5 Druids, spec questions

I'm going to be back at levelling my druids tomorrow, and have been thinking a lot about spec for them. Currently the druids are L18 and tomorrow they will hit 20 and get catform.

Obviously feral is the way to go for levelling, either with 5 cats or one bear and 5 cats. What I'm wondering is, should I go for feral swiftness first, or omen of clarity? I don't have druid experience but if you go for omen first, you get a 10% damage buff, plus a chance for free energy procs which is pretty crazy. Feral swiftness on the other hand, would be very nice in terms of getting around, and I'd get to lotp sooner. Which would do me better until level 34 ish?

Also I want to think of a good way to set up my individual cat druids so that any of them can be macroed to pop out of catform and begin healing with ease, then switch back to cat to do a mana rotation. I haven't quite figured out how to do this yet. I'll have to set up my xkeys, hopefully keyclone ctrl\alt\shift support will be working, or I guess I'll have to figure out hotstrings.

Plan to spend 20->28ish pretty much just grinding in bfd\wc\dm since quest experience is so spotty (I refuse to do gather quests). Any thoughts on spec\grinding tactics?

uh 5 melee, gonna be hard, imo go balance and one druid resto

yeah or bear/boomkin/resto but I dont thing you will need the resto till much higher.

well resto can keep 4 boomkins alive in any instance

and after all you can do some pvp meanwhile with this setup:)

My question is specifically about levelling from 20-69 where feral seems to be the way to go tbh. Even with 5 druids the downtime of drinking is a pita, and they often have to go bear (currently) when they run out of mana in boss fights.

Anyone with druid experience know if it's worthwhile to go for omen right off the bat?

Been treehealing with Omen of Clarity for a long time, it's okay in fivemans, forget about it in raids, and for five druids you'd have to position them in melee (you get nobel prizes for that) and smash until it procs.

If it's just for one resto amongst four balance you can obviously go for it. I feel that makeup will work pretty well after target managment issues are taken care of (and once gear and talents have reached the level where no beartank emergencies are required).
