leveling spec in WotLK?Follow

so what spec does everyone plan on leveling in WotLK? I've been gearing resto, but think I'm going to start gearing for feral for the expansion.

I may be doing balance also. I have leveled 1-70 as feral, since I turned 70 few months ago, I've been mostly resto. I never really tried balance yet!

BOOMKIN lvled most the way to 70 as boomkin cept maybe 10 lvls besides lvls 1-10.

Just wondering...why would you start gearing up for WotLK leveling in a new spec now? I was new to the game and not capped at 60 when TBC came out, but based on what I heard, and assuming this x-pack is anything like the last one, then level 71-73 green drops and quest rewards will be super easy to come by and kick *** on level 70 epics you'd have to grind or farm for today.

And since large numbers of people/toons will be running the same quests and instances for a while, I'd think you could level quite quickly as a healer off the bat, maybe grab feral drops and rewards in the low 70s to do some fast furball leveling through the mid-70s, then settle in to collect whatever spec-oriented gear you expect to use in the new end-game when you get to 77 or so.

I'm just thinkin' out loud here...

The big question, is with the new talents coming out in a patch before the expansion (like they did pre-BC) how will we spec at 70 until the XPac comes out??

So many talents to choose from! Last time we had to give up OOC to get Mangle, but mangle was amazing! This time, the decisions are harder.

I'm thinking of something like this.

Was 1-60 as Balance, was 60-70 as Balance, once again Moonkin be the way for me :)

EDIT: At this point in time, I'll probably go http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?druid=000000000000000000000000000230023010000000000000000005120220125331331012035101030

but I'll respec first to try Typhoon and Starfall, see what they're like. Planning on getting Starfall at this point eventually.

I'm going with the PMS build because hopefully I will be doing many instances between the patch & WotLK as well as instances while leveling. May as well start getting used to the rotations I will be playing once I hit 80.
