Wow. Just.... wow.
Most of you might not know me because I've never posted on this side of the alla forums. Although I've always loved the druid class, I never really could get "into" one. Leveled one to 37 and it stayed there. Leveled one on another (PvP) server with friends who all quit that server, meaning that toon never got past lvl 37 as well. After leveling a rogue to 70, I had enough of leveling as an energy based class for like, ever, and leveling as boomkin took a lot of drinking without innervate or good gear.
Fast-forward to now and the LFG channel. I've leveled my druid exclusively through dungeons and he's now sitting at 52 and more than holding my attention. Groups now are usually really well geared at the most, and have at least 2 well geared players at the least. They really fly by, and I can't wait to do strat and other instances I've never ever done with a group. I'm already in full blues and one trinket, shoulders, chest, and staff from BoAs, and I've found someone with +30SP to weapon on my realm. Glorious!
Yesterday, I make the decision that I really don't want to tank on him anymore(my main is a warrior tank) and would like to see what treeform has to offer. I re-talent my feral spec into resto, and re-talent my boomkin spec from heals/DPS into as pure a hurricane(just got rank 2 at 50) spec. I throw two talents into the +30% reduction in threat and give it a whirl. I join randoms and am sent into BRD. They have a key, and they've gone straight to the big rock boss first and wiped there. I run in, rez, and we are on our way. The tank is a bit overzealous on the pulls, pulling 2 groups at a time usually, and not taking notice to any pats. I hurricane after he's got good aggro, and hurricane again when its done.
What proceeds is the warlock posting his recount directly after, with me pulling 1k DPS. That's right, it's over 900.0!!!! Through the rest of the instance, my DPS is hovering around 700DPS thanks to a good healer and again, that overzealous tank. Aggro was never really an issue.
Afterwards, I joined another group and got thrown in as healer. I asked the tank if he wanted to play "kill my mana". I never went below 50% and never needed to innervate, even through constant chain pulls.
So right now, I'm happy to say that druids absolutely rock. One more level for trees, one more level after that for typhoon. Druids! *goes kitty form* Theeeeeeyyyy're GREAT!

I totally agree with you. I have an 80 DK tht I am trying to get into raids so I can see the Lich King and an 80 Hunter who isn't doing anything but crafting...he was raiding at 70, loved it, then they changed the whole spec and I didn't like it at first, got into DK, loved it, got my Hunter to 80 and still was like...bleh, I like how DK's more than I like how the Hunter plays now.
My Druid is 54 dual specced for Heals (Tree) and Feral DPS and I am loving it, looking forward to playing my Druid is really all that keeps me into WoW right now since endlessly running Heroics on my DK got kind of old really fast, but I do all of the IC dailies to get Crusader Seals for Heirloom items.
Anyway, good to hear that you are loving Druids, you'll grow to hate BRD as that's the only dungeon you'll be getting into at these levels other than possibly the Sunken Temple which also sucks, but whatever, it's easy to do just gets really old, and healing with the proper gear at these levels when the tank is doing it right and surviving is really simple.
I think I'm just going to go ahead and switch specs to Boomkin because I'm sick of Feral DPS..I just dont' like it, fights don't last long enough to really get the most out of it ever with all the debuffs to watch and apply and rotate...just annoying, think that's why I don't like Hunter anymore either, too much watching and not enough doing...I wana blow stuff up. YAY BOOMKIN....
Thanks, now I'm all excited to get onto my Druid and respec him as soon as I get online today, haven't played for a week because I just moved into a new house and had no internet, which was niec because I got to play through Darksiders...which is awesome.
Yay random fun rambling posts....

Druids are so much fun once you slog through those first 40-50 levels or so. They finally start getting some nice talents, and really come together as a class.
Enjoy the ride! :D

So I got my internet back last Thursday and respecced that night and played through BRD from the LFD system as a lvl 54-55 Boomkin (I dinged mid run) and absolutely loved it.
The DPS rotation is nice and easy really (don't have eclipse yet, retarded leveling talent IMO) and my DPS is like 150 more than it was when I was Feral, plus if things get tough I can switch to heals easily because I'm in caster gear so the heals do a lot and I have tons of mana so no worries.
Why don't more people do it this way now? leveling seems to be so much faster now with the new LFD system so the "fastest grinding/ leveling spec" days are over don't you think? which is nice. I don't know, I just prefer it this way, because I'm leveling without even realizing how much time has gone by, I'm getting geared up and getting group experience in my spec which is invaluable.
How can anyone have any valid arguments against not using your favorite spec to level anymore? I'm having so much fun with my dual specced Tree/Boomkin Druid right now it's ridiculous.
Druids rock!
