Likely benefits based on the documented racial effects.

Berserking increases attack speed, while Beast Slaying increases damage against Beasts. The Beast bonus is useful only when fighting that creature type.

Berserking increases spellcasting speed by 10% for 15 seconds, giving a Mage a temporary casting-speed cooldown.
Priest
Berserking speeds up spellcasting for healing or damage. Hex of Weakness adds a healing-reduction effect against an enemy, a useful extra tool when opponents receive healing.
