Heh heh heh :] Something about the "in order to challenge feral tanks" makes me smile xD
Same ^_^ Let's bask in our OPness while it still lasts!
Edit: 2 more changes aside from SD, 1 a nerf and one a buff (but also slightly a nerf :p)
Bear Form -- Stamina bonus lowered from 20% to 10% and Heart of the Wild health bonus from 10% to 6%. Bear health should be close to plate tank health with this change.
Survival Instincts -- Damage reduction changed from 60% to 50%. Cooldown reduced from 5 minutes to 2 minutes. Duration still 12 seconds.
Equal hp compared to other tanks, they told us this would happen, but that was a looooooong time ago, I was hoping they'd forgotten :p
SI on a 2 min cd is effing sweet though! Even though the damage reduction has been reduced by 10%, it'll finally make the 4set T11 bonus worthwhile!
Edit # 2: just looked at the changes to the other tanking classes, and I noticed they now all have a 2 min cd which lasts 12 secs and reduces damage taken by 50% (Shield Wall, Guardian of Ancient Kings, Icebound Fortitude and ofc SI)

Loving the change to SI. 50% on a 2m CD coupled with a 20% on a 1m CD just owns.

Feral
Mangle (Bear Form) now deals 360% normal damage, up from 230%.
Bear Form now increases Stamina by 10%, down from 25%.
Survival Instincts now reduces damage taken by 50%, down from 60%. Cooldown changed to 3 min, down from 5 min.
Savage Defense now reduces damage from the next physical attack that strikes you by 35% of your attack power, down from 65%.
Restoration
Rejuvenation now costs 26% of base mana, up from 20% of base mana.
Revitalize is now a 2 Ranks talent, down from 3 Ranks. Now has a 20% chance to proc at all ranks, now regenerates 1/2% of your total mana (down from 3%) and cannot occur more than once every 12 sec (up from 6 sec).
Heart of the Wild now increases your Stamina in bear form by 2/4/6%, down from 3/7/10%.
Most was announced already, SI on a 3 min cd, yadda yadda, Savage Defense nerf, yadda yadda, stam nerf, yadda yadda ... but wait, what's this? Mangle (bear) damage
increased
by about 50%? Holy ****! And it's already critting for 18k (for me personally), only outplayed by Fury Swipes iirc o_O
o, and rejuv costs more mana, QQ

Feral
Leader of the Pack now causes you to heal for 4% of your total health and gain 4% of your maximum mana. Down from 8%.
(Mangle) Mangle base damage increased by 55%, from 667 to 1044.
Haha, did i see this coming? Oh yes, i did. 8% of tank hp is just too much. It was like having a constant rejuvination that ticks every 6 secs from a druid with a humongous amount of spell power.
They did not specify which Mangle they mean in the patch notes. The link on MMO shows that it is about the bear mangle though. So yay, moar buffs.
Okay, i dont think druids are all that OP now. Perhaps our damage is maybe. I do believe that we will do the most D/TPS of all tanks by miles. So they might tone that down too at some point in the future. But who knows, maybe there will be more adjustments to savage defense or something.

the mangle change is probably the same as the one I posted. Since 230%>360% is also a 55% increase, more or less.

New beta build:
Druids
Feral
Thrash now deals additional bleed damage, up from damage.
Restoration
Efflorescence's healing effectiveness now diminishes for each player behond 6 within the area.
I wonder why they wrote 152x3 instead of 456. Did they mean (3% of AP + 152) x 3 ? Anyway, yay buffz. I am very much looking forward to AoE tanking in cata. It is a pity that the low lvl druids will kinda suffer though, since firstly, they get Swipe quite late, and secondly, they will only get Swipe with reduced damage, and no trash. The lvl 81+ druids will be totally fine imo, thanks to Trash and Swipe (you guys DO remember that Swipe dmg gets lowered in Cata, right?), but what about the poor leveling guys?
Efflorescence change is logical.

Fix'd ^_^
I have a feeling many many people will start calling trash thrash and vice versa xD. No trash when leveling? If only!

Troll druid EPIC_FLIGHT_FORM.

Finally, something worthy of considering a race change. Still not gonna do it though, the feral forms look too fugly imho. But damn, that's one sweet flight form (bat form woop!)
Also,
Worgen flight form
, /yawn (might have been posted already, I don't know. Nor do I care ^_^)

I'm not a big fan of the bonked-on-the-head-while-tripping-on-acid,-mon troll feral forms. Like, wow, srsly.
Also ... the epic flight form looks like a wyvern. I'm glad night elf doesn't look like a hippogryph.

I'm enjoying that balance redesign, badly needed with the changes to eclipse.

Me too, but Im (unfortunately) enjoying Resto more since the changes. Having said that tho, I intend to level to 85 as Boomkin so itll be interesting to see how the new features scale with level.
I've heard we encounter mana issue around 83 as we level but that was a while back and before the Euphoria and base mana costs of SF and W got reduced on the beta so I'm not aware if they helped or not.
