Why does everyone assume that the only thing I think about is PvP? You know I'm in a heavy raiding PvE guild, right? Anyway, why do you assume that an item which caters to all druids would be a half-way item? Again take a look at the Mace of Unending Life as an example of what I think more druid directed items should be like. I don't consider that a half-way item at all. It's all caster when in caster form and all feral when in feral form. As long as the item budget treats the effects in different forms seperately, you can end up with an item that is always good for the druid no matter what form the druid is in.
And as far as your play, you mean you never switch forms when you're soloing? You don't cast a spell at something a long way off to pull it, switch to cat form to dps it, maybe switch to human form to heal yourself or entangle an add, and then switch to bear form to tank the mob and finish it off? You don't do any of that kind of stuff? It seems to be the standard procedure as far as I've seen. I rarely see druids stay in one form for long stretches of time. To have a weapon that one has to constantly click on to get it in the right configuration for the moment and then have it not be very good whenever the druid switches to another form would not make it very legendary to me.
