Some duo druid advice...please.Follow

Hello alll, I am new to the forums and only about a month into WoW. Anywho...I play a Warlock for solo'ing but my wife has started playing WoW and I am looking for a druid spec to level with her. We have been playing for a bit now, she is in love with her hunter and all the pretty pets she can raise. We are mid 20's already and I am currently using feral. I know feral is the way to go for soloing but honestly it seems a waste in this duo. My wife's pet tanks, so my bear form is rarely used, which means wasted talents, and to be honest, I seem to spend 50% or more of my time in caster mode healing/buffing and doing crowd control. We are going all out PvE and plan on mainly dou'ing as much content as we can(instances a couple levels lower than us so far).
So, anyways, to make a long story short, I was thinking a balance/resto combo would be better for us since I seem to be in caster mode most of the time anyways. What do you guys/gals think? I like my druid and the druid seems the best choice for duo'ing with a hunter but my feral build just feels lacking. Some recomendations please.

If you're not enjoying Feral don't keep it up. You could do a Resto or Resto/Balance spec as you suggest, particularly if you enjoy healing (will make it that much easier to fill in instance groups). While you're duoing with another person is a great time to experiment with specs that aren't often used for leveling. Especially duoing with a hunter - face it, she doesn't *really* need you there at all to level with relative ease. So you should play whatever seems fun to you. :)
