Functionality
Warrior ability available only in 
[Berserker Stance]. It uses a Charge-like animation, but it stuns the target for three seconds, and it costs Rage instead of generating it. Intercept, like 
[Charge] and ranged weapons has a minimum range as well as a maximum. Intercept will auto-target the enemy so you don't have to even be facing them. This is most useful for when a mage blinks or when your opponent attempts to run away or otherwise get out of melee range. Keep in mind that, unlike Charge, Intercept can be used in combat.
A warrior cannot do much damage unless they are in melee range. Most other classes want to stay out of a warrior's reach. Because of this, Intercept is perhaps the most important warrior ability. As it is only usable once every 30 seconds, the talent [Improved Intercept] is extremely useful to reduce the cooldown to 20 seconds. This makes it possible to Intercept nearly every time a mage blinks (once per 15 seconds). Also, set bonuses for 4 pieces of level 70 PvP gear aditionally reduce Intercept cooldown by 5 seconds.
Intercept is also one of the few ways a warrior has to interrupt spell casters. 
[Shield Bash] and 
[Pummel] are the others, along with some possibilities created by talents. With these three abilities, you can effectively keep a caster from casting any long duration spell. Some casting mobs root you to the ground before stepping back and starting their cast: they'll usually go far enough to be out of melee range, but not enough to intercept them; therefore you may have to step back as soon as the root effect ends to get out of the minimum range and use intercept.
Intercept is also a Felguard ability which costs mana instead of rage.
