I swear I don't do this to be a smartass (that's just a nice side-benefit, lol) but you've noticed those links at the top of Emmerald's site, right? : )

That's what you need as far as a "list" but I suspect you're looking for a guide including "best value" pieces. I too was looking for a guide like that, similar to the one for tanking. Somebody did create a loose one that I think you can get to via the sticky, but it was couched in the logic that there's a lot more options/flexibility so you don't need a guide that's as well-formed as the one for tanking.
I know you don't like PvP, so if you're a leatherworker the Primalstrike set rocks the house for chest/belt/bracer slots. Staff of Natural Fury is a good quick way to gear your DPS way beyond your current level of progression, but it'll set ya back 1500g+ in the AH. I'd have other suggestions but have to get back to work. :)

PVP gear is great for dps. Feral DPS is good enough for 5 mans and beginner raids. I'm #1 on dps in kara, personally, but then again, my guild might suck.
For your gear, replace the greens, your chest, and for the love of god get a better weapon (again, pvp gear is great, even if you don't like doing pvp). You should be fine to dps any reg instance, and (depending on your group) maybe heroics. Make sure you are using the right rotation (rip > mangle > shred to 4 combo points > wait for 70 energy > repeat).

S1, S2, and the PvP blues waste some of their itemization on +healing. The non-set pieces are still good, though. Also, anything that's good for a rogue is fairly decent for us, although look for pieces with agi instead of crit rating if you have a choice.

Just a little side note... the Shadowprowlers chestguard is amazing for a dps set up to tier 6 ... and cheaper that the primal strike. Oh yeah and the 150 badge dps staff is INSANE for dps prolly the best dps staff available to ya at the moment.

It doesn't matter that the PvP gear wastes itemization on intellect, +heals, and resilience, the rest of it is still a hell of a lot better for dps than the quest blues/greens he has.
Just pointing out that it's not best in slot. And just off emmerald's list...
Helm of the Claw (quest blue) is better than Merciless Gladiator's Dragonhide
Expedition Scout Epaulets (quest blue) are less than 4 pts behind S2 (Wastewalker shoulders are actually better than S2, but I've never seen them drop). This is one slot that absolutely sucks for ferals, tanking or DPS. I'd actually seriously consider PvP gear here.
Shadowprowler's Chestguard (crafted epic) is between the 2 BoJ chests; all three are better than S2.
There are a lot of things better than S2 gloves, including Wastewalker gloves, which drop in Shattered Halls from the last boss.
And of course, there's Clefthoof Hide Leggings from Nagrand. These things are better than a lot of 70 epics, including: S1, S2, T4 (not counting set bonus), and the 2 epics that drop in heroics, Midnight Legguards and Forestwalker Kilt.

Not sure what level of progression you are at, but I thought that I would throw this in. The 2-piece set bonus for T4 is absolutely amazing for feral druids and especially dps in cat form. Grabbing both the helm and shoulders is a good choice as those will be the pieces that you will most likely keep untill T6 raiding.
