I do not own one but have seen Furies in action and heard comments from users and a Big B staffer. It goes much into notclay's direction - the solid Fury has a very strong/aggressive coverstock, and coupled with the OOB finish this ball needs heavy oil to perform at all. I guess Brunswick even designed the core with a medium RG and differential to push the ball better down the lane than a true low RG core like in the Infernos. If the ball does nor move, I'd bet that there is simply not enough oil out there and the ball burns up, rolling out and hitting weak. Taking the surface to a finer grit should help, though, or applying Rough Buff or polish.
The Fury Pearl is a pretty smooth pearl reactive. I was suprised when I saw it in action, seems easy to control. Probably the 4.000 grit finish keeps the ball from jumping around, I wonder what a true polish will make out of it...
About the Twisted Fury I cannot say much, except that I do not expect it to be that jumpy, too. A strong ball for medium conditions, yes, but it seems to be a sensible move away from the "95 out of 100" breakpoint shape balls that annoyed many players, like the Radical Inferno. The TF will surely be a bigger step down from the solid Fury, esp. if you have to tweak its surface to make it useable on mediums. In this case, there could IMHO be much overlap with the Fury Pearl.
Never heard so far about ball death.
