Quote:You're missing something vital. If the Druid's Innervates/Rebirths are required at some point, they are definitely worth more than DPS. The Druid can save the raid in an "Oh shi-" type situation while the DPS Warrior continues doing what he's been doing - DPS. How can you compare a Feral Druid to a DPS Warrior and then bring in a Resto Druid to the discussion? When competing for an OT position, a Feral Druid seems the clear choice. Imp LotP, Innervates/Rebirths in a pinch and FF far outweigh BS/CS and marginally more DPS from someone who isn't even in a true DPS position (OT position not being a DPS spot is what I mean.)Except you'll still bring a DPS warrior. I haven't seen any indication anywhere that DPS warriors' raid spots are in danger due to Feral druids. They more than merit a DPS spot, plus they bring their own versatility.
If the DPS warrior tanks as well as the Feral druid (without having any points in Protection), there's no need to bring the Feral druid--especially if you can replace two support healers by having him spec a full Restoration spec, and replace the second support-healer with a DPS class. It covers just about any flexibility the Feral druid would bring.
