yesterday i did three 5man Hcs. The first one had a bear druid tank, and a bear druid dps. Random pug, no one seemed to bother, me neither, i just thought it was a bit wierd. The second HC that popped was a guild group+me. 4 druids. One resto, one bear tank, and two bear druid dps.
Whats up with this? i thought they splitted druid to feral and guardian, melee dps and tank, but now i see bear dps:ers? Just a wierd coincidence or is bear now a legitimate dps specc? What have i missed? new talents or something that lets you do that? vengeance stacking without being attacked or something?
None of the bears did good dps, but they where all poor geared, and not so low dmg that it bothered.

The sample size is too small.

I'm seeing bear druids doing a lot of DPS on AoE pulls such as the pulls before Garalon and Wind lord so I guess it's legit. But then again, I don't have a druid.. I'm a Rogue equipped with Recount so.... ;)

To be honest I would be much less surprised if it was Brewmaster monks... my AoE DPS is off the chain. I have never seen a druid in Bear form claiming to be a "Bear DPS".

If you are talking about heroic dungeons.. then bear DPS is nice.. they have much better AOE attacks, and really, the majority of heroic dungeons are just clearing trash. Then when you get to the boss, there is a talent that gives ´guardian´ tanks really REALLY good dps in cat form for 45seconds.
Plus, if they are all using frezy regen.. more than likely the healer could just dps also. Even when I tank as a bear, I always tell the healer to dps. Unless I really mess up in heroics, I don´t need heals

Maybe they queued as Tank/DPS and got in as DPS, but didn't bother to switch specs?

I would blame the quests that give you gear based upon your spec. Makes gearing your off-spec a bit tougher.

Actually the three bear druid+resto druid guild combo referenced Alamo when i asked in-game:D
"So, how come you are 3 bears in one group?"
"Omg bare durid is storng!" etc etc.
That did not answer my question at all though.

Must be a pleasure healing an all tank group, btw. Maybe that's what was really going on, they were lifting the healer.

I already explained the reason. AOE attacks. Cats have very crappy AOE, bears have great aoe.
Once content becomes faceroll, the fastest way to clear it is just AOE down everything. It is much better to spam thrash and swipe in bear form every 1.5 seconds than to wait for energy to replenish in cat form. If you played a cat druid in heroics, you would understand exactly what I am talking about.
At this point with heroics, everyone should be using the spec with the best aoes.
