The druid talent screenshots on www.worldofraids.com are not supported by anything in curse-gaming. curse-gaming does include many of the abilities and talents that have been reported by the official preview; thus I consider it a more trustworthy resource.

So, I paged through the abilities - there are a lot - and took notes on what seemed obviously druid-related. Here's what I found:

Restoration:
Healing Touch rank 12: Heals a friendly target for 2364-2791.
Healing Touch rank 13: Heals a friendly target for 2707-3198.
Insect Swarm rank 6: The enemy target is swarmed by insects, decreasing their chance to hit by 2% and causing 366 Nature damage over 12 sec.
Mark of the Wild rank 8 - increases friendly target armor by 340, all attributes by 14, all resistances by 25
Rebirth rank 6: Returns the spirit to the body, restoring a dead target to life with 3200 health and 0 mana
- hope that's a typo...
Regrowth rank 10: Heals a friendly target for 1215-1356 and another 1274 over 21 sec.
Rejuvenation rank 12 - heals target for 932 over 12 secs
Rejuvenation rank 13 - heals target for 1060 over 12 secs
Tranquility rank 5 - regenerates all nearby group members for 407 every 2 seconds for 10 secs

Increased Rejuvenation Healing: instant, increases healing done by Rejuvenation by up to 72
- unclear where this comes from, it could be an item ability

Feral:
Claw rank 6: Claw the enemy, causing 190 additional damage. Awards 1 combo point.
Cower rank 4: Cower, causing no damage but lowering your threat a large amount, making the enemy less likely to attack you.
Cower rank 5: Cower, causing no damage but lowering your threat a large amount, making the enemy less likely to attack you.
Demoralizing Roar rank 6 - reduces nearby enemies' attack power by 240
Frenzied Regeneration rank 4 - converts up to 10 rage per second into health for 10 secs, each point gives 25 health (up from 20)
Maul rank 8: Increases the druid's next attack by 176 damage.
Pounce rank 4 - stuns the target for 2 sec, causes 150 damage over 18 secs
Rake rank 5: Rake the target for 83 damage and an additional 135 damage over 9 sec. Awards 1 combo point.
Ravage rank 5: Ravage the target, causing 350% damage plus 343 to the target. Must be prowling and behind the target. Awards 1 combo point.
- note this is what ravage 4 does already. Probably incomplete data.
Rip rank 7 - causes 300/12, 498/12, 696/12, 894/12, 1092/12 sec damage depending on combo points
Swipe rank 6 - swipes 3 nearby enemies, inflicting 117 damage.
Shred rank 6: 225% damage plus 180, gives 1 combo point
Shred rank 7: Shred the target, causing 225% damage plus 180 to the target. Must be behind the target. Awards 1 combo point.
- note this is the same as the damage for Shred rank 5, so they must not have worked out the DPS for rank 6 or 7 yet.

New ability sighted:

Savage Bite rank 1: 30 rage, savagely bites the target, dealing normal damage plus 117, requires level 66
- probably intended as a rage dump you can use between Mauls.

Increased Ferocious Bite Damage: instant, increases damage done by Ferocious Bite by 13 per combo point
- unclear where this comes from, it could be an item ability

- No new level of Ferocious Bite? Could be because it was added as a drop spell in 1.12, and curse-gaming contains only the new spells not previously known about... So the trainable version is just the same as the book.

- Actually there's an icon for Ferocious Bite rank 6, but no damage data for it.

Balance:
Entangling Roots rank 7 - 351 nature damage over 27 seconds
Faerie Fire rank 5 - decreases target armor by 610 for 40 secs
Hurricane rank 4: Creates a violent storm in the target area causing 206 Nature damage to enemies every 1 sec, and reducing the attack speed of enemies by 20%. Lasts 10 sec. Druid must channel to maintain the spell.
Moonfire rank 11 - burns the enemy for 220-259 arcane damage, then an additional 444 arcane damage over 12 secs
Moonfire rank 12 - burns the enemy for 305-358 arcane damage, then an additional 600 arcane damage over 12 secs
Nature's Grasp rank 7 - Entangling Roots rank 6 yadda yadda
Soothe Animal rank 4: Soothes the target beast, reducing the range at which it will attack you by 10 yards. Only affects Beast targets level 85 or lower. Lasts 15 sec.
Starfire rank 8 - causes 540-637 arcane damage to the target
Wrath rank 9 - causes 278-313 nature damage
Wrath rank 10 - causes 381-430 nature damage

I think the druid expansion spells and talents aren't in the curse-gaming database yet, with the odd exception of 'Savage Bite', which definitely looks like it could be a future druid feral ability. But they do have the new versions of the standard druid spells.

Either Blizzard is still working on them, or they're able to hold back some of the data from the client code they release, which they're fully aware that people will be analyzing within an inch of its life.

Interesting stuff from what I have gathered they are still doing hunter/priest/druid talents so that would explain the lack of abilities/spells for the class's in the curse database. One thing I am disapointed about is Tranquility still requires to be channeled meaning we won't see it being used majority of the time.

I liked the idea of it being an instant cast that placed a HOT on the party and healed for that amount rather than being channeled.

Good finds.

The increased rejuvenation and increased ferocious bite spells seem to be set bonuses or relics based on their wording, and not as likely to be talents but who knows.

It has been stated that the spell book abilities would be trainable at 62 (so you don't need to farm AQ20 or UBRS to get your next skill up when leveling a new character).

Millions of words are written annually purporting to tell how to beat the races, whereas the best possible advice on the subject is found in the three monosyllables: 'Do not try.'

Yeah, I figured that was the case - I was more curious they weren't adding any new levels beyond the trainable/book version. From level 63 to 70, no new Healing Touch?

Actually, looks like I may have been wrong:

Healing Touch rank 12: Heals a friendly target for 2364-2791.
Healing Touch rank 13: Heals a friendly target for 2707-3198.

Regrowth rank 10: Heals a friendly target for 1215-1356 and another 1274 over 21 sec.

Ravage rank 5: Ravage the target, causing 350% damage plus 343 to the target. Must be prowling and behind the target. Awards 1 combo point.

Rebirth rank 6: Returns the spirit to the body, restoring a dead target to life with 3200 health and 0 mana
(hope that's a typo...)

I'll fix up the top post to include these.

No new level of Hibernate or Tiger's Fury. Sorry.

No % based scaling here makes me sad.

Added Melthar's note that the data for Ravage and Shred doesn't appear to have been entered yet, so we're probably looking at placeholder info.

Us poor druids... We're vigorously gnawing at the shreds of information we've been able to get. :)

Thing is, all we see is extensions of existing skills or new skills that push us ever-further into specialising into one tree. Guess Resto-heavy Druids will have to keep those alts for solo farming a while longer :D
