Can anyone with experience with TBC druids comment on whether they are likely to depend on bleed damage and if so at what point? If it wasn't for the lack of CloS and Berzerker Rage I'd say feral druids would be a huge threat to my survivability.

Stealth-Opener:
Pounce: 4 seonds stun and about 1500 bleed damage.
(A druid will always use pounce as his opener on a priest.)

Building-Combo-Points:
Only one very weak ability named "Rake".

Finishing-Moves:
Rip: It does about 2,8k bleed-damage for me in gladiator gear. It is the best damage/energy finisher a druid has.
Fericious Bite: Crits for up to 4k on cloth. I prefer rip on priests with "Blessed Resilience".
Maim: 6 second incapacitate that does about 700 damage.

A druid with the intention to simply kill you will use FB if he sniffs a chance to burst you down.
Otherwise he should use rip for the maximum amount of damage.
If the druid and the priest are left alone, the druid can use maim to restealth to get another pounce in.


I would suggest to save stoneform for rip.
