earlier rank 1 at level 20. Slam is no longer an ability you cast over and over. You use it on cooldown alongside your other attacks.
Do new Warrior ranks go on the action bar automatically?
New abilities do not. Blizzard's launch notes say newly learned spells are no longer placed on action bars for you, so drag each new ability onto your bar yourself. On the beta, a new rank of a Warrior ability that was already on your bar did replace the old rank automatically. Mana classes did not get that.
Where do Warriors train and change talents?
Any Warrior trainer sells the spell ranks. To change talents you have to visit a class trainer in a major city, and that includes your Legacy talents. Dual specialization opens at level 40. Wowhead reports the second talent tree costs 50 gold from the trainer.
Is Mortal Strike or Shield Slam on the trainer list?
Only their higher ranks are. The trainer sells Mortal Strike, Bloodthirst and Shield Slam ranks 2, 3 and 4 at levels 48, 54 and 60. To use them you need the matching talent ability first.
If you would rather skip the grind to those ranks, PewPewShop's vetted boosters can level your Warrior for you so you start at the level you want.
Talents are not taught by the trainer: plan them in the WoW: Forever talent calculator. For specs, talents and leveling, see the WoW: Forever Warrior guide.
