Hello All,
So I’m just looking into a few things for my druid.
I'm currently 70 and my spec is similar to the survivability dps spec in the FAQ. I don't have the greatest gear but I also don't think its crap. My main question is about DPS. In running UK and Nexus I can hit about 670-680 dps and that is about 70-80 dps (if not lower) shy of the other dps in the groups. The only thing I can think of is that since most of these mobs die fast I don't get the time to have my bleeds take full effect before they die. I do notice that my dps ticks up a bit on boss fights (I think due to the duration of the fight). Any ideas?
** Oh and the rotation I do is FF,TF ,Mang,Rake,Shred,(if I don't have 5 points shred again), Rip, then I more or less Shred +Rake to keep points up to Rip when I can and Mang to keep the debuff up.
The second thing I was wondering about is why on both of the specs in the FAQ you don't take 5/5 Furor and on the High dps spec the take Feral Aggression (I thought we focused more on the bleed damage and not on FB). The only reason I ask (and I know this is more 5 man geared) is that I tend to have to pop out and toss a heal or innervate the healer from time to time and I really enjoy being able to pop back to cat with full energy and just start slashing away again. Is that talent not really worth the points?
Thanks in advance for any info guys. A lot of the posts on here have been a big help.

tigers fury, if spec'd proper should NEVER be done that early in a rotation...
ff mangle shred savage roar shred till 5 cp rip... basically... slight variations depending on group comp and other stuff...
if its one mob dieing fast then instead of rip use bite...
if its more than (3+) mobs then i would just swipex2 tf swipe till dead
(this all depends on if you can reach all the proper talents at your lvl which i cant recall right now)
oh and 3/5 furor is generally considered acceptable since by the time you shift in and use one ability the energy you were short will have regenerated.
and 5/5 for the bite talent is due to the fact that there is no where else to put it that increases dps as well once you have filled all the preferred talents

Thanks.
I don't have (cat)swipe yet so that is where my rotation came from. I don't really understand why you you would use TF after you have burned through so much energy (not sure what the energy cost of cat swipe is). Wouldn't you want to use it with the most energy you can to take full effect of the increase in damage?
