I'm only level 12, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about pulling a mob. Ever since I've picked up Bear form I'll just run up to a mob and kill it, then move onto the next. Is this the best method?
Nope. Bear form DPS sucks, that'd take moons. And if there's multiple mobs you're more likely to pull the whole group with your own presence in their midst, you'll have better luck peeling outliers away from the group with a damage spell.

Or should I use a ranged spell them Bear form when the mob gets close?
Yup. Root them from max range to stick them in one place, pop Moonfire on them, blast away with Wrath until they approach you, refresh Moonfire before shifting into bear form to finish the fight melee. If there's more than one of them, or if they're likely to be a tough fight for some other reason, pop a Rejuvenation and Nature's Grasp on yourself before popping into bear form.

P.S. Sidenote that really isn't one...I just leveled an alt to 20, and did it as balance for variety. In doing so I came to believe that speccing balance is good for the run from 11 to 20. Nature's Grasp is handy all the TIME at those low levels, and a .5 second faster wrath busts out more DPS in the above scenario, etc. My plan is to level as balance all the way for continued variety, but I think optimal leveling would be to sticking with balance until 24 (?) when I can simultaneously grab Feral Swiftness in the feral tree and train some of the first good cat form skills. All Just $.02 though.
