One thing I hadn't seen mentioned is they are lowering the swing timer on all the feral weapons to 2.0 seconds. This is pretty huge for the dreamstate resto build, almost doubling the mana you can get from swinging on pets in moonkin form. Just using the S3 staff as a reference point, enchanted with savagery, a moonkin has 1202 (staff) + 70 (savagery) + 105 (moonkin form ap bonus) = 1377 ap plus any other random buffs like bshout and base stats swinging at a 2.0 speed. You regenerate 30% of your ap on a fairly high number of swings so that's 413 mana back per proc. Lets say it has a 50% chance to proc, a lowball estimate from my experience, and you have a resto druid getting a nice 515mp5. Seems a little crazy to me.
