Because a lot of ppl ask for it I'm gonna to say something about Feral Tanks.

For true it's really easy to tank as Feral, hardest part is to get proper gear for our Teddy Bear; )

Cause of few things

Ferals are not using Defence rating, Parry Rating, and Shield Block Rating.

And unfortunatly a lot of Leather gear is made for rogues (not that much stamina/lack of Dogde on them)

Ferals are Def capped from talents, we cannot use Shield, and  our Paws And Claws cannot Parry any attack :)

But instead of that we have Dogde :> A lot more then other Tanks has :>

Ferals have 3 main tanking skills

Mangle - 6 sec cd- wchich can be reduced to 4.5 sec by talents- Ability which does a decent amount of dmg + increase bleed effects on target by 30%
Lacerate - Bleed which is main skill to produce aggro- is stackable to 5, after you reach it you are using:
Swipe - Ability which Attack all mobs around you great for AoE tanking and if you dont have anything better to do :P

Maul -is ability which does not trigger GCD, is can and SHOULD be spammed all the time - it makes our Melle hits stronger :)\
You can do some Macros if you are to lazy do push it manually (just like I'm doing)
/cast mangle
/cast maul

/cast lacerate
/cast maul

/cast swipe
/cast maul
So everytime you use on of those 3 skills  Maul will be used automaticly :)

So basicly Tanking as Feral can be described something like :
1 mob - Keep Mangle on CD + 5 stacks of Lacerate  then Spam Swipe
Multiply Mobs- Spam Swipe :>

It's really easy :)
Of course you need some experience as in everything but still it's not that hard :)

Feral has some Defensive CD's

Survival Insty- Better now as Last Stand- INcrease your hp by 30% (can be and SHOULD be glyphed so it will give you 45%)

Barskin - Ability which reduces all dmg by 20%

Frenzied Regenartion - Unglyphed preety useless but glyphed powerfull (Increase healing done to you by 30% while it's poped)

Using those skills is essencial to surive, cause some of boss can One shot us, and if we wont Dogde some attacks we are taking full dmg so
it might be a bit deadly for us :)

How to Pull :
Pop Enrage - you will get some Rage from it, then Charge or Run into mobs, (use Swipe on multiply mobs) use Mangle and start spamming Lacerate :)
That's really all, after you stack Lacerate you can go adn watch a movie, make a Sandwich or whatever :P just Keep to refresh it every 15sec ;>

As I said at the beggining gearing up is hardest part of tanking for Feral, Try to Avoid as much as possible gear with Defence/Parry/Block value,
Use gem only for Stamina :)
Have fun tanking :>

Druids, druids.. playing a druid for a long time ,was only about healing, and then after TBC came out about healing or tanking...it's just like people forget that druids can also DPS..

That kinda sux for true... BUT no so far ago, Blizzard made a lot of changes, improves, buffs etc etc and now for true, Feral Druid [not gonna talk about Boomkin cause I have never ever even once speeced as Boomkin :P] become VERY complex and viable class not only in tanking but also in DPS and in PvP.

Question is how to dps as Feral Druid

So i think it's quite obvious for everyone that Feral Druid dps in Cat Form :>

So 1st is done :>
2nd. If you still have Clav on your action bar, throw it away, you wont ever use it :>
3rd. Get a mangle BOT, which mean you need to have in party/raid = Arms Warrior or Feral Druid who is gonna tank, OR as the last and worst resort other Feral DPS druid or you :P ALl in ALL MANGLE must be on target all the time,mangle or Arms Warrior Debuff. That's MASSIVE dps lost if it wont be on target remember.

4th. Keep Savage Roar, ALWAYS even if you have 1 combo point just use it, of course it's best to use it on 5 combo points but anyway you MUST have it.

5th. KEEP Rake on target! NO matter what ;>

6th. Keep 5 CP Rip on target! Only 5cp one , not less

7th. Clearcasting procs use on Shred, ALWAYS, 

8th. Of course your main attack is Shred, it can be cast only behind the target if you cannot stay behind it just spam Mangle.. what's more you have 30 sec CD called Tiger Fury, if properly spec it will give you 60 energy, so use it every CD while you have like 20 energy left.

What's more you have CD claled Beserk, it will lower cost of your all abilities by 50% use it ONLY after you use Tigeers Fury, (cause then you will have usually 100 energy) and then after you pop it continue rotation, btw, while Berserk you will get Rip on target and Savage Roar on yourself and 5 combo points on target.. what to do in those moments. just use Ferocius Bite, it's extremly high dmg skill :>

8th. Get an Addon which will help you with feral Rotation   e.g Facemauler.

You must know one thing, dpsing as feral isnt that simple Rotation is just MADNESS! but if you will master it, you will be able to play as ANY ohter class in the game;>

Now let's say something about PvP, I'm not that good in it as Feral got something like 1900 in 2v2 Rogue+ Feral Druid combo.

Few things you need to know.

Rogue is stunning, you are dpsing ;>

Feral druids have AMAZING burst dmg,, Ravange -> Mangle->Rake->spam shred-> Ferocius Bite=dead.

No expections, nothing can outheal that.

If you are playing with healer, just use normal dps rotation, bleeds will eat your enemy,  Just stun a little bit sometimes when needed and just keep chasin your enemy and shreding him:>

If he will show his backs to you, you will win ALWAYS if he will face you that's gonna be a bit harder but still doable.

Dont bother about Maims unless your rogue call for it, he should be able to stun enemy for enough time to kill it ;>

Remeber that after recent changes now you are able to cast Instant heals/cyclones after you made a Finisher with 5 cp.[For true Finisher from 5cp gives you 100% to do an instnant cast, finisher from 1 Cp gives you 20% [each Cp = 20%]  IT'S EXTREMLY usefull and important. Cyclone is 6 sec ,instant CC, without CD, it's just amazing If you will learn how to abuse ityou will win every each arena :>
Of course remeber that you can use that Instant cast on something else, like Roots, or some Healing Touch, 

Few tricks, if you are facing Team like Retri+ healer, and you are killing healer, he will get Hand Of Protecion, unsless you are with some Dispeller (Shaman/Priest/Mage) you wont be able to do any dmg so just Cast Cyclone  on Target with HoP, in Cyclone he wont be ablle to heal himself, HoP is on target for 10 sec, so 2 cyclones in row on target with HoP Will just waste it :>

Remeber you are tank, everytime someone will attack you Go in Bear Form, Use Barskin/Bash/Last Stand/Frienzied Regeneration, heal yourself, if melle class is Pummeling you, just use Nature Grasp, your enemy wil be rooted :>

What's even MORE important, remeber that you cannot be root/polymorphed/hexed everytime you got Snares/roots just do powershift and run again free like a wind :) , even if you will get Sheep in Tauren Form you will be able get into some Form without using trinket!

  That's preey much all :>

Fell free to ask if you want to know something more :>
