    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

    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.

    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.

    /castsequence reset=combat Typhoon, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire,
    /castsequence reset=combat Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Typhoon, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire,
    /castsequence reset=combat Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Typhoon, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire,
    /castsequence reset=combat Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Starfire, Typhoon,

    I'm curious about this combo as well in PvE. I've tried the 5x mages and it was very fun. Will 5 moonkins be able to pull off the same tactic? Pure dps-power and let all five of them have aggro bouncing between them?

    Default bump it up

    Bumps for the updates. I have a 5 druids sitting at 80 now for like 9 months, looking into the cata abilitys of them. This thread has shed a little light, but I put more effort into my easymode sham pally combos which is why I have never been great with my droods. My problem was holding aggro, as well as effective healing.
    Last I played them they were bear tank, 3 balance and tree which I guess is more of a buff than a transform now. Any success story's would be helpfull!
    The Guild of ME? <--Armory
    4 x Mage 80
    1 x Pally + 4 x Shammy 80
    5 x Druid 80
    2 x Pally + 3 x DK 76
    4 x Pally 65
    4 x Locks 60
