I'll prolly decide on which player I find more skillful.
But I'm interested in some already established 5v5 teams with a balance druid. Probably someone with 2k experience can enlighten us?

With Freedom and Dispels I think BM is an inferior Arena spec. It's nice for burst teams where you need to drop someone (and avoid being dropped) in the first 15-20 seconds of a Battle, but beyond that it becomes a weak MM with a 2 minute cooldown. Marksman brings much more utility and pure personal DPS that does not rely on keeping a 6k health, zero resilience pet alive at all times to use their key abilities. BM is a great anti-melee and dueling spec, the unfortunate thing is that once he uses Bestial Wrath, he's basically shit outta luck for the next two minutes. It comes down to timers - and for 5s, Marksman has more of them available at any given time. To be perfectly honest, you may find Cyclone being your one and only dependable CC on that team to be lackluster when facing 2345 teams.
