It would be more helpful if you specified exactly what your build is built towards,

Its a very weak tanking build considering you left out

Thick Hide
Natural reaction
& protector of the pack

If it is intended for only raid cat form dps the build is fine i can spot nothing wrong with it apart from having feral charge which has already been mentioned..

Although excluding yourself from one half of the game (pve/pvp) as a cat specced feral druid stinks as a bit strange, im currently specced for tanking only

yesterday i tested out an arena build, and although its maybe not something you are concerned with, spending some points in brutal impact and primal tenacity is well worth it

also it think its worth mentioning that nurturing instinc is nothing to be sniffed at, it gave me roughly +600 healing in cat, and tbh with druid mana efficiency in the current state it is shifting can often leave you short of mana in situations you need it most, for instance;

As cats currently have no form of aoe shifting out to cast a hurricane is often more effiecient at adding up the dps, and maybe even healing yourself once in a a while (also reduces the actual amount of mana used to heal you as you are healed for more.

It just my opinion on a really underrated talent

Cat DPS, I'd suggest this: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=0ZEGMsfrz0eR0huVo0Eczb

-No Improved Mangle. You should be using this every 12-18 seconds (depending if it is glyphed) if you're kitty.
-No Infected Wounds. I love the talent, but every tank can do this, sometimes even easier than you.

Six points

-One to Survival Instincts to deal with raid damage. Great in a pinch.
-5/5 to Feral Aggression. Shoot the messenger, but if we are talking about maximizing DPS, you'll likely be using Ferocious Bite (especially with the +50% crit chance, that's 65% from talents alone) from time-to-time. Considering how high I've seen these numbers, this is a nice addition. Expensive, but worth it over other choices.

Possible others: Nurturing Instincts. If you're in Cat a lot (as DPS, you should be), this talent will make you less trouble for the healers, and give you the edge you need when trying to heal yourself. Lifebloom/Rejuv and switch to Cat, reap the full benefits of this talent.

If you take a point out of Feral Charge (I personally don't suggest it, huge utility in my opinion), make sure to take the Glyph of Dash (minor).

Glyphs~ Go with Mangle and Rip. If you have a Druid tank, don't worry about Mangle, he'll be spamming it. Other than those, you can pick up a Bear glyph (Maul or Frenzied Regen) or the Rebirth major for picking up tanks and such. Getting people back into the fight is easier if they aren't missing 10k HP, especially in high raid-wide damage fights. Shred is good for pvp (and trash? <_<), but probably doesn't have any place here.
