Take a look at the
Feral Druid Section
in the FAQ and then make your own decisions on what to gem for. You have to keep in mind that not only agility and stamina are the main concerns of feral tanks, but also expertise and hit. Then you can choose what gems suit your needs. Also pay attention to slot colors, sometimes they help you socket with hybrid gems while maintaining a balanced status.
There are no 'best' gems to use. Only gems that help you reach your desired state of attributes / ratings balance.

For blue socket: +24 stamina
For red socket: +12 stamina +8 agility
For yellow socket: +12 stamina +8 hit rating
My gem choices. I like filling my socket bonus requirements, even when they are not so good.

Same as Thror here, except for 3 of the red and/or yellow gemslots are solid dragon's eyes.

Well, the only benefit bear gets from Strength is attack power, i think, so the Strength gems are most probably just for better threat generation. I prefer Hit and Expertise for threat generation, i think 1% more attacks landing is far better than all attacks having +25 damage. (also, who the hell needs more threat generation for a bear, lol)
The urge to gem for Strength might also be a leftover from the Burning Crusade times, where feral leather pieces would commonly have Strength, Agility, and Stamina on them, but thats a problem of old-timers being unable to adapt to new things.

Strength gems are of no importance for feral tanking whatsoever. Strength offers so little overall benefit it's not worth gemming for. Anyway, traditional tanking amulets, rings and cloaks provide some strength, but that's it.

Don't put a prismatic in the BS belt socket you can use it to get a socket bonus from another piece of gear. Not a big change all things considered but definately easy boost.
