Quote:Completly off topic but I find the "feral = PvP" thing to be a complete myth. Without stuns or poisons, its tough to hold a caster still long enough to claw him to death. Bear doesn't generate enough rage to do much. And I haven't seen anybody prove me different (I'm talking about BG's, not duels). Flag runner/tough to kill healer/flag guarder are ideal spots for druids, I think, and none of those need max feral.
Max feral does rule for grinding.
I'd agree with that - in PVP I really miss my old NS heal. Full feral is for PVE grinding or tanking (and now possibly damage dealing). There are a bunch of useful talents in feral though, if I respecced for PVP it would certainly include at least down to feline swiftness and possibly further.
I haven't done well on running 4 CP v 5 CP Rip numbers since I don't know the base values. Adding a 5th Claw to a 4*Claw, Rip sequence clearly isn't as good as adding a 4th to 3*Claw, Rip but a sequence using the latter needs to spend more energy on Rips. Laboratory condition damage to energy considerations tend to be trumped by other things in game anyway (eg. need to Rip soon enough that the mob takes damage from the full duration, need to use FB on raid mobs to conserve debuff slots, etc.)
