Shifting Perspectives: Balance druid talents and the illusion of choice {WoW}

Mar 11th 2011 8:23PM Furor is a good talent to take, even after you're suitable with mana management. It'll help out on your innervate that you will use on a healer (and don't think next tier healer's wont need mana).
Gale of Winds is a good talent, if you have those mana regen talents, you can afford to cast hurricane, and with it glyphed, it makes a great form of AE slow if you don't have a frost mage, DK, or a hunter (Which is often the case in our groups)
Fungal Growth is great for the same reason, especially on fights like Cho'Gall.

These talents you consider worthless may be situational to your group, but that's where the choice comes from.
I'm hitting 78k AE dps without Gale of Winds (with Hurricane counting for 60% of that total AE damage, and typhoon somewhere in there too, but mostly from that initial mushroom burst), which would bring that up to ~90k.

Owlkin Frenzy holds the same spot as in wrath though, incredibly situational and disputed to specific fights.

Shifting Perspectives: Balance druids vs. Cho'gall {WoW}

Mar 8th 2011 1:32AM Starfall and Typhoon aren't the only abilities you have that can interrupt worship. Cyclone is horrible for it, don't even think about using it. (Imagine a healer MCd, and is now stuck in a crash for the full duration). Tauren have a racial, War Stomp, that is incredibly useful for this fight.
Also, be sure to bring the Glyph of Hurricane; it helps a ton.
