Damn you and your unknown quantities!
Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
Furor is kid of lame for feral and feral is forced to take a point in Furor, well PvE feral at least.

Did you happen to see that the 15% mana is now baked into Furor? Basically they swapped the intellect on furor for mana instead. So you can get the same bonus but you have to go into the feral tree, which I am guessing is a bad thing.
Ya they swapped the talents in one build, then swapped what they did in the next. Essentially making no change, form a resto point of view at least. The bummer about the 15% in feral means it could force a tri-spec, meaning things like moonglow and genesis are potentially out of reach. Neither are really series losses, but still tasty morsels, so I'm a little bummed.
But then again with Innervate based on mana pool, who knows. I could be an int. stacker in Cata anyway, and it wouldn't have mattered.
Edit:
To elaborate I kind of think of it this way. 6% intellect isn't going to provide you with anywhere near as much mana as 15% max mana. I'm not really clear on what they mean by 'max mana,' but I'm working under the assumption its base mana + mana from stats + mana from buffs, with intellect being the majority of the 'mana from stats.'
So lets assume +6% mana gives you about +5% mana max + spellpower. Now lets say that intellect gives you the spellpower equivalent of +5% mana (i.e. we value mana and throughput about equally). This would make the +6% intellect talent about 2/3 as good as +15% max mana talent. But there's a regen aspect too, replenish and innervate and stuff... so who knows... XD
Again all assumptions are suspect since it's beta and subject to change and what not. I just have a hunch the 15% max mana talent is going to edge more druids into something like a 5/3/33 versus 8/0/33 then 6% intellect would.

Glad to see the mana-free Wrath is still there though.

I'm disappointed that the only way they could make Pulverise relevant was to nerf Lacerate.
well, they buffed the initial application, so it makes it something that's not a waste to reapply. I'm going to go have to check to see if it scales with the Glyph. If so, AWESOME!

So any of you guys been playing with the builds lately?
I'm playing with something 0/3/38 for resto and 0/38/3 for a OT with kitty functionality.
As for resto, I'm not sure I can see taking Blessing of the Grove, as Rejuvenation seems to be taking a bit hit, and our set bonuses appear to be working off of LB now, so I have my doubts it'll scale well.
Perseverance, well I'd only take if we were having problems on some aura-ish fight.
The big debate I'm doing now is between Nature's Ward and Swift Rejuvenation. I put the points in Nature's Ward at the moment. Thought being when the fun stuff hits the fan I'd probably benefit more from a free RJ on me, then by spamming RJ on others. It seems like when everyone's health gets low Regrowth + Wild Growth is aiming to be the answer.
My impressions at least.
As for feral I'm not us to date as much on what's going on; so I'm kinda picking and choosing still.
Anyway, any one else tinkered a bit lately? thoughts?

They done fixed Mastery for for resto.
Is much more sensible and fits the HoT class theme.
How Rejuv interacts with Rejuv will be interesting.

I read a blue post somewhere saying that it wouldn't be affected by the increase as you are just refreshing the rejuv. If you rejuv, lifebloom then rejuv again though then it would I imagine.
lolferal just got easier.

They took out the Shred buff on Blessing of the Grove. Two more points available that you can then move around to suit your leanings; Primal Madness for maximum dps, pvp talents, Perseverance...
Hilarious.

I kind of like the Swiftmend to Efflorensence idea. Makes a little more sense then having like a 70-80% crit rate on Regrowth.

Primal Madness ends up being a wash as you lose the energy gained at the end of buff.
So you can still take Charge.
Feral is hands down the most retarded tree right now on the beta.

So Primal Madness gives an additional 20 energy on Tiger's Fury, but at the end of Tiger's Fury, if you have 20 energy, you lose them? Lawlawlawl.
Feral Charge is so much more useful then. If I had a dime for every time I've used Feral Charge in both Cat and Bear form, I'd be rich. Or, well, I'd probably have ten bucks, but still.
Edit: Why Predatory Strikes, Horse? Spamming Ravage as opener seems pretty inefficient, especially without the Imp. Feral Charge talent. Surely it's not for PvP utility?

One could argue for Predatory Strikes with Imp Feral Charge Stampede, but even that's a huge wash since you only get one Ravage for your trouble.

SwiftMend to efflorescence is an interesting change. I have a feeling it'll mean a heavy preference to swiftmending melee on CD, but I haven't looked at the mana costs for that. They also changed the radius back to 8 yards.

The more I think about it the more swiftmend makes a bit more sense. It accomplishes a couple of things.
-Removes and complications with multiple procs being overpowered.
-Gives us a good reason to use RJ (makes the pros/cons equation more complicated/interesting at least)
-Swiftmend in an emergency spell anyway, so we're probably going to be using it when efflorescence would be most effective.
-It's a nice buff to the spell that's supposed to be baseline for the spec.
Regrowth Crit -> proc, was just going to happen enough you could almost rely on it, but was pretty much going to not proc at least a couple of times in a bossfight. Seems like it would have been hard to rely on much.
I'll also join the chorus of people wondering if the crit rate on RG will come back to something a little more reasonable now.
Also big changes like this, this late in the process are a bit unsettling. I was kind of hoping they'd be adjusting things from like 20% to 30% about now, not still working on the more major mechanics.

This may have been said already but i've been looking on WoWstead's talent calculator for cataclysm talents and glyphs specifiacally for druid tanking and something seems to be missing...
Druid tanks have only 2 major glyphs that are of any use to them (unless druid tanks are expected to drop below 20% health before regrowth ticks stop in which case glyph of regrowth is imba for druid tanks)
Also after reading the first page i am resenting a few things. mostly the comment about tanks "hitting like women".

Frenzied Regen, Maul, and Thorns for threat perhaps?
I dunno, I haven't really got to looking much at glyphs much, as I was under the impression they were a lot less 'finished' then the talent trees.
Of course, my impressions mean little...

I don't think they're done with the glyphs yet.
Probably won't be glyphing Thorns, since Thorns pop you out of forms (OHAI DAR BOSS CRIT FOR 100K).

I have no idea if that's even viable or a good idea or anything, or even what the CD is on thorns nowadays. I was just looking at the list and trying to dream up something for slot three!

I don't see it on the list here at least. Again not that that means anything, bear isn't really my thing, I just can't stop speculating today for some reason...

To bed honest, in my opinion they should have each race having a different animal for each form for example.
Trolls: tanking form instead of being a bear be a mammoth or rhino, instead of cat form have raptor etc.
Tauren: Tanking form= Kodo, DPS form = Giant Cow (for lols)
