Alright, I know there's a lot of posts on Warden vs Fury, but I want to know the specifics. Which one excels in DPS, healing, buffing, surviving? What are the key differences between the Warden and Fury classes? Also, which one is better suited for a duo with a Berserker?

Offense vs. Defense  (Fury/Warden) as far as buffs, etc are concerned.

Warden heals a bit better than Fury, Fury Damages a bit better than Warden.  In a duo with a Berserker (depending on his spec), Warden is better - you don't need as much DPS (the Zerker has it) and when the Zerker starts damaging, you want to be able to heal for a lot - cause they've got every monster in the zone glued to 'em. 

Thats as specific as I get...sorry..SMILEY   This whole forum is jam packed with exactly the information you are seeking.  Unless someone else wants to outline this for the billionth time for someone who doesn't want to search.

My one copper's worth is this:

An ex guild mate of mine, a berserker, 2-boxed with a fury whose sole purpose in life was to be personal healer for Mr Zerker. After a while, he betrayed the fury to Warden. That worked much better.

A good fury can really pump out some healing just as well as we can sometimes...  We wardens manage power better and are more efficient but when it comes to healing we are very close to one another.  In terms of DPS, solo without outside influences Furys are hands down better DPS'ers.  In the situation that you have equivalent gear.  Wardens get shafted, give us something that makes us stand out!!!

Yep, for two-boxing I would definitely pick Warden over Fury. Our heal procs (Spores, Nature's Boon) plus the tree are often enough to keep the tank alive, even without actively healing. Plus a melee Warden on auto-attack does a fair amount of damage. Sure a Fury does a lot more damage, but it consumes a lot of power and requires you to play the healer more actively.
