Bah, apologies for posting twice in a row. Anyways...

How important is improved Starfire for PvP?
Is 65% grasp enough?
Do you agree that survival bear is best served by feral aggression?
How do you think this would play out?

I'm not, nor have I ever been, a balance druid, so this is all pure speculation. But here's my two cents anyway.:)

- Starfire is great, but it's primarily an opener. Given that nature damage is less likely to break roots - based on anecdotal evidence gathered in my time playing a druid:)- two wraths is always going to be my choice over one starfire, unless I can make that starfire BIG through trinkets.

- 65% grasp really is a toss-up that depends on your playstyle. Some people can live without it altogether, and some people go crazy unless it's a guaranteed proc. What it comes down to is how you are using it. After adjusting your playstyle you can probably live with only 35% if you are using it defensively. (I doubt this has to be said, bust just in case: if you're doing that, cast it nice and early.:))

If you're using it to get free casts of starfire/wrath I would be inclined to max it out. The reasoning behind this is that you're relying on DPS to win fights if that's how you're playing, not defense. If that's the case, then 100% grasp lets you control the fight that much more, which will be key.

- Feral aggression or ferocity? Personally I would go with ferocity looking at your build, but that's probably due to my playstyle. More mauls while in bear form equals a shorter fight.

I would probably change a couple of things in your build. Firstly, I would take the two points out of feline swiftness and put them into balance somewhere. A faster cat isn't really going to be a big advantage to your balance druid.

I would also reconsider moonfury and natural shapeshifter. Moonfury is a talent that's going to look better and better as you're +damage improves, while natural shapeshifter is going to become less useful as your mana pool increases.

My version of you're build would look like this, with points from improved roots moved to improved grasp depending on how you're going to use grasp.:)
