The current version of Scare Beast is rarely used, for good reason:

1) 10 yard range. Unless the druid is snared or incapacitated, they have a good chance at moving out of range.
2) Subject to spell pushback and interrupts. Also, bash works well as the hunter cannot dodge or parry while casting this.
3) As a spell, it uses spellhit, of which hunters have none and therefore Scare Beast has a significant resist rate.
4) Good druids wait until the spell has nearly cast then either bash the hunter or shift into humanoid form.
5) Against hunter pets the caster suffers pushback and a very high resist rate as many pvp hunters run with NR resist on their pets.

I see the PTR change as reasonable, considering the significant resist rate and the 30 second cooldown. Sure, it bones feral druids, but those are rare at the higher ratings and the tweak to Tiger's Fury as posted above would fix this issue for them, mostly.
