After playing with the new stone for a month or so, I've found that I almost always am able to max it out and keep it topped up by turn two. Granted, I've been lucky and have been going first a lot, but so far it seems like awaken the stone has gotten rid of the stone's fury crunch. I don't think that's what PP intended, but I'm not complaining.
I think there might be a potential unintended consequence for this though. The other day, I was short on fury starting my turn due to some arcane vortexes, and instead of cutting, I pulled off the stone and used awaken the stone to top it back up. This made me think the new rule might make a single Gargantuan battlegroup more viable. One of the big problems with it has always been if your king goes down, you're suddenly very fury strapped, but with awaken the stone you can now pull from the stone to keep yourself topped up if you lose your king. There's still the transfer problem, but that just requires some restraint.
I haven't actually tested it yet, but I'll give it a try in the next couple months and see how it goes.
