No Bloodrage or Intercept in Arms or Fury at 38. Bloodrage most likely sits in the Protection tab, which was never opened. Intercept is trained at 30 in Classic, so its absence is the odd one; the demo capped characters at 38.
Retaliation: 15 min cooldown, Battle Stance, counterattacks up to 30 melee hits for 15 sec.
