@gewalt
It is not *wrong*... It is "intermediate". :)
If I was teaching a feral druid to dps, I would get them 90% (maybe 95%?) of the way there with the rotation I suggested. Then, after they got that down, I would mention saving the Ravage proc until after TF (which, IIRC, happens when the Ravage proc has 1-2 seconds before expiring). Better that they USE the free Ravage rather than to lose it due to being a second slow while learning.

@Elorah
You should really never use Pounce...
On my druid, Pounce does ~8700 dmg for 50 energy.
Shred does ~11000 for 40. And Rake does ~21000 for 35 energy
**None of those dmg values are counting a bleed increase debuff like mangle**
If you are going to spend the energy, use Shred or Rake, not Pounce. And if you aren't going to use Pounce, then you have no reason for Stealth (Prowl)
That is why Pounce just sucks as anything other than a Stun opener... (which all bosses are immune to anyway).

Holy crap I hate this comment system. Why on earth doesn't adding a comment to a COMMENT SPECIFIC view reply to that particular thread rather than to the thread as a whole???
