You can do just about anything in 20 hours if the drop rates are on your side. Sweeping general statements are not needed. If you don't have anything of value other than "use a ret as prot" why bother posting? Obviously ferals bring something to the group. ESPECIALLY MELEE GROUPS. Leader of the Pack = 5% crit (and most bears spec impLotP for the 4% total health heal) PLUS infected wounds (50% movement speed reduction + 20% attack speed reduction) AND Demoralizing Roar (Enemy AP reduction). All those jive REALLY well with melee teams. Not to mention in combat rez, Imp Gift of the Wild, and exceptional tanking ability in mediocre gear.
