Here's what I'm using on my druid:

Not saying it's the absolute BiS or that you should gear as close as possible to my druid, just figured an armory would probs help you a bit
Some haste for faster casts + hot ticks obviously, also when windsong procs you'll have a good 40-50% haste which makes your regrowths just about 1sec cast, which is as fast as you can spamheal with regrowth (since gcd is 1second for cast-time spells, going under 1sec cast won't make you heal any faster )
Minor speed is always nice even though druids are still the fastest class in the 19s, and with the additional stam, boar's speed is the best boot chant to pick imo. Heavy borean armor kit being the second best, if you don't want the speed increase and would rather take more stam.
Resist cloak, 9,09% resistance to all spell classes (damage and CC). Soaks up quite a bit of damage in the long run, and the chance of fully resisting spells is amazing. Downside is that it's really hard to get this chant anymore, it's been grandfathered but theres a small chance you could find an unbound BoE cloak with it. Wouldn't count on it though.
Neck, well there aint a whole lot of silences in this bracket, and you should fakecast all the interrupts. If you're horde, you don't face any blood elfs in the gulch so you might wanna change this to +3 stam neck. But if you aren't 100% sure about your fakecasting skills or just don't need that 3stam that much, pick the voice amplificator.
AGMs use effect is not really good anymore, but the +12 stamina makes it a good pick for second trinket if you'd be low hp otherwise. PvP trinket is a no brainer, you're going to need this as a healer. Since the CD got changed to 2min, it should be used by pretty much any class and spec at all times.
Try to get around 2k hp, as the burst is really high atm. +188 mana on chest should keep you from OOMing even at big midfights.
Displacer beast is the spec I would go with, as it gives you a pretty safe getaway from melee classes and from casters range. Wild charge is nice for peels or keeping enemies at place while your team blows him up, but doesn't provide as good getaway abilities as displacer beast. Feline swiftness gives a constant high movement speed, but also lacks the ability to escape a fight instantly.
Weapon enchant is mostly preference I think, but I've experimented with quite a few enchants and windsong is my favourite so far. No ICD, can proc twice at once, giving you +56 haste and +56 crit (around 20-30% of each I think), giving you fast heals and a big chance to crit, which is pretty crucial right now with burst DPS being so high. Like I said earlier, gearing a bit towards haste and using windsong keeps you at 1sec regrowth cast pretty often, and with the crit proc you'll also have really close to critcap on regrowth (10-20% from gear, 60% from regrowth itself, and around 20% from windsong). Also, when you get dual proc from windsong and pop lifeblood, your HoT ticks will be godlike
A huge wall of text right here, I hope it helped you a bit and gave you some idea of how to gear your own druid. As I said earlier in this post, do not copy my gear or take all of what I say as an absolute fact, as the patch hasn't gotten too far yet and I haven't played restodruid THAT much. If anyone else knows better or has something to correct from my post, please do. Any questions you have, PM me or quote me here and I'll try my best to help
(ps. amazing how you could write 5 A4s of text of 19s twinking in one go, but god damn if you gotta write a school essay, it'll take days...)
