My arms warrior-less kitty just did a backflip.

Wow I didn't see this coming.

Kitty just had an accident on the carpet, is so happy... :D

Correct, Trauma is the same debuff and we could instead use that 34/40 energy toward another Shred.

Mangle is our 2nd highest TPR attack, behind Maul.

Edit: This of course isn't counting FFF, which costs no rage at all.

Edit2: You also have to realize that Mangle is also technically a gateway to buffing Shred itself. It used to be that the actual Mangle debuff granted bonus damage to Shred, then they changed it so it would homogenize with Trauma to say "stuff that buffs bleed damage will also buff Shred damage". The buff has been part of the class since day 1*, and while it's turned out that having an Arms Warrior applying it is far more optimal than a kitty Druid, the fact that only two classes bring the buff to the table leaves me feeling that it's a warranted application of the points.

What would you replace it with? Imp. Leader of the Pack?

I've always had FI in my DPS build o.o;

Clicky

I'll probably move the imp mangle points to feral charge and NI.

I don't pvp.

You can now have 3/3 Feral Instinct, 5/5 Feral Aggression, 2/2 Imp LotP. Or you can throw in Savage Instinct or Infected Wounds. Basically it gives us a little more flexibilty with our specs.

You must be kidding. Kitty dps wasn't high enough?

Actually, I fear this is the beginning of the idiotification of kitty dps. It's one of the few things in game that you can't really faceroll and it just got simpler. I mean, my dps is gonna go through the roof so I can't really complain, but I have my concerns.
