nice reply
ok, just to clarify, I didn't really mean 35 agi is terrible, It's just that I find it to be very inferior to crus and goose. I can see how you are right about your second statement: the burst damage can be boosted by a static enchant. Even though by the time you have 5 combo points and drop the Rip or Ferocious bite, you'll most probably have procced the enchant. Also, as my playstyle consists of kiting (using my +30% speed) while my bleeds do the damage and I regain energy, when I come back to finish it off the proc will still be up.
However, your first statement can hardly be considered a point: I have no problem at all for lading Shreds on my targets. Actually, many times they turn their backs on me accidentally by themselves (it's hard to control that since your "back" is a 180º area).
Your third statement is not quite accurate. Bear form still has some instant attacks to boost the proc %, like Swipe (which I'm not sure about its proc mechanics: It would be OP if it could proc off every hit, can any warr confirm this in Whirlwind's case?). Also, with Primal Fury and more than 1 enemy around, Swipe becomes spammable. And ofc bear benefits from crusader, and mongoose to a lesser extent.
And I don't quite see what do you mean with your last statement. Sure, a rogue has more control over the fight, but I can't see how that affects his procrate. Maybe you mean that the druid gets beat on earlier and as such he doesn't have that much time to proc the enchant in kitty before he has to shift, but that depends on one's playstyle.
I obviously have a decent mana pool, what I meant is that without the improved lotp talent, the mana regen in combat is horrible, you could even say nonexistent, so no matter how big it is, after enough shifts or heals you'll be oom. Playing conservatively helps tho, and with the feral charge we lack in the 29 bracket we have alternatives to powershifting.
About the weapon speed, I might have explained myself wrong. When wielding a 4.00 weapon enchanted with crus, it has a roughly 7.3% proc chance. When you shift into kitty you have 4 times the attack speed, and also instant attacks, but you RETAIN that 7.3% proc chance.
EDIT: wow, I take all that back. I did some further research and it seems I was wrong. Mongoose/crus take your present atk speed into account for the calculations. So in kittie you'd have a 1/60 proc chance. In bear a 1/24. But since you don't have many instants in bear form (and it seems Swipe can't proc it either), 35 agi seems like a far better choice.
