In my unterstanding, with ~300 resil and 3/3 Natural Perfection i'm at 25% melee/ranged crit damage reduction. 90% of the time i die because i get gibbed by 2 physical damage classes focussing me. I hardly ever die to mages, locks or spriests because i can los them.
So with extra resilience i would only lower incoming physical crit chance by a few % and slightly reduce dot damage by the same level. I would like to hear some opinions of more experienced resto druids. Is it worth to drop natural perfection and max out resilience, or should i shoot for 300 along with some nice bt/mh manareg gear? What are the pros/cons?

Ok i think dropping NP is out of question when this goes live. So stick with 300 resilience and trade some minor spelldmg reduction for more heal/mp5 ?

With the change, yes NP will be mandatory. However, reducing resilience is still not a good idea.
First, NP only affects half of what resilience does. You can still lower the crit chance, which is still worth it.
Second, at least in 2v2 you are mistaken when you think that you die from physical DPS most. The hardest lineup for a druid is arguably rogue/spriest (rogue/mage is worse if you play with a warrior and nearly unbeatable since you cannot dispel their CC). But it is not the rogue who does the damage. The rogue stunlocks you while the spriest melts your face. I can deal with a stunlock since the rogue will do little damage during that time, but being stunned while being hit by one of the highest damage classes in the game is typically death when I am in a bad spot. I have more than once died without getting out of stun long enough to do anything, even with the PvP trinket.
NP or not, I would not want to go up against any double DPS team with 300 resilience.
