More of the same, so this is just a warning and a way of preventing more reports.

And yes, going Cat --> Bear is more than a 10% damage done reduction but you seem to happily ignore the fact that it's also a whole lot more damage reduction than 10%. Really, what is your problem with the talent that you feel like you have to make things up like this?

I am taking these numbers from the Druid beta forums and if I am not completely off, aren't there similar talents with the same wording that work like this (I'm not sure about this though)?
Also, since I have seen it thrown around a few times now: 16% spell damage mitigation is not 16% mitigation. It only affects spells. Warriors still only take 10% less damage from melee attacks and Mother Bear easily trumps that at 12% and if it is 15%, then even more so.

I said talents, not talent.

Natural reaction is the truly piece of trash that they just tacked on so a bears mitigation would be roughly the same as the other tanks at entry level. Its just one more in the laundry list of shitty, poorly thought out short term talents/abilities/hacks they have done. Serious what other tank can claim 14% avoidance completely naked? It still does absolutely nothing to address long term scalability. Great you can be roughly the same going into Naxx, good luck coming out.

As for mother bear, its the attack power bonus that is a bad, none scaling pile. It serves no purpose at all, do something else that is actually useful. The damage reduction being dependent on number of people in your group is just silly mechanic that is prone to too many questions and bugs.

Nothing they have done has actually made a druid want either rogue gear or the tanking accessories (ring, clock, neck, trinkets) that the other tanks want. No other spec in the game is being designed around getting terrible itemization and repeatedly getting none scaling numbers tacted on to try and cover up the deficiencies.
