When I am soloing in catform I find it quite annoying to keep SR up consistently due to the short duration and the need for combopoints and energy to refresh it.

I see 2 ways of attempting to keep it up:
* Build up 5 pts and SR, then kill a few mobs and build up another 5 pts when it is about to expire. I find this rather annoying because mobs tend to die before I get the chance to refresh it and then I am left with SR.
* Attack and spent first combo point on SR, but it will only last for this fight. (for this I use Mangle, since Rake would get an inferior dot if applied without SR).

I usually opt for the second option, and just accept that the first Mangle can be without SR. The 19 sec duration for a 1-2 pt SR is usually sufficient to engage the next mob when chain killing.

Any other suggestions on how to keep it up?

I did some math myself about expertise cap but its so high that I can barely believe its correct;

32.8 expertise rating = 1% dodge/parry
boss have 15 to 16% parry, lets aim for 15%.

15x32.8 = 492 expertise rating.

is this correct?

if so, is it worth going for?

I couldn't find a good topic about this, but I asume SOMEONE must have calculated how valuable expertise really is?

Rawr models this item. It's a pretty darn good trinket; for the Moonkin I have open in front of me as I write this, it's the second-best trinket listed, behind Dying Curse.

I'm sure i read it elsewhere on these forums, but if you are starting fresh, use your first CP to set up SR, then just nuke the mob down. Use any and all CPs remaining on the mob before it dies to refresh a longer SR (I usually get 5) and then just keep refreshing 4-5 CP SR on new mobs as you kill. If it runs out, just start anew with 1 CP. Ignore your other finishers.
SR is very much the superior finishing move for me while grinding, since Rip won't get any chance to do its full damage and FB uses far too much energy. As well as this, I'm killing mobs just as quickly as I was when i was using FB, but without the energy loss that comes with it.

I haven't done any focused accurate testing. If you want an initial impression it seems like 50-60% of the time I will get a proc from a hurricane. It doesn't seem related to the number of targets at all anymore, but it can definitely proc at any point during the channeled cast.

Your question has been answered here.

What do you mean having either 1/3 Moonglow or 1/3 Dreamstate? That doesn't make sense. You have to have 1/3 Moonglow to advance further down the tree.

My simple question:

What resources are there out there, that you can utilise for min/maxing your character?

I know of Rawr but sadly it hasn't been fully updated for WLK yet.

Adoriele has mentioned above that the new DPS spreadsheet already exists. The original thread is locked however, and I couldn't find a new one. Could you please provide a link?

Anything else?

Does anyone think that glyph of HT would not be the best glyph to have for healing instances, prior to lvl 80? I don't feel too confident that regrowth, swiftmend, and hots alone would be enough in all healing situations.

In general, how should I be gemming/enchanting my cat and bear gear? Am I tossing defense? Am I replacing AGI with STR now? Am I waiting a couple months to see how feral 'lands'?

Can anyone give a simple formula for feral bear and cat as to which stats should be focused on? I'm looking for something along the lines of x>y>z... I haven't seen one of these since the expansion. For bear, it would be especially useful to know how it will look for the 3.0.4 patch if it will differ. I know this is simplifying things quite a bit, but it would be helpful in getting started. Also, if there are any target numbers to shoot for given the fact that we no longer need to work toward 415 defense, that would be useful as well.

If this already exists in another thread, please point me to it. I've tried looking, but with hundreds of pages of info here, it is tough to wade through to find something like this.

Try the Feral Questions thread, Finandir.

I looked around for this but really couldn't find it.

With Gift of the Earthmother, how much haste would be required to hit 1 second global cooldowns?
And, is there a point that diminishing returns kick in for haste? I guess I'm looking for the haste sweet spot
