For sure the big thing is making it more user friends, easier on new players, so people just do it instead of having to learn it.
It could just be automatic, cuz I really don't think making a icon or turning the game into wow is a good idea.
I think a good solution may be to make it so that if you hold your attack up "like a charged attack would have been" that it "automatically" uses a power attack when you release the swing. This way if you just click on it, it does a fast attack, where as if you hold it up like a charged attack, it would release and use a power attack instead but without the loading bar.
This way if you quickly hit the button, its a quick hit, if you hold onto it, its a power hit.
