I'm concerned about the poles breaking on this tent. What kind of warranty does North Face offer? Also should I be worried about the poles and the Fuzion Pitch system?

Actually, pole breaking is a reason why I decided to BUY a NF, tent. Have had no problems what so ever!

North Face offers a lifetime warranty, which covers any manufacturing defect but does not cover such things as running over your poles, 'sword' fights, or using them to pole vault. They also do not cover normal wear, accidents, etc. In other words, so long as the tent is used in the fashion a tent should be used, is properly maintained, and appropriate care is taken (e.g no sharp objects on the fabric), the tent should work as designed. And "Fusion" is just a fancy marketing term for the clip & sleeve pitch type, so you have both instead of just one. Nothing to worry about.
