How Rage potions could be used by both classes: http://www.thottbot.com/beta?i=2720
Since most items work of procs per minute (PPM) Catform attack speed is actually a disadvantage for procs. A Warrior or Rogue with a one PPM item gets one PPM from the main hand, another PPM from the offhand and a 2.9/60 chance of another proc for each instant or cleave used. Cat would get just the one PPM main hand and 1.0/60 procs per instant. Bear would do better thanks to Swipe.
I'm not really asking for more power. Raw stats generally compare decently to procs - weapons with strong procs give up a whole bunch of stats to get that proc compared to other items of the same grade. Procs are more interesting, not stronger.
It's harder for a Feral Druid to heal in PVP than any other class.
On Fabius, this is what I need to do to self heal: click my healthstone or potion.
On Named, I can do those or deathcoil.
On Unity: Shift out, lose all my accumlated rage or energy, click my healthstone or potion (if I'm in melee and need to heal it's not likely that I can get a cast time spell off, barring a successful bash in a duel), hope no-one was saving a stun or big instant until I was in caster, spend some mana to shift back.
Nature's Swiftness would help but I'd have to give up a lot of tanking power to get it. Roots has a cast time and doesn't work indoors.
