"Could resto's just give it up for a better talent betting on ferals to gift the raid instead, or is the extra 2% stats going to be the best thing they can pick up for the stats anyway?"
There is no better talent to choose from that low in the tree for resto druids already, and that's before the stat buff. Hell, that low in the tree restos are already forced into taking the meh worthy nature's focus, because Furor offers no benefits to trees.
The change really will have no affect on Resto specs.
