Execution is a tactic which is useful in longer battles, using skills and items which cause you to do more damage to enemies below a certain health threshold. There are a number of both passive and active skills that help with executing targets at low health. One useful strategy to have your primary damage abilities on one tab and an execute skill on the other, and switch over when the target's health drops below the threshold. Various addons exist which can alert you when the threshold has been passed.
