Again, make sure you aren't posting inaccurate information as fact. Mangle does not have a higher crit rate than other abilities and it is not defensively advantageous to spam it over your other abilies.

Original Post:

Agreed with your first response Kalbear. A balance of Agi and Stamina I strongly suggest. Blizzard did good in allowing Druids to decide how we want to "game" with that.

Regarding the second part, Mangle - above all other abilities, should be your #1 DPS ability, moreover; Mangle should have a higher crit chance than any of your other abilities (I don't know why, honestly), Maybe it rivals Lacerate. Now if you say that's all poppy-cock and baulder-dash.

Then I present this scientific explanation, Mangle is your #1 Threat Generator and should always be on Cool Down. Now if you reduce that ability to a 1.5 sec GCD via Berserk and spam that instead of Maul, Lacerate, Swipe, Thrash, Pulverize, you have a greater chance to have one of those hits crit because you aren't using any other ability.

Mangle is the first and foremost important ability for Feral Druid threat and placing yourself in a position where that is really the only thing you spam, is not only great for threat and damage output, but also survivability.

Did that help at all?

To clarify as well, within those 25 seconds, you should refresh Lacerate once or twice, depending when you popped Berserk.
