No Primal Tenacity? (less Fear-duration and damage while stunned)
Last time I heard, that talent was designed to work in Cat Form only. Did they change that?
All in all, a very nice guide! Good work. One thing: Probably the best hybrid feral build is
THIS one. With a talent point left for personal taste (LOL). The basic idea is that a feral that wants to do good DPS and be able to off tank well, needs the extra two core tanking stats only - Natural Reaction and Protector of the Pack. Other than that, it's all out DPS talents. Oh, and Feral Charge... ntz ntz ntz... That is a MUST for any respectable feral!
Spelling corrections:
I noticed somewhere you said 'better
then any other class' - the correct spelling is '
than'.
Also I noticed (can't pinpoint it right now) that you said 'there' instead of 'their' in constructions such as 'what can they do to improve
their survivability'.

Primal Tenacity? Aren't you thinking of
Predatory Instincts?
For a more balanced raid dps, with extra survivability
use this specHuh?
Brutal Impact instead of
Nurturing Instinct? Brutal Impact is perhaps wonderful for soloing, but in a raid-setting, it's close to useless, no?
Survivability and designed very specifically towards Main Tanking only got more generalised tanking builds see Hybrid builds below
This sentence is a bit mangled.
*last edit*
And you forgot to change the recommandation about Glyphs. You're recommending the Major Rebirth-glyph (which increases health/mana resurrected with) and not the minor one (which removes reagent-cost).

Restoration Specific Questions: (Since I havent healed since vanilla wow I will need help here, any volunteers?)
What spec should I be using?first of all, even how tempted you are do NOT level as resto! its bad idea, and you just going to be bored to death because you overheal in lower level instance
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=0VG0zZZf0IubuxVuVhstthe one as looked at as "needed talents*"to be serious on resto
* 2/3 some use in subley and did take 3/3 living seed to show later tree
cool part with resto you can make you own style for healing ..some like regrowth spam, some like nourish , msot like Hot(me) to healing
What sort of gear should I be aiming for?Spellpower>spirit>int
spellpower= better heals
Int to you got a good mana pool (15k++ this is minimum at start of raid)
Spirit give you Sp and mana regen(good mana regen) as if you liferool(cover later) you often outside the 5 sec cast rule and then it shine very much
What should I be using in my healing rotations?keep up the HoTs! prior what to bring up and keep them upp! we are HoT healers where we shine, don't believe the Regrowth/healing touch glyph builds if you do pve! they more pvp/arena orianted
Lifebloom x 3 >revju >regrowth
Wild growth when group damage
Swiftmend** in "OH S HIT!"(when tank did go down to 10% ect)
NS+Healing touch for " Oh $%^& heal!"
NS+BR
NS+entangel
NS+wrath(lol anything count in solo?^^)
but think you get it, it make a
nature spell instant!
Nourish is flash heal when you not got time to anything else (or some fight like Loatheb....precast healing touch and spam nourish/regrowth ect)
there is no real rotation as healing, healing is a feeling and reflex to take the right choices in matter of sec, but if you keep 3 x lifebloom on tank (revju if he going down with life) on tank all time
to you get
this its better to throw lifebloom on raid if we think Mph , but after you get it its better to throw revju for better Mph (and you can consider replenish)
Note: i say it again, healing is a FEELINING! if you see a Dps lose 4k you can
A)bloomroll/revju if you belive he will survive fine to the bloom come
B)regrowth if you not think he will make it
C)nourish if you see he need it asap
D) wait to he die and CR(not recommended, but i tend to do this if the tank is under heavy fire)
Terms for resto druid:Liferoll: you refresh the lifebloom at last sec on 3 stack , this is best healing spell in Mps ingame if you do it this way
Bloomroll: throw lifebloom on raid/party member and let it run out (when a lifebloom go out its called "bloom")
BR: battle ress = Rebirth
Mark= mark of wild/gift of wild
common healing terms
tank>Healer>dps on who to heal first if somebody got hurt
if tank die= group will die
if healer(you die) = the group got limited time to make it
if a dps die= group still can go on
What way should I gem/enchant my gear?
Spellpower for better heal's
Spirit for regen (and sp)
Haste (not got number now, but this is needed to get less GBC)
(I make a list when come home)
FAQ on to restoWhy do people not like replenish? it give free mana!and it can happen on every tic! thats good right?its good when you look at it, but if you use it you will ntoice its not so good (in deep why
here)
what about Living seed then? with improved regrowth it got to owns!yes it do! but then again, most people find that the living seed most of time become overheal and it only take the part of healing that did crit and NOT overheal...so you can crit for 10k and healed for 5k it only become 3k seed.,its only cost 3 point's and good talent and i believe it rocks in pvp and arena play
what about imp tranq? why not you make it mandatory?its true, it great, its best aoe healing you can get, for you GROUP. if it was raid wide or up to 10 players or something i will consider it but there is few reason i not take it
1) wild growth do a good job on aoe heal
2) i can't do anything while i channel it
3)me as many other tend to forget it evenuntalanted
its good skill, but take it if you use it much
why take nature grace? we HoT!not crit based healer like the other! This , just because i said we Hot healer don't mean we can't use other spell's and regrowth is very strong
What about Glyph of Healing touch? will it not be imba with healing touch that is so strong cast fast?its made for Balance/resto hybrid's , they not that good healer, but they got good regen but that's about it, good geared resto druid not have mana problem, and you gimp the NS/healing touch combo, but it can be consider a "level build but i want to heal to!"
i talk mainly for PVE as i not a arena druid, and can add more later but i got to go now
and 3.1.0 is come new spirit nerf out of combat but Intensity get buffed so not 100% on how we need to prio after that patch on gear. but now its mainly Sp >spirt, but that not mean we ignore spirit....i grab as much as i can get;)
