I'm probably just being dumb. I have a level 71 druid and I've only done raiding in kara and za as resto with him. My friend and I got into an arguement on raid viability as a resto druid at 80. I believe that resto druids are badass and are always wanted for raids because they have raid saving abilities and great heals. My friend plays a holy paladin and argues that druids are the most worthless healers in the game.
I'm also curious as to whether or not boomkins can keep up at 80 in a raid environment. If they are still good dps, I'm thinking of leveling my druid as boomkin/resto.
Thanks for your time

Viiryen is our raiding resto Druid. That was a log of Vezax, Yogg-Saron, Razorscale and Ignis.
Resto is quite viable and quite useful. Your friend is unwise.
As for Moonkins ... they're not doing as well; but, check out this log:

Tradition is our moonkin. Not a bad showing on that fight. Admittedly, casters have a bit of a disadvantage overall in Ulduar.

Holy crap that was some fast responses. Thanks for the reassurance about resto.
I've never really been a big fan of playing feral. I've tanked heroics at 70 but thats about as far as that ever went. After tanking as a warrior in heroics and raids, feral tanking seemed kinda simple and boring :\
I always enjoyed healing because even at higher levels its still a challenge.

Feral tanks definitely have less buttons to press than warriors ... and whatever you bind swipe to -- that key will get pressed a
lot
. My impression is that it's a purer, more visceral, experience tanking as a druid. In contrast, my other 80 is a paladin tank. Tanking as a paladin is, as I say, peaceful. It's a very calm, placid, flowing experience.

Do whatever you want to do, but know you can be successful in any aspect of druid play if you take the time to understand what you're doing and play to the full capabilities of the class and spec you choose.

I'm moonkin since BC and been on top of my guild's DPS (top 3 dps) all the time. Our cat druid doesnt beat me. Only DPS i can't seem to keep up with is our Warlock's
Resto druids are very good healers + they bring battlerezes and innervates.

i think people sometimes think about wrong then you look on dps charts, being in top is good but it is better you doing the optimal close as possible dps in gear and specc rather than showing e-peen i am FOKING rules you dps chart style. A boomkin is a great ally in a raid and will boost others dps.

Can someone suggest a build for resto and balance at lvl 70 for lvling to 80? There are a lot of balance points that are nice to have but I'm not sure which ones would be most beneficial.
Here is a spec I was thinking of using for leveling as balance:

Tell your "friend" to do go do the last boss in spider wing in naxx with no resto druids and see how they fail. you need someone to have a cleanse poison and have at least 3 hots up on tnak when he web wraps the whole raid. BTW pallies are usually people who are full of themseleves cause they couldn't pass as tank
Necro necro necro necro.
