Druid cat build

I'm sure you're aware of this but didn't make it quite clear in your post.

Effects on weapons that start with "Equip" such as "Equip: Increases your chance to hit by 1%" DO work for shapeshifted forms.

This makes weapons like Impervious Giant from BRD a great option for shapeshifting: http://wow.allakhazam.com/item.html?witem=11921

And anyone who uses bear form wants the epic warden staff for its huge armor boost:

That's interesting - I wasn't aware of that. I knew that the procs (do this x% of the time you hit) didn't work but have never had +crit% weapons.

The warden staff is very, very sweet for a Bear druid. They also cost around 150g in the local Auction House - I can afford one, but I'd still feel ripped off and want to see what I can find myself. The Giant is less impressive - it's effectively 3% more melee damage. I could get that from a generic green +Str mace and have another stat too (albeit without the armour). Those characters with higher base damage output would benefit more from the percentage increase.
