One thing about thorns...
I played a feral druid to 54 in beta and there was a nasty bug about it that might still apply. It appeared that when a mob hit the druid, the thorns damage kicked in about half a second later. Similarly, when a mage cast polymorph the effect kicked in about a half a second after the spell landed on the mob. This resulted in many unsuccessful polymorph attempts while thorns was active.
If this is still the way it works, thorns probably shouldn't be used in any 5-man instances.
