The thing is, though, that ferals are not the only ones to benefit from a mangle debuff. Assuming you have a few rogues stabbing away, would it not be better to keep mangle up 24/7 even if it didn't yield a maximum return for the druid alone?

We tend to run with two ferals, one almost exclusively DPS and one OT/DPS. We're fairly similarly-geared, so it would be interesting to see, assuming we're both DPSing, whether it would be better for us to share the burden of using mangle, or if it would be better to have one sacrifice some DPS in order to maximize the other (i.e. become the Mangle Bitch).
