So what spec's have you run with, and what's your favorite?
Overall, my absolute favorite was a basic Moonkin build. I ran with a 37 / 0 / 14 build pre-BC (Up to over 650 spell damage at 70 - One of two raiding Boomkin on Cenarius before BC), and continued that onto post-BC. Ended up shifting to a hybrid spec that I'm in now (Armory Imabug on Cenarius).
But of all the Druid spec's out there, I've been full Balance, Hybrid Feral / Resto, Full Feral, full Resto, Dreamstate, modified Dreamstate, my current hybrid, and a few test builds, ranging from a PvP hybrid of 45 / 11 / 5, to a 40 / 0 / 21, 21 / 0 / 40, and a few others.
The flexibility I bring in a raid, 5 man, or even 10 man is fun, though. Being able to go from a full DPS'er in Kara (Not ungodly DPS, but enough to be decent) to a fulltime healer is amazing. Especially when we need to evaluate new applicants, we usually just toy around in Kara. So I usually get drug along if it's a Druid, and either heal or blow stuff up. Not to mention, I have nice upsides in 5 mans when we need a backup DPS'er or healer, I can fill either role.
Not to mention the fact that it's one of my own personal builds, I think. Not saying noone else has used it or an idea like it, but the fact that you don't see too many hyrbids dig up Swiftmend, but go deep enough into Balance for Moonglow / etc. It's not a 'common' raid build, but so far, it's working ;)
Not as much fun as my pre-BC Boomkin (How many out there actually did this, seriously?), but eh. Anyone else have a spec to share, or any spec's they personally enjoy?

I have a 61 moonkin build, I think it's pretty awesome! My high mana level meant that I could also heal pretty well as I was coming up through the ranks if needed.
I also have a 40 feral build and there's nothing quite like ripping the hell out of some poor caster in cat form hehehe!
Druid's rock!

Specced 43/0/18 down into treants and intensity in resto tree. Got average 500 spelldmg and nearly 25% crit with aura and talents. I'm loving it atm. The damage I can dish out with IS, MF, wrath and shortened starfire is truly amazing coupled with 20% reduced threat.

Feral's my forte. I love tearing stuff up or eating damage :o
The baseline Feral build is something like this:

.
The extra 7 points can go into anything that would properly accomodate to your playstyle. Personally, I'm a big fan of something along these lines for well rounded PVE and PVP utility:

At least until you can hit armor cap without Thick Hide.

am feral, but leeching gear to go oomkin, have about 600 spelldamage unbuffed but way too low on health wich i will need since i intend to pvp. cba to farm honor :p anyway. feral is versatile enough for me, since its easiest to find grps for heroic as tank or healer. and resto aint that good unless u raid as well / do the arena :P

Druid was my first real character, I always enjoyed being resto but leveling as feral was a blast when tbc came out.... don't play mine anymore though - sadface.

I recently rerolled a Tauren Druid on an RP realm, and I love it! Not only have I made friends quickly on my new realm, but playing a Druid is a much need variation from my Mage.
I'm currently in the process of leveling, and, surprise surprise!, I'm leveling as Feral. It's quite enjoyable, and, as I said, much different from my Mage. I like the possibility of being able to both melee DPS in Cat, and Tank in Bear! I also find myself doing a lot more of the mid-level dungeons, since the biggest problem at those levels is finding a tank, since very few Warriors or Paladins (well, not sure about Palas...) level as Prot.
Anyways, once I hit L70, I'm not sure what to do. I've heard that Moonkin is awsome for PvP, but the thing is, I'm kinda tired of casters. As for Resto, I've always enjoyed healing (leveled a Priest to 40 something, Holy style!), and Resto Druids seem to have a very unique style of healing (HoTs!). But on the other hand, the way I figure it is that I'll be able to get more groups if I stick to Feral, since everyone wants a Tank!
Anyways,
this is the build
I was thinking of using, just not quite sure where to put the last 3 points. Any imput would be hugely appreciated!

Hm, you're right, I did miss that part... Yes, I do PvP quite a bit, but I tend to focus on PvE. I'm kinda stuck between Nature's Grasp, Primal Tenacity and Natural Shapeshifter...
