Druid Cat form changes in 1.7

I don't think you can anymore.  I think some of the mobs had stealth detection added to keep people from doing things like this solo.

It actually is possible still, but you have to be a *lot* more careful than you used to be (just tried it a few minutes ago). Probably not possible before L60 though, unless perhaps you have a few points in improved prowl.

This is why Blizzard also needed (needs?) to add more +spell dam/heal gear, because all caster damage is static.

Seconded. Perhaps it's just me, but it feels like the existing +spell power/+heal gear is nowhere near as powerful as I would like. I think the main complaint is that for any decent amount, you have to find it on a bunch of gear, rather than a single piece. Though having faced off against some very nicely equipped casters sometimes I wonder...
