Glyph of Moonfire and glypf of Starfire are a good pair for Balance (Moonfire has it's first hit reduced 90% but dot damage increased by 75%, Starfire gives 3 seconds to Moonfire's duration every hit (Being nerfed in beta to increasing the dot by 3 seconds for a max of 9 increased seconds))

though since I've been running a lot of H Magisters for the mount and now that I have a usable CC, I've got glyph of roots.

Haven't got any minor glyphs yet, mainly because the cheapest is +50% swim speed in aqua form for 40g with all others 80g+.

as a feral dps build i got the thorns cause i hate that 10 min timer , the heal but i wonder if it make mana vs heal makes sense , mark for the reduced mana and of coarse shred. I bought the ones for tanking also but we'll see if i use them. anyone else have any other uses i havent mentioned.

There is a healing touch one, think its a minor, but not sure.
Either way it turns healing touch into a 1.5 sec cast spell.
With moonskin haste and some haste gear its a 1.38 cast for me in moonskin.

MMO-Champion list Scroll down to see Glyph list.

That link might help you get a feel for all your options. It really depends on how you want to play your abilities.

I personally went (as Boomkin)
Major:
-Glyph of Rebirth: 100% to rezed player. Since I'll be raiding as moonkin, I figured I'll be changing out for combat rez's more than our ToLs and Ferals... might as well give them their moneys worth lol (As a Warrior raider, I personally HATE getting combat rez only to die to a stupid AoE move lol)

-Glyph of Starfire: to me more helpful in raiding IMO.

Minor:
-Glyph of the Wild: lowers mp cost, eh not great, but best I've seen.
-Glyph of Thorns: I hated the 10 minute recast, 1 hour...now we're talking.
-Glyph of Unburdened Rebirth: Call me cheap, but not needing a regent for this is great, wish it was Glyph of Unburdened Wild.

That's what I'm currently using =D

Right now, Glyph of Insect Swarm and Glyph of Moonfire. When I hit 80 add in the Glyph of Starfire.

For the minor glyphs I use thorns, rebirth and will be using dash when someone on my server discovers it.

I kindda wish they would make one for Cyclone. Maybe from 6 seconds to 10/15 CC... make it a little more viable as a CC form.

Maul and Rip. With Frenzied Regeneration one to follow at 80.

Minors are too pricey still waiting for the market to settle down. Not sure which ones I will get yet. Reagent ones I would think.

Hoping glyphs will save when they do this dual spec thing. I want to do 70-74ish as a Crit-chicken.

The only glyph I've seen at a price I felt like paying is the Rake one, and I like it a lot. Preventing opponents from fleeing is supercool in PvP, and can be handy sometimes with runners in PvE. (even though high-probability talent-fueled FB crits tend to eliminate that necessity)

Now I just have to respec back to get Berserk so once I keep 'em from running I can open a can of bursty manglespam whoopass to burn down that pesky last little bit of HP I ALWAYS seem to have trouble with.

I swear half of my arena losses last night featured a frustrating almost-got-his-*** situation. That or getting chain-feared and dotted to death which Berserk's fear break and Primal Tenacity would both help with. (I was specc'd for instance DPS at the time...did well enough at arena for a change that I'm kinda anxious to do some research on the best feral arena build.)

I read that they are planning to have glyphs saved with dual-spec.

Feral dps here,

I chose for major: shred and rip, no clue yet for 80 (might be new ones anyway).
I chose for minor: aquatic form (I travel quite a lot through waters avoiding mobs when needed) and thorns (not much better for me at the moment. Rebirth to follow, freeing a bag slot.

I think I have the following glyphs....(I am a raiding Tank)

Major
Glyph of Frenzied Regen
Glyph of Maul

Minor
Glyph of Thorns


On a side note, My brother(resto druid) has the Glyph of Rebirth(res someone with 100% hp) and it's deffinetly not working.

Glyph of rebirth, as I understand it, just doubles the amount of health they get rezzed with. 6400 instead of 3200, I should think.

I got glyph of maul and glyph of frenzied regen, because I tank. Glyph of maul is absolutely rediculous. Arms warriors are now my new best friend. With their mangle (I don't remember what it is called) and deep wounds bleed debuff, I don't even have to switch to an off-target, just watch those 2500 maul crits hit it. Sexy.

That's correct....the tooltip says the glyph "Increases the amount of health on a character brought back to life via Rebirth by 100%." That means it doubles it, not that it returns 'em with full health.
