Whirlwind is a Barbarian only combat ability which allows strikes on multiple targets within the weapon's range. With sufficient skill, Whirlwind has the ability to utilize dual wielding, making one attack with each weapon on everything within range.
It should be noted that there is a large defensive penalty associated with Whirlwind, making this maneuver dangerous to use at level. Many Barbarians feel that this move is intended to be a finishing move primarily, however when combined with our immobilizing Roar Wail of the Banshee, or the stunning Roar Lash of Torment, it can be a deadly mid-sequence attack.
There is also another use for Whirlwind, to remove oneself or others from webbing, whether it is a Ranger's web or a Moon Mage's Shadow Web.
Lastly, and perhaps of most use, Whirlwind will attempt an attack on anything within range, including unseen opponents. If timed right, it can be an effective deterrent against foes with superior hiding or invisibility.

One Hand Example:
Centering upon your scimitar, like the eye of a storm, you become a rapidly rotating column of death.
Your scimitar lands a very heavy hit to a red bear orc reiver's left arm!
The orc reiver is barely stunned!
Your scimitar lands a strong hit to a red bear orc reiver's right leg!
The orc reiver falls to the ground with a gutteral comment about your mother.
Your scimitar lands a strong hit to a red bear orc raider's left arm!
Your scimitar lands a very heavy hit to a red bear orc raider's chest!
The orc raider looks down with a faintly surprised expression before collapsing upon the ground.
[You're incredibly balanced]
