Moonkin locks out healing - it's like the Priest Shadow form in that regard. Of course you can easily drop out of the form and start healing.
There are claims on the Bliz forums that staying in ordinary form (can't call it caster any more!) gives higher spell DPS than using Moonkin because the second instant cast DOT of Insect Swarm gives more net DPS than the 3% crit chance. I haven't run the numbers but it sounds plausible. YMMV.
Lots of new build options for Druids this patch.
