STATUS: Just recently added the GetComboPoints() check, not tested yet. Also reduced the Shred threshold to 16 energy.

Basically 20 less than the energy cost of any ability you want to use.
Mangle at 15 (assuming 2t6, 20 otherwise)
Shred at 18 (assuming talented) Note: 22 would be ideal, but mana usage is probably too high
Rip at 10
Here are Mine:
Special thanks to Malthoreniel (I *never* would have thought of this myself) I've incorporated the following macros:
/run local c=DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME if pws then pws=false c:AddMessage("Powershift disabled",1,1,1) else pws=true c:AddMessage("Powershift enabled",1,1,1)end
This will turn on/off the powershifing component of the following attacks. Turn on to improve raid DPS, turn off for long farming sessions, etc.
#showtooltip
/run if pws then local f="Cat Form";f=GetSpellCooldown(f)>0 or UnitMana('player')>14 or not IsUsableSpell(f) or CancelPlayerBuff(f) end
/cast [form] Mangle (Cat)()
/stopmacro [form]
/use [alt] item:22838
/cast Cat Form
This will powershift, if possible/enabled and your energy is less than 15, and use a Haste Potion (if Alt is held). Otherwise it will simply Mangle
#showtooltip
/run if pws then local f="Cat Form";f=GetSpellCooldown(f)>0 or UnitMana('player')>15 or not IsUsableSpell(f) or GetComboPoints()>3 or CancelPlayerBuff(f) end
/cast [form] Shred
/stopmacro [form]
/use [alt] item:22838
/cast Cat Form
This will powershift, if possible/enabled and your energy is less than 18, and use a Haste Potion (if Alt is held). Otherwise it will simply Shred.
#showtooltip
/run if pws then local f="Cat Form";f=GetSpellCooldown(f)>0 or UnitMana('player')>9 or not IsUsableSpell(f) or CancelPlayerBuff(f) end
/use 13
/use 14
/cast [form] Rip
/stopmacro [form]
/cast Cat Form
This will powershift, if possible/enabled and your energy is less than 10. Otherwise it will simply Rip. In either case it will activate both of your trinkets.
I think I'm going to *HAVE* to test these with a Wolfshead Helm.... Just to see...
Now if you had to choose between any 2 of Kings, AP, or Wisdom ... which would it be?
Edit: Switched 22->18 for shred, based on feedback, and fixed a syntax error '<' to '>', the <> change also necessitates the removal of 1 from each of the thresholds to avoid an off by one error.
Edit: Fixed Haste Potion item ID
