Maybe in WoD? There was a huge problem with feral in WoD 39s. Even disc priests would simply flop in feral openers. They banned them from wargames and both sides spam afk reported them in pub games as well, rendering it a pretty much unplayable spec in the bracket.

Check patch notes. I believe ferocious bite damage was nerfed 20%. Happened while you were on hiatus.

I'm not saying that balance doesn't deal damage (never lost to one 1v1 as restoration though), I just don't understand why that is somehow 'more' than a restoration druid can do. By far the best one to carry the flag, amazing heals, great survivability, I often top damage done and healing done. I have a 100% win rate at the moment (only 63 bgs), but I've rarely felt as powerful in any bracket as playing restoration in 39. I can 1v4 and even 1v5 as Restoration, I can't do the same as balance. I run 34% versatility at the moment, the only DPS I lose against once in a while are Arcane Mages.
I'm not saying Balance is bad, I just don't understand how Restoration isn't top tier right now, because it sure as hell feels like it. It's much easier to carry a game as restoration than it is as balance.

This bracket has very few outs or defensive cds so you can just delete targets with semi coordinated burst. Boomkin has some of the best on demand burst damage in the bracket, hence its high tier placement.
Maybe resto should be higher on the list with the caveat that it's the best FC but as a healer/damage dealer there are better options to go with. Disc/mw are flat out better choices for anything but fcing.

I disagree with this. There is no doubt that Disc is the best healer (even after the nerf), but the only thing a MV does better than my restoration druid is healing and stun/cc. I've got better survivability, better mobility, much higher damage (+ better pressure) and all around a better toolkit.
When it comes to group fights, Restoration has the highest damage of any healer in the 39 bracket.
We might have different criteria when it comes to rating the different classes/builds. I rate based on all around performance in a battleground and highest chance to carry/make a difference.
I would love at some point to play with one of these god tier MV's, because I haven't seen a single one so far.
