wait a second? OoC triggers off spells? Wow that's new.
New Imp mangle is awsome too.
As is new talent - primal precision up in the feral tree.. finally some free talented expertise comming our way.

I can't see this working on bosses. Firstly almost no snares work on any bosses unless its a gimmick boss. Next, 50% reduced attack speed is an absurd debuff (isn't thunderclap like 10%?). Bosses damage output would either be trivialized by a feral druid, or they'd have to hit so fast as to be significantly harder (if not undoable) if a feral druid wasn't in the raid.

Multiple component spells apply the entire debuff even if they're immune to part of the effect of the debuff. Likewise, you can have more than 20% attack speed snare on a boss from debuffs, such as improved thunderclap and deathfrost, but the cap is 20% or whatever, so I'd imagine infected wounds would work similarly.

I skipped it for a couple of reasons

1.I cannot possibly see it working on bosses unless it has diminished returns. Right now, attack speed reduction caps at 20%.

2.Even if it works, thunderclap will always be available in a raid. It may suck for the DPS warrior to put it up in terms of his own output, but when it compares to what you, as the main tank (where it actually matters), will lose when you take it, the loss is trivial. I do not see any talent I will drop for infected wound without hurting my performance, survival or threatwise, significantly.

Edit: I can probably take out 1 points from Savage Fury and use the one point leftover i had, making it 2/3, and put it into infected wound. This will not hurt my personal tanking, and the loss on DPs is very marginal. However, again, this will be dependent on how IW performs on bosses.

Even if Infected Wounds is only marginally effective on bosses, it might still provide full value on trash and boss adds. Consider the possible value if it worked on Shadowsword Breakers in the M'uru encounter, or the equivalent. Not working on Swipe diminishes the effect, as does the need to build the stack, but I still see some promise in the talent.

This is true, but think of a Muru-type-encounter: depending on raid setup you are not guaranteed to have a tc on your adds you are tanking. And in 10 men raids it is much more likely to not even have any warrior in the raid as well. So I truely hope infected wounds does apply to bosses with that 20% cap. I can se an infected wounds pve tank spec being perfectly viable depending on raid composition and encounter type.

Edit slaps me for typing too slowly...

With roots working indoors, Nature's Grasp isn't a bad place to put a single leftover point. While it is not "dependable" CC, it would be nice on 5-man trash.

I'm really torn (ha ha) on Rend and Tear. Seems more like a kitty PvP talent with a touch of bear PvE. For "off-tank" type ferals, I would think Shredding Attacks and IW would be a better use of 5 points.

Right now I'm leaning toward this 0/52/19 build.

10% increase to maul damage is a fair bit of extra threat too. The shred damage makes it nearly essential for PvE dps and the 50% crit to FB could actually make it worth using (once the numbers for level 80 come out more math will need to be done on this). Pretty solid talent IMO.

But what will your finisher rotation be? Don't forget about Savage Roar.

When FB is a little bit buffed and with the 50% extra crit, i think the max damage rotation will be mangle->shred to 5cp->saveage roar and then the same roation with FB until savage roar is off.

Thunderclap isn't necessarily always available, though. On add fights, such as Illidan, there are definitely times where you might be the only one attacking your mob, and depending on your raid set up, it could be difficult to get a warrior to run around thunderclapping your mob for you. As well, at level 80 in 10 man raids there will be a much higher chance that your raid won't have a warrior.
