For your hurricane macro try adding in a [nochanelling] condition rather than relying on your stopmacro.
ie: /cast [nochanneling] hurricane

You can preface [nochanneling] in other macros too.
That way, your Wrath won't interrupt your Hurricane.
A reason why channeling spells break on druids is often because of the /follow.
As soon as the slaves shift into a slower-running form and /follow is still on, they move closer to the master.
So break /follow when you're in animal form and are about to do a channeling balance or resto spell.
i finally managed to get my druid team working very well in instances. i was ready to abandon my druids for PVE and setting up my DK Team when it hit me. The DK's are successful in PVE because they're all four in blood-tanking spec, so why not go 4x bear?
Instead of wiping on nearly all the trash groups i now complete (normal) instances in easy-mode.
The trash groups i used to wipe on now don't even require healing anymore.
While i did about 8-9K on the cats, i do 6-7K on the bears, but since the bears require much less healing, the fight can take much longer without any problems.
Bears are also much easier to manage. This is what i came up with as a DPS rotation:
Single target:
#showtooltip
/startattack
/castsequence reset=target Thrash, Lacerate, Mangle, Lacerate, Lacerate, Thrash, Lacerate, Mangle, Lacerate, Pulverize
Multiple targets:
#showtooltip
/startattack
/castsequence reset=target Swipe(Bear Form), Thrash, Swipe(Bear Form), Mangle, Swipe(Bear Form), Lacerate, Thrash, Swipe(Bear Form), Mangle, Lacerate
They're probably far from optimal, but they get the job done.
i open the fight with a demoralization roar and 3 faerie fires on the 4 bears. (why use the improved faerie fire talent when you got 3 druids to cast it :) )
And i mixed in a Growl every 2 seconds on round robin, to spread the healing a bit.
There hardly is any information on dps-ing with bears, which makes this team even more interesting.
Only thing i good find is this very helpful thread:

Videos will follow as soon as i've done some heroics ;)
Is anybody rocking 5x balance?
I need to look up some old posts about eclipse management.
Eclipse is different than it used to be. Much easier to manage as far as i am concerned. Check Merc's macros for a balance macro set.Quote:

I would love to see some movies of someone doing heroics with 5 druids in any form. I gave up on them, but never could get the moonkins to work. With the moonkins i only got 75% of the dps the cats were doing.
Round robin Typhoon for knock back and daze. Alternate with your main dps macro. Daze is 6 sec, 5 uses up the cool down on the first. I use a bear. It gets kinda close sometimes depending on the mob/situation. Or you can space Typhoon in your main macos. I personally don't want to want it to be stuck on a 20 sec CD if i mess up the timing.Quote:

Just to bump this thread, has anyone successfully cleared heroics with 5 druids of any combinations of specs?
