Kitty, Combat, or SV. Oh my!

Good day!

I've been skimming these forums, hoping to find a nice clear-cut answer to a question which has been nibbling away at me. The question is this, how good are Feral Combat Druids at 80 in PvE?

I've seen in one thread mention that a good kitty = frost dk but then I looked even further to see that frost dk appears to be in the middle. Now, being in the middle is pretty common for Ferals in general but we have access to a fairly strong Mastery and the way it stacks at 80 makes me wonder if this gives them an edge.

I'm using a SoR and just kind of looking around with Combat Rogue and Survival Hunter being the other options.

So, if anyone could chime in on Feral Combat as well as for Combat and SV, much appreciated.

Thanks!
 
Feral > combat/survival. Assassination > combat, and Marksmanship > Survival. Haven't simmed survival, but i guess given it's extra AP, it probably sits equal to combat, which is 3k (outside ICC) less than assassination (which does 23k dps). Feral can probably land higher than frost dks, perhaps 24k or so, where frost is sat at 21k
 
One more question which I also seem to find fluxuating data on are Ret Paladins. I know that they are missing their big hit at 80 but they too have a pretty nice Mastery to play with. Is it enough to off set the level 81 talent or does it just leave them with spotty DPS?

No, it isn't enough to offset the talent. BiS gear outside ICC pulls 17k, and that's using shadowmourne. I'm not sure how an 81 would fare, given that they can get the stonecore sword.
 
SimulationCraft. All set bonuses and some trinkets aren't working.

In the "Overrides" tab you'll need to add the following text to make it work for level 80s:
Code: 
level=80
target_level=83

Then whenever you import a character, you'll need to remove all references to level 81+ spells in the "Simulate" tab.
