Effective weapon dps doesnt matter on a druid-
YOU ARENT ACTUALLY USING THE WEAPON
We dont use the procs, the speed, the damage, we dont use any of it. The stats are added to our kitty dps formula, which is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than the way any other class does damage
Comparing weapon dps in caster vs. kitty forms isnt comparing the same thing-its apples to oranges. What matters is the end result on the dps charts. Looking through charts on a boss such a gruul, a fairly basic tank and spank as far as dps goes, i do see feral druids in the top 5 on dps fairly regularly-hell, when i get bored and tank Kara on an offday i keep up with rogues on Aran dps, even with a hobbled together feral set made up of stuff no rogue wants.
What i do understand is a lack of choice and gear in general for a feral druid in 25 man content. In general, there is not a lot of desireable gear for tanking or dps specifically designed for feral druids out there, and that is frustrating.
