There are a few BoP LW items that are supposed to be for balance druids.
Windhawk Belt Windhawk Bracers Windhawk Hauberk For whatever reason, the LW Balance pieces are also the LW Resto pieces. If you take alchemy, your BoP crafted item is:
Alchemist's Stone If you take LW, you can make and use drums, even in cat/bear form. If you take alchemy, you can use Mad Alchemist's Potions (cheap health+mana potions that also give a random elixir buff).
I'm not balance, but if I was, I'd take Alchemy. I'm feral and I liked Herb/Alchemy up to the patch where druids could play drums in forms but not drink potions. And yes, I know I can macro drinking a potion when I'm in bear/cat, but I don't like dumping all my rage, triggering my GCD, and resetting my swing timer for ~3k health.
