Put my group back together on an active server. I run a bear, two owls and a tree. Using innerspace I got the heals covered.
I gave the tank 1-5 keys, the DPS 6-9 and a DoT key on 12.
I am stuggling, mostly getting swamped by mobs. Can't kill things fast enough. Aggro doesn't seem a problem, but I think the 4 Druids should handle same level quests. They have some outland gear so really need ideas of things to do to get better. L2Play is probably a good start :(
I have just completed the leveling from 58-70 in Outland with my druid team. I have mostly done some quests, but have run Shekks Halls and the lower instance in the same spot.
For me a big game improvement was my setup with Vuhdo for healing. It boosted my surviability alot. I only have quest items on my team, and I haven't really paid alot of attention to the gear.
Use the different abilities your tank got when "the shit hits the fan".
I don't use insect swarm or root targets, just pull stuff to my tank and nuke it down with my 3 boomkins.
I don't use click macros or anything fancy. My dps boomkins is on a simple cast sequence:
/castsequence Reset=3, wrath, wrath, wrath, moonfire, starfire, starfire, starfire
/cast Wrath
It works "okey". I can get higher dps if I manage the eclipse procs on a target dummy, but I don't use it in instances. Innervate makes sure I never run out of mana during longer fights.
When I wipe, its because I full to many mobs and my healer don't get the heals off fast enough. Either that or when I get feared/charmed.
I have growl etc. on seperate keys for pulling in mobs which runs away. The same goes for charge.
But for me the healing was the key to better instance runs.
And for normal quests its a joke. Swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe.... My problem is I can't pull enough mobs to make it a challenge hehe.
I use wrath as the main dps spell here, since its a faster cast, and when mobs die so fast, I don't waste precious time on the other toons who don't get to cast since the mob is dead half way through the channeling sequence.
Ohh and if you haven't gotten flight form yet... do it do it do it... it make things so much easier.
What level did you start Ramps. No boosting, but 60-62 was too low for me. Maybe my gear sux, as they were Raftards.

By the time you finish the mb friendly quests in hellfire you should be level 62 and have most of your gear replaced before running ramparts and blood furnace. If your haveing problems with mobs outside and quests a simple 4x wrath spam should make short work of any mob. Most of the group quests are not even elites anymore either. If your having problems with normal and group quests outside of instances, i dont know what to advise.
Hellfire, Swamp, Terrokar, and Nagrand quest lists are in that post.
A lot of groups are 5x Druid.
From your post, it sounds like you're running 4x.
Tank + Tree + 2 Owls.
Going with four instead of five, will make things a bit harder.
But then you have the option for the 5th slot, with whatever.
You'll probably be able to do things a little later then others.
Just because you're missing 1x DPS toon.
But with an extra level or a bit better gear, all the loot is yours.
Good Point, I do have another Druid, but RAF ran out at 56. I also currently only have 4 WotLK accounts which only matters if I fill the 5 spot with a DK. I really don't want to use my 74 DK to help this group, which would mean another transfer. Well that would happen no matter what as the 74 DK the 56 Druid and one of the 4 box are on the Same account.
