starting a new char

If you go a druid (which can be molded into any spec {healing, DPS, Tanking}) then I reccomend feral. It gives you DPS (plus there is tonnes of leather DPS gear in Northrend) and tankability in bear form. I have 16k armor, 700 DPS, 17.2k HP in bear form. Mangle + Maul can crit for 2.2k, and with Glyph of Maul, Maul can crit on another target for 1.6k. I get tonnes of crits, and with a talent, whenever I crit I get 5 rage. I have 2.6k attack power, and there is an ability that gives 200-300 threat + attack power, which means I can gain 3k threat on an instant ability with no cooldown.

druid tanks are almost obsolete. with the rising of paladin tanks recently and now deathknight aoe tanking abilities being discovered... druids are rarely needed as tanks. unless they got some amazing talent/skills from wotlk that i havent seen yet.

To level go feral. You have absolutely ZERO (0) downtime from 1 - 80. After that I suggest resto for pve, which is very much desired, and boomkin pvp. If you don't believe me, then u haven't seen a true druid play boomkin - its ridiculous.

Druids are the best tankers for bosses in my opinion. Also, it depends on the skill of the player of who can tank. Druids are better for tanking single targets (bosses, empowered single trash mobs) and warriors, Death Knights, Paladins are better for trash mobs in groups of 3 or 4.

I'm not speced for holy damage, but I can take out a good 3-5 mobs my level before regening. I have 5k+ mana.

 

[TFlan]

depending on ur gear and play style, are u more aggressive, overkill everything? or the more accurate efficient player who lets his dots tic the last tic to kill something?

 

[Prometheus]

I will usually Holy Fire, then set a SW: P, then smite until they have less then 500 health. By the time their almost dead, my shield has almost run out. I just melee them till they die then.

 

[TFlan]

What level are you again? Don't go smite dps until you can get Surge of Light.

 

[Prometheus]

I have Surge of Light.
I simply need to spend some talent points into Holy Damage.
I'm healz atm.

 

[TFlan]

When I was smite DPS, I did 1 holy fire, 1 smite and a sw: d. between those three skills I would get surge of light for another free smite and it would be dead. Sometimes i would even get 2 surge's and the sw:d wouldnt be necessary

grinded like that non stop for 3 hours in zangarmarsh from 66 - 68

(and obviously using some other spells/talents/trinkets, ie inner focus)

 

[Prometheus]

Well, I guess I'll go grab the Holy damage talents before the rest of the healing ones.

 

[TFlan]

What's your armory link? You may just want to completely respec out of healing, because healing and smite don't mix well.

[TFlan]

yea... go back to shadow. keep the holy gear, but go back to shadow.

Once you get some BC gear from the outlands, and once ur lvl 66 go smite dps with this spec: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bVcruhodbxZbxthbbVb

Then continue to this spec:

Edit::
That spec you threw together... sucks. No offense but it sucks, its impractical for every aspect of the game, you made the priest into a druid somehow.

 

[Prometheus]

lol
Which one sucks?
Also, I made a shadow one.

80 Holy: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bVcbzhZfbtcf0qVuVIst

80 Shadow: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bVcbzbZZGefVRfzcbqfzAo

80 Disc: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=bVcruhotrxsm0oZbxthbbVb

The Holy and Shadow specs are from a PvE perspective, while the Disc one is for wtf-i-cant-die soloing/ 1v1 common pvp, not hardcore pvp

Edit::
all three of those specs you posted stink.

 

[Prometheus]

I'm looking mostly for healing, shadow was DPS based.
Get me a good spec for lvl 60?
