Tree form won't be that attractive at +100% armor for standing and tanking in 2s and 3s. That would be about half as much armor as a pally healer. I suspect kiting and cc will still be the game plan with tree form coming into play only as a last resort to catch up on heals. But why spend 4 points on tree form at all... because you can't root or cyclone and continually shapeshifting is too mana intensive. I can't see any 2s or 3s druid even taking tree form.

Moving feral charge to a 21 point talent will hurt mobility more than anything (well not if it turns out some arenas are indoors). Needing control of nature (8), and feral charge (21), leaves only 42 points for resto which means no Gift of the Earthmother (reduces global cooldown of rejuv and lifebloom!!). I simply can't see people going that deep into feral at such a cost unless pvp gear somehow has haste on it.

So druids will be slightly less mobile and have less cc (no feral charge stun) but will be even more hot-tastic. And they may have to take some skunky Healing Touch talents to combat the huge % of early DKs.
