Just soing a bit of math - if you have X Feral Druids in your Group, all similarly (for the sake of less math, equally) geared, the difference between one manglebitch and all using standard cycle would be:

(I'm assuming a 20s Cycle as normal - it's pretty much worst case though)

Mangle is effective damage loss, as for pretty much the same energy amout you can do a much more damaging shred, if you are using a standard cycle, you would do 3 mangles per minute (60s/20s). A mangle bitch would do exactly 5 mangles per minute (60/12).

So you are saving (X * 3) - 5 mangles per minute by using a mangle-bitch (X being the number of druids). Each mangle per minute saved is worth

(Average Shred Damage - Average Mangle Damage) / 60

DPS. At 3000 AP and 35 % Crit that would be about 12.5 DPS increase with 2 Druids and 50.0 DPS increase with 3 Druids - pretty significant if you ask me.

Having Proc-/Critluck and thus a shortened cycle or having one druid that is worse geared or in tank gear even increases the gap.
