Balance druids

[rahven32]

I'm planning on running a dk, 3 balance, and one priest healer group but I have a question about the druids. Would it be better to skip eclipse talent? If I was running just one balance I could just make two macro's to juggle the eclipse proc's but having three seems like it wouldn't be possible due to random proc's from each one. What do you guys think would be a decent multibox spec? I've noticed the best spec's for raiding and what not doesnt always match what is exactly best for boxing on some classes.

Not sure how i can manage it on 3 though. Maybe just watch one and if other's happen to have it then all the better?

If you have multiple druids, the easiest would be to have the sequence automatically cast both Wrath and Starfire without any intervention from you.

A Starfire Crit has a 100% chance of increasing Wrath dps by 30%
A Wrath Crit has a 60% chance of increasing Starfire dps by 30%

You'll want to cast more Wrath then Starfire's.
Both because more Wrath's increase the chance that Starfire Eclipse will proc.
And because Wrath will have the bonus more often, if the spells were evenly cast.

Not sure if the math is correct here, but 100:60 reduces to 5:3.
Possibly 5 Wraths to 3 Starfires.
/Castsequence Wrath, Starfire, Wrath, Starfire, Wrath
As the final dps, when not refreshing/casting Insect Swarm or Moonfire.

Granted, managing two sequences will always blow this away.
But if you were running five balance druids (which might be 1 Feral, 1 Resto and 3 Balance sometimes)...
You would need two Click Castsequences hotkeys per druid, so each could independently cast the correct sequence; it would be way to confusing, and an artificial method like the above is better.

Basically, once it becomes too complicated to track where you are on Eclipse procs, you'd want to switch to a sequence which helps as much as possible. Until then, micro managing is a huge boost.
