Prowl-Pounce-Mangle-Shred-FFF-Mangle to full combo points-Rip. Rinse, repeat. If you can get the FFF in before that, by all means, I just don't have quick fingers. Just make sure you Mangle before Shred.
At 58, assuming you're in Hellfire, you'll also get a lot of adds (damn boars). I just change to bear as soon as I have more than 2 on me, throwing on a Rejuv during the switch. Then it's pretty much Mangle-Swipe your little heart out, Barkskin-Regrowth-Rejuv as needed
Really? It never seemed worthwhile to me to wait til full combo points to Rip. Always seemed like the mob was
dead about the time I built to 5 points.
I typically went
1. Pounce
2. Mangle
3. Rake
4. Rip
5. Mangles til dead
I was pretty sure that this felt better than most other starters I tried, although I never crunched out whether Shred use would be wise. Bigger numbers certainly, but more damage-per-energy? I'm not sure.
Granted, when I was 58 my druid was:
1. Goldless (transferred 2 other chars off of that server and took all his money when they left)
2. Resto, and
3. had crappy gear
...so at first mobs
were living long enough for a 5-point Rip to be owrth it.
