I was wondering if
this build is viable for soloing(i.e. farming and dailies) and raiding/doing heroics(i.e. off tanking and kitty DPSing)
Simply put: "No."
You're missing two talents that I've never seen a single feral druid not have or make a case for not having.
1: Feral Swiftness. It'll accelerate leveling/farming simply by cutting travel time in your combat form by 30%, and the ability to catch or escape mobs by being 30% faster is invaluable. +4% dodge in bear form is huge, too.
2: Feral Charge. You must have the ability to close quickly on mobs that are attacking your healer, and be able to quickly re-engage a boss that knocks you back. You can even kick it off while you're in midair and be back before you would have hit the ground.
I agree with Vaelorin (among many others) about Improved MoTW...read the thread about that on the main page right now.
Nature's Focus can be handy in PvP (I have a couple points in it myself for that) but not really a core/key talent for the PvE you describe because A)When soloing you can control your engagements and not need to be healing yourself all that much, and B)In heroics/raids you probably won't have time to heal yourself if you're getting wailed on by those hardhitting mobs anyway.
