Narrative:
Wake turbulence occurrence on arrival to atl. Approach control told us that we were in trail of a heavy airbus; and a B-767...caution wake turbulence. IMC conditions; and ATC kept slowing us (apparently to gain more separation). Our altitude was 10;000; as I recall. The aircraft transitioned from smooth flight to 10 degrees nose up; and 20 degree left bank within a second; then immediately to 10 degrees nose down and 30 degrees right bank. It took full left aileron to stop the bank and begin to transition back to straight and level flight. No injuries; and the passengers were not overly concerned.
