If you can hold out for 3 more levels, you can respec into Moonkin form and you get Innervate at 40. Without moonkin form, you're going to be taking a fair amount of damage if the mobs get close. And since we can't use wands, you either have to get close yourself, hope that the DoT from Root + IS + MF kills it, or cast Starfire/Wrath until it's dead and then wait for your mana regen to start.
This. I tried to level balance because I wasn't really into the feral thing. At lvl 32 I switched to feral for 8 levels. It really is that bad. You don't get the damage boost that you get from Moonkin and you take a HECK of a lot of damage.
I love my moonkin at 40 but before then? Frankly had I stayed balance to 40 I would have given up before I hit 40.
Stick it out for 3 levels as feral, struggle a tad with mana and your moonkin before you max dreamstate then enjoy.
