I could have written this letter! I have the same exact problems! I've been moved back to being a alternate in our Raid Group because of my DPS. No matter what I do or how good my gear is, I'm still in the lower-to-middle part of our DPS charts. Sometimes I think the only reason they still let me come along occasionally is for the comic relief of my big feathered behind trying to stay out of the fire. (Best trick I've learned--Kitty Form and Dash are still good for something in balance spec!) I'm tired of feeling like the ugly chick at the dance--and am seriously thinking about leveling another alt to raid with. I would hate to abandon my Druid--I've loved playing it so much! I am going to try some of the suggestions that you gave, Tyler, like casting Wild Mushrooms more and only while in Solar Eclipse.

Now I have a question--if I cast them in solar, but leave it before I detonate it, do I still get the added effect?

When you cast Wild Mushrooms doesn't matter, it's when you use Detonate that causes the damage. Detonate is the only spell that's modified by any damage effects. Detonate doesn't take a GCD though, so you can use it at any time.
