You can grind to 40 pretty quick as feral. Like, a couple days if you hustle. IMO, there is no such comparison to grinding as a feral druid in dps gear. It's efficient, you heal yourself, you get stealth, you stunlock(to a point), and after you get up to intensity, you regen the same as a healer.
Just so you know, I know someone who is trying to instance level, and it is slower than slow. She has a couple months play time already, and she's a 63. If you just have to be a caster, go balance. Resto doesn't start to shine till you get lifebloom combined with tree form anyways, although intensity is where most of the resto regen comes from.
My suggestion, which may not be the optimal, but will be way better than drinking like a fish, go resto to get intensity, and then go full balance. You can respec once boom is available if you want, but you will have no regen inside 5sr until you get to dreamstate without it. Also, with dreamstate, you will probably have less regen than with intensity.
I still recomend feral grinding tho. Just IMO.

I didn't like feral till 30 or 32, and then started to really love it when I got mangle. Get talents that increase your damage only for leveling. Also, get brutal impact and shreding attacks. These are key leveling talents once you get pounce.

Balance is a fine leveling build, especially if you have some outside source of cash for your character. I was surprised to find tons of +Intellect leather gear on the AH. But relying on drops or quest items means you'll be wearing a lot cloth. Leather is better as you will be taking hits and melee'ing things down at the end of each fight. (This is also why I highly recommend 3/3 Brambles for soloing.)
I went Balance at 29 and it's been great, but only because I bought a set of gear on the AH. Without a high Intellect it is pretty slow going. Leather is preferred, but Intellect is a necessity, so wear cloth if needed.
(P.S. I recommend Feral in the 20s just for Feral Swiftness. In the end it is faster, but also one of the most boring characters to level.)
