    The simple method would be.... enough Wrath casts, for most of them to Proc Eclipse.
    And then Starfire a bunch.

    So maybe go with the click castsequence for Insect Swarm and Moonfire, with the click calling a nuke button.
    But having the nuke button on the default bar as well, so you can just cast that if you desire.

    And go something like:
    /castsequence reset=X Wrath (x3 or x4), Starfire (x4)
    EverQuest I: Bard / Enchanter / Druid / Wizard / 2x Magician.
    Diablo III: 4x Crusader & 4x Wizard.

    Not a good idea. Due to the server/client nature of wow /castsequences like this are a dps loss

    It would depend on your latency...
    In my case, its usually 50-150 milliseconds.

    Losing 0.10 of a second per step in the sequence, would likely be a lot more damage gained then to just ignore Eclipse procs.
    If you were to run with .400 seconds latency, I'm not sure on that.

    I'm using my IS Boxer keymap for Eclipse anyway, so in my case the castsequence is a theoretical option for someone who just wants to spam away without thought.

    0.1s lost every GCD is massive and that is best case scenario I estimate this to be 5-10% dps lost depending on gear and RNG. Obviously this gets worse as your latency increases. On top of that there is no guarentee that your eclipse procs will line up. If it was me I would probably try something like this:

    /castsequence wrath,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    /castsequence wrath,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    /castsequence wrath,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    /castsequence wrath,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
    /cast starfire

    obviously the commas need adjusting but you get the idea. This should cast 4xwrath then switch to Starfire. Number of Starfires cast will be dependant on the number of commas.

    5 druids are fun! Yes, for PvE...

    BUT for PvP it's a totally different matter. If your opponent knows what he/she is doing than you're screwed! Boomkins do not have good defensive skills. You get feared (no tremor totem), all offensive spells hit you (no grounding totem), no good way to get rid of melee (typhoon is only a cone, can't use while stunned), starfall does hurt but not while you are feared, stunned or incapacitated... All in all, unless YOU get the jump on your opponent than you will most likely have a hard time downing anybody.

    Your perfect scenario is to 1 shoot unsuspecting opponent with starfire, summon treants, cast starfall and hope for lucky crits and well timed typhoons before they demolish your team.

    I'm leveling a set of druids, well will be leveling soon.. working on a mixed set that is approaching 80th.

    Pretty much, will do the heroic grind in 3.3 with them (probably won't be 80th before the patch), and then use badges to buy Furious. I seriously doubt they will get far enough in arena to buy pvp gear.

    The team is for having fun in battlegrounds with. In that medium, they will be a blast. But I don't think they'd do that well in arena, which they'll do purely for the points. And then possibly join a 3's, purchasing boosting with 2 people who are high rated, to get me to xxxx to buy whatever, with saved up points.

    I think they'll do ok in battlegrounds as a team.

    Typhoon, with five casters, kind of makes one of them being stunned irrelevant. Most of your battles are 5v1 or whatever. I'm sure they'll get destroyed quite often too, for the reasons you mentioned. But they'll be fun to play (very fun so far), and that's the whole point.
