Civilian

As a fairly new 70 druid and even greener tank I find my self with a short time-line to come up to speed and learn as much as possible before wotlk. I was wondering if the more experienced players could share some of their resources, macros, and addons they use.

Any help and advice is greatly appreciated, ty.

Currently working on these macros.

#Druid Single Target macro
/startattack
/castsequence reset=4 Mangle (Bear), Lacerate, Lacerate, Lacerate

#Druid Single Target macro (Rage dump)
/startattack
/castsequence reset=4 Mangle (Bear), Lacerate, Lacerate, Lacerate
/cast !Maul

#Druid Multi Target macro
/startattack
/castsequence reset=4 Lacerate, Lacerate, Lacerate, Swipe
/cast !Mangle (Bear)

#Druid Multi Target macro (Rage dump)
/startattack
/cast !Mangle (Bear)
/cast !Maul
/cast !Swipe

Elitist Jerks has a thorough feral thread

And for gear, Rawr is essential must have

Here's my general purpose spam macro for kitty form:

#show Pounce
/cast [stealth] Pounce
/startattack [nostealth]
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","0")
/use [nostealth,combat] Bloodlust Brooch
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","1")
/cast [nostealth] Mangle (Cat)(Rank 3)
/cast [nostealth] Claw 

What it does:

1) If I'm stealthed, use Pounce instead of Mangle
2) /startattack is useful for switching targets in a fight so that you don't miss any white swings, but only if not in stealth so I don't accidentally break stealth with a white attack
3) If in combat and out of stealth, use trinket.  Turn off sound effects before and after so that if it's on cooldown you don't hear an annoying ding.
4) Cast Mangle
5) Cast Claw, just so that this macro works when I'm not feral spec.

I have a similar but shorter macro for Shred/Ravage, i.e. nostealth/stealth

Ive read through the elist jerks thread prior to the Patch. Most recently i see alot of the changes in feral and itemization still seem to somewhat in the air, with a common to be evaluated clause at 80 catch line.

Im downloading Rawr as i type this thanks. http://druid.wikispaces.com/Rawr btw your link has a slash after druid

Can't think of any amazing must-have macro's tbh. Only ever used two, a powershifting macro and:
/cast [stealth] Ravage
/cast [nostealth] Shred

which basically combines Ravage/Shred into one button. Both are completely useless now that Blizzard gives us a stealth bar (and most bar mods for that matter) and you no longer gain energy on shapeshift to catform.

Only must-have addons are/were stun-watch (Quartz completely replaced this), itemrack/outfitter and druidbar. TankWarnings isn't too bad, but spammy and annoying to me personally. Druidbar shows your mana when in bear/cat and energy when in caster/travel/moonkin/wetbagofsh!t forms.

NaturEnemyCastbar is a good one to have if you have room on your UI and a system that doesn't get bogged down easily. This mod will kill your framerate but tracks everything incoming and outgoing that has a timer associated with it.

Powershifting is dead right?
