My characters were finally copied to PTR, so I tried out the new talents a little... and because I like to spam, I'll post some pics about it. First, I tried resto... here's a tree for y'all. Nice rejuvenation ticks, but it really looks stupid. After that, I swapped to 0/41/10 for sum manglin'. Cat-mangle does around 350 with my gear, but I got one crit for 899. Mangle in bear does bit less damage, but thanks to improved LotP it seems pretty easy to kill anything without leaving forms. I'd try balance, but I can't afford any more respecs... I didn't have that much gold when I copied, and stormrage vendors for very little money!

Also, latest round of druid changes from the TBC beta... mostly nerfs this time:
Consumables can no longer be used in forms. This includes bandages, potions, thistle tea, food, or any other reasonable item that any other class can use. - Primal Fury and Blood Frenzy rolled into 1 talent. - Imp LoTP has been reduce to 2 points, with each point doing exactly the same amount as before (making this a nerf, only healing 4% at full points). - Improved Starfire is now Celestial Focus. 5/10/15% chance to stun with Starfire for 3 seconds and chance to resist losing cast time by 25/50/70% while casting Wrath. - Dreamstate now correctly lists MP5 instead of MP0. - Barkskin no longer reduces the cast time, but the cooldown was doubled to 2 minutes. - nurturing Instincts lowered from 50/100% to 25/50% - Improved Leader of the Pack changed from 3 points at 2/4/6% to 2 points at 2/4%. - Weapon procs no longer fire for a druid in feral forms. - Feline Swiftness renamed Feral Swiftness and the dodge is now 2%/4% for all forms

Tried out balance on test server, since Ukko tried bear/tree. Have 95% blue gear (only purple is ZG trinket), and went 51/0/0 balance spec. Damage is very nice, fought Silithus camp mobs: Starfire hits for 1000, crits for 2000 very regularly (1250 normal and 2500 crit with trinket) Wrath hits for 500, crits for 1000 Not sure about moonkin melee damage, since I haven't maxed out weaponskill. Mana gains from meleeing as moonkin was nice though, gained +93 mana on about 4 out of 5 melee hits. Still went oom a fair bit though Summoned treants are pretty rubbish. I summoned 3 of them and set them to attack a Twilight person. Every single time they soloed the twilight person down to 5% then died. More of a DOT with a 3 min cooldown I guess.

In tBC beta, they added weapon procs to druid forms, and allowed use of consumables in forms too. But they've just taken both away and claimed it was a "bug"! Also, tree of life is banishable, woo!

So if you go tree form, can you wander around Dire Maul unmolested? "I'm on of you, no honest! Look I'm all brown and barky!"

Also got round to trying out treeform in tBC. Was actually kind of fun, took ages to go OOM compared to now. Rocked in PvP too, especially when paired with a warrior.
Changes in healing, taking into account the + healing nerf (both tested with full resto build, and same gear): Max rank HT: Current - 3300, PTR - 3700 HT rank 4: Current - 1100, PTR - 850 Rejuv tick: Current - 427, PTR (in tree form) - 500
Main annoyance it tree was being unable to decurse and buff MotW. Mana shifting costs weren't too bad though.
