I just dinged level 32, and wow druid is fun, but has quite abit of abilities to handle in different stances, even though my mains are rogue/warrior. Number of abilities may not actually be many, but feels like it since I've never played druid.
Stuff like Ravage, Stealth, Charge - Bear, heals et cetera. Need stealth for Ravage but there's no stealth bar, so should I have it visible always and waste a spot on that? Questions like this comes to mind alot, when I play my druid.
I personally like to bind almost everything, but I'm having difficulties deciding what to put on Cat/Bear bar, and what to put on bars that are always visible (I use default interface).
I've checked macros on Wiki, but they felled abit over the top and not very handy in actual gameplay!
Do you guys use macros for easy handling of these things, like binding several abilities into one (like bear/cat charge) or do you bind them each seperately? And how do you divide abilities between stancebars (1-12) and always visible bars?
Screenshots or favorite macros would be cool, but I'm not expecting anything else but a few tips :-)

I leveled feral and used this macro:
#showtooltip
/cast Dire Bear Form(Shapeshift); Travel Form(Shapeshift); Cat Form(Shapeshift); Prowl; Cat Form(Shapeshift)
If you are in cat form, it'll have you prowl. If not in cat form, then it will cast cat form. If you hold down those modifiers (shift, ctrl, alt) it will cast the appropriate form (Cat is listed there as no modifier and as alt modifier for when I need to shift out of cat for whatever reason)
For actual abilities, I always had macros combining them. These aren't all abilities you have now, but they may help you think up things to use for your level:
/cast Rip; Maim; Ferocious Bite
-----
/cast Ravage; Pounce
-----
/cast Swipe (Cat); Mangle (Cat)
-----
#showtooltip
/cast Gift of the Wild; Mark of the Wild
The first macro in that list, being all 3 of the finishing moves you have. The second macro being 2 of the openers. The third macro being 2 different damage moves, one for AOE, one for single target. The last macro is for buffing either yourself or your party.
edit: You can also use stealth for a modifier. E.g.
/cast Ravage; Mangle
. That will cast Ravage if you're in stealth(or prowl, in Druid's case), otherwise it will cast Mangle.
There is also "form" modifier. In my first macro listed, I used it for prowl.
Prowl
. It will only attempt to prowl if I am in form 3, Cat Form. (you can tell which form is which by just looking at your shapeshift bar. Bear is form 1, aquatic is form 2, cat is form 3, etc. etc.)

Bartender DOES treat Prowl as Stealth: I can confirm this on my level 30 Feral.
But yes, all of bionic's advice is solid. Give it a shot.

I have a funny macro that randomly summons a noncombat pet (close to 80 of them) while I comment on something passing out of my bowels. Its fun to use with random people.
