Hello fellow druids :D
Before i jump into randoms, i just wanted to know... If i am a good geared (ZG/ZA Gear) feral kitty druid with corresponding enchants and gems... Would i be able to do the normal heroics just by having tanking specc? Not thinking of doing ZG/ZA in that form but the standard heroics?
Greetings^^

First of all.
There is no such thing as bear tanking gear in game. No leather with defensive stats exists.
As for gems, bears gem agility mostly, just like cats.
As for enchants and reforges, whole difference is there.
Should be fine, you may get some nab people complaining though. I still get it myself (even though i am fully echanted, gemmed and reforged for bear).
By tanking spec we mean
this
(seen people with so terribad bear specs i cant even comment on this).

...came across a cat trying to tank in bear form, he would take uber spike dmg, it does cause wipes.
I think you might misunderstand what the OP is asking. As I read it, he is asking about tanking in bearform AND in bear spec. What you seem to be describing is a cat spec'd druid trying to tank in bearform which does not work, as you have noted.
To the OP:
The differences between bear & cat gear are
mostly
gemming, enchants & reforging; however, due to the different stat weights of certain secondary stats (e.g. - haste) there are some differences in the gear itself as well. To be honest, the impact would probably be fairly minor given your stated gear level and the incoming damage we see in heroics other than ZA/ZG.
Besides, cats already gem, enchant & reforge
relatively
similar to mastery/crit bear builds (vs. dodge bear builds).

Definitely you can as long as you are enchanted and gemmed for AGI, mastery and Crit and not for haste. Agi is the best enchant for bears, mastery is good, and crit is not terrible (dodge is better, but crit isn´t terrible), haste is terrible.
If you have a problem, it won´t be boss fights, it will be trash. Make sure you are positioning yourself right (no melee behind you), interrupting the big hitting stuff (BRC and HOO both have big hitting trash mobs that need to be interrupted along with bosses in SC and ToT), and use your cooldowns early in the fights when all the attackers are still alive. Obviously if you are new to tanking, you want to mark targets and use cc on trash pulls. Marking a skull target is important because you want one of your attackers dead fast.
As you outgear content, crit-mastery is much better than dodge for bears anyway
