This is how I see it.
Hunters have a fast somewhat addicting style of gameplay, you hit a button- boom like nearly instant damage with short cast times for most anything.
Druid on the other hand, imo harder to play well and besides moonfire and insect swarm, the fastest damage cast is 2 seconds, ranging up to 2.7 second cast. The style of play is so much slower, and unless you really like that style, its boring.
Sure I can see a mad switch to druids, but when no one can play them, I feel that not that many people are going to stick with them. But hey, I could be wrong. Atleast i know how to play one.

Displace -> Smeld -> Displace = three (two if cd is not up depends on repositioning time) wasted aim shots against a hunter. By that time your target.. last 2-3 targets should be dead. Plus you can eat those aim shots if you want and just spam reguv.
I wish druids weren't getting so OP since I just rolled one in the beginning of July. At least their damage got nerfed by nearly 20%, but they will still be losing respect from the community =(

Why? as said by others, they still have a different style of play, even if they can run around 1shotting people, disengaging across the map, etc... People will still be horrible at it. I can see maybe 5% of all MoP boomies being any type of good. the other 95% will be running around trying to moonfire spam. I can see more people rolling warriors for their dmg and new-found mobility with the in-combat charge.

You will still be able to tell good ones from bad ones, since they have more management involved to keep their damage up. To do their best damage they will need to learn to line up their damage buffs together for a nasty Ferocious Bite that would rip anyone a new hole. The damage was bumped up, but I believe the skill cap has increased.

Ferals have missed the 20% nerfs, but they wre weaker then bal to begin with
I feel sorry for the fool who lets a bis bal get off a starsurge

I was strictly speaking about mitigating the only REAL damage from hunters (aim shot). And I was speaking from a view point of a balance druid; if I was feral, I would probably take one of the other talents because ferals are really only deadly when they have a lot of ToT which no good player should allow (except the +15% for a 144% movement increase will be hard for some classes to deal with).
Respect wise, I ment more that if you are talented with a druid at the moment you can put others in a world of pain, but with the buffs its much easier to faceroll and thus there will be more mediocre players rolling druids. Even though most will not be able to time things well, just like hunters, people will still lump all the balances into one group - over powered class for nubs.
I'm just going to have a blast in world pvp. Camping chests might become a past time.
Good luck trying to stop me from casting in a bush =P haha.
If you do the multiplication prior to the independent crit its roughly 750 noncrit 1.5k crit.
Its great for killing those seemingly immortal healers or if you get tot on an EFC =)
Arena too!
All of the druid specs are pretty good. Guardian is the weakest pvp spec, imo.

All of this i find correct, i like DB, but compared to FS/WC its worthless, if FC'ing(resto) i would take FS, and have more mobility then S12 85's(4.3.4)

increase of druods is due to bwl
I love it, buy plan to go fera/resto(FC), not bal, i should miss most of the Huntard™ crossover
I am glad i can say i didnt roll my druid due to mop op'dness

Just did some testing with Brov on the ptr literally 5 seconds ago, highest that boomkin is critting for is 600, and rogues do more damage than they do on live right now.

Rogues lose a ton of utility, their damage can go up. Dudkins are laughable again. Teehee...
