Glyph of Moonfire
>
Glyph of Insect Swarm
(I would think even in PvP)
Intensity (Rank 2)
>
Moonglow (Rank 3)
, take 2 points out of Moonglow and move them into Intensity, this should actually give you enough mana regen that you could replace your Innervate Glyph.
Your haste is a little low (the aim is at least 400), but there's not much you can do about that except look for upgrades with haste. You should definitely look to upgrade your wrists, that MP5 is taking up a slot that should have haste or crit. Even look into the PvP bracers, most likely they would be an upgrade.
Idol of Lunar Fury
>
Furious Gladiator's Idol of Steadfastness
. This alone will give you a HUGE dps increase. The proc stays up nearly 100% as long as you keep moonfire on a target. Once again, I would think even in PvP this could be an upgrade.
And last but definitely not least,
Improved Faerie Fire
is WAY >
Owlkin Frenzy
. This means that you are missing out on a constant 3% crit increases. Up until now, the changes made shouldn't effect your performance in PvP, but this is the big difference. You can expect other druids will lesser gear to keep out-dpsing you. It's just the commitment you have to make *sad face*

I didn't even notice he didn't have OOC, that is a must have.
1 point in Intensity, 1 Point in OOC, take the points from moonglow.

You need to get a MainHand OffHand combo as it will provide a larger boost to Spell Power for you and that is HUGE for us.
You have more the 360 Hit rating on you...
How much Hit Rating do I need?
Hit cap for a Boomkin is 17% (~448 rating @ 26.3 rating per %).
Balance of Power
drops this by 4% to 13% (~342 rating) .
With the use of
iFF
or
Misery
it further drops by 3% to 10% (~263 rating).
If you have a
Draenei
in your group(must be in group not just in raid) it drops by 1% to 9% (~237)
Your gemming is WAY off of what it should be for for either PvP or PvE
What way should I gem my gear?
Gems :
Meta -
Chaotic Skyflare Diamond
Hands down the best in socket no matter how you look at it. If you have a meta socket this needs to be in there.
Red -
Runed Cardinal Ruby
This is the best red socket gem in the game for us.
Yellow -
Potent Ametrine
or
Runed Cardinal Ruby
Runed Cardinal Ruby
is the best gem to place in a yellow socket
unless
the socket bonus will give you 3 SP per socket you wish to swap the ruby out for at which point you would use
Potent Ametrine
.
Blue -
Purified Dreadstone
or
Runed Cardinal Ruby
This is the tricky one of the bunch. If you have the Meta you will only want two of these. If you do not have a meta or already have 2 blues filled then gem
Runed Cardinal Ruby
in these sockets
unless
the socket bonus will be 8+ SP.
Jewel Crafters gemming
Place
Runed Dragon's Eye
's in every Red socket that gives you Spell Power bonus first. Crit bonus second. Haste bonus third.
Otherwise Follow the above gemming guidelines.
Note: Due to the relative ease in acquiring Epic gems through PvP (10k Honor) and PvE (10-20 Hero badges) I only have info for the epic gems.
Note2: You are not required to socket a gem that is the same color as a socket you are putting it in. You only do that when socketing for the bonus.
You are missing
Brilliant Spellthread
on your legs.
As stated earlier the
Idol of Lunar Fury
is VERY strong for us.
As stated earlier Move the points from
Owlkin Frenzy
over to
Improved Faerie Fire
As Gemily take 2 points from
Moonglow
and put them into
Omen of Clarity
and
Intensity
You best glyphs are
Starfire
and
Moonfire
and a choice between
Insect Swarm
(best),
Starfall
or
Innervate
glyphs
When looking for gear look for gear that has SP and 2 of the following Crit/Haste/Hit. Sometimes you have to take a piece that has Spirit on it. This is less optimal but an ok choice if you honestly think you can't get a better piece that doe snot have it.
Edit: Gemming Section is a bit off... I guess I need to update the FAQ.

Here is the spec I use:
Boomkin
That is the same thing I just respeced into except I do have the moonglow point instead of genesis. I am still a fairly fresh 80 though so I have plenty of other DPS wrinkles to iron out and can't really comment on how effective it is. Both your spec and his are very strong spec's for starting out or if you do not have a consistent source of Replenishment.
