Yesterday, Jinjaah released the Developer Diary for Update 6’s Warg Revisions. For those who remember it wasn’t too long ago that Orion discussed a large number of these changes so most of the information has previously been released. However, it is good to have an “official” diary as it goes a bit further into detail about the new stances and skills that will be coming with the update.
To recap, this update will introduce two new stance, Shadow and Flayer. The Shadow Stance will be based mostly on stealth-based skills, while the Flayer Stance (which is replacing Shadow Howler) will be for those wargs who have been “…dying to charge in and ferociously rip their opponents apart while soaking up damage,”. Shadow Stance will be unlocked at Rank 1 while Slayer Stance will unlock at Rank 10. Both will share a 10-second cooldown. A number of skills are also being updated in order to accommodate the new stances.
For an in-depth analysis of the new skills and stances check out The Art of Warg blog by Mr. Warg who has done an excellent job in going over the new changes.

Usually you have to go back into stealth. So how would you still be shadow stance when your out of stealth attacking a freep?

The way it read (and I could be wrong) was that a lot of skills behaved as if you were in stealth. I think this means that they act as if you’re in stealth whether you are or not. I could be talking crazy though.

The skill “stealth” and the stance “shadow stance” are 2 separate things. You can toggle on shadow stance and then go in and out of stealth.

So, you don’t get the option to go full ‘zerker rage-mode Warg until rank 10? Looks like I’m not playing a warg at any time soon.
