I really don't care about 10 mans; save for maybe at the beginning of lvl80 instances (basically TBC Karazhan), people in progression based raiding guild will outgear 10mans by at least one tier that it doesn't matter. If any 25 man environment dictates speccing of IF, i'll do that in a heartbeat. However, I don't target my spec towards smaller instances such as 10 or 5 man. By the same logic, you need to also spec 5/5 into Primal Aggression because you don't always have a warrior to do it for you, so why don't people take it?

Meh. I'm having a hard time coming up with a PvE spec that isn't missing at least 2-3 important points that I'd love to keep. Nevermind the PvP spec, which is a headache in its own right.

All the more reason I think they should reduce Naturalist to 3/3 with the same max rank bonus - it seems like an easy place to give ferals 2 extra points in the feral tree and doesn't really affect any of the other specs.

Either that or remove the requirement of Natural Shapeshifter from Master Shapeshifter, there are certainly too many talents which most of us would label must haves. It reminds me of the old days before we got merged talents and the feral ones were split in all three trees and many were mutually exclusive, well not quite that bad.
If they were unlinked the individual players could spend points on how it suits our play styles best, I don't really enjoy PvP so I never take Natural Shapeshifter but I will be forced into it as missing Master Shapeshifter would appear to be a bad mistake.

To me it looks very like the way Predatory Strikes currently is, a pre-requisite we are forced to take but given the choice many of us would skip.
Speaking of Predatory Strikes, while the talent is better than it was all it is really doing is locking us into upgrading weapons to the next highest ilvl we get to pick up. If the item budget is poorly spent 20% more from the weapons feral attack power will most likely make the higher ilvl weapon better even if the stats are spent in a comical way.

As they took away the difference of Spellhaste and Haste it could be a result of that. There is only one Haste on all Equipment now that improves Spell and Melee speed.

True, but there are many, many talents and abilities that affect only one or the other. Windfury/Wrath of Air is the most obvious example of this.

Infected Wounds is down to 4% less attack speed per stack, though the tooltip doesn't yet reflect it. This brings it in line with Curse of Weakness/Thunderclap/Judgements of the Just when fully stacked.

It is a sign of it working on raid bosses. The 50% slow was obviously too much.

Note the "-4" effect on melee haste.

Would it be possible to keep both rip, savage roar and rake up(considering it lasts 9 secs iirc) for the FB finisher though?

I guess it would be something like Mangle/Shred/Rake to 5cp>Savage Roar, Repeat(with rip instead), Repeat, then FB(It sounds like a pretty tight rotation to me)

Even now with a bad streak of non-crits or avoided attacks I can end up with rip falling off (though it is rare). And this is with a whole hell of a lot more crit than I'm likely to have until a fair bit into WotLK raiding. I can't see keeping up a 3 finisher cycle except in the case where you pop berserk and half all your energy costs. I suspect it'll be similar to a rogue cycle of Xpoint SR/5 point damaging finisher (Rip or FB depending on what turns out to be better).

Well that is good and bad news all at once.
Good in that we won't need a warrior for Thunder Clap but bad as we need three points and five unavoided attacks to guarantee the 20% melee slow. Yes we can do it with less than the maximum talents and I am sure someone will do some maths on how many points is best or enough.

If you have a look at the new paladin talent tree you can see they have a talent called Judgements of the Just which is a two point talent giving a 10/20% slow from all Judgements made on the target.
This means that all three current tanking classes can reduce our targets attack speed by up to 20%.
For a warrior it requires three talent points and a GCD on a four second cool down but it affects four targets.
For a paladin it is two talent points but a ten second cool down with talents to make it an eight second cool down.
For druids it is three talent points and five attacks which hit, one attack is on a six second cool down and the other is based on our auto attack speed of two and a half seconds.

I find it quite amusing that the class recognised as the best choice, by many, for tanking single mobs has a four target slow effect and the class best at AoE targets can only slow single targets every eight seconds.

It is interesting that it is applied by Shred as well, this means that after we have a stack built a warrior tank won't need to use a GCD to maintain Thunder Clap which helps them increase their threat. I would expect them to get Thunder Clap up while we build our slowing stack though, assuming that tank death is a concern.

Why ? This places it on a 4.5s timer, which fits perfectly with the 1.5s GCD.
