I know this was on the last page, but if I die doing PvE, then I am doing something majorly wrong, even if I'm taking on elites by myself. It takes me about the same amount of time to trap and nuke something to death as it did when I was feral to pounce and scratch. (Bear form always seemed/seems increddibly slow to me, so I only used it for tanking.) Also, you're an almost mage in plate armor. And someone mentioned not getting as much aggro due to all the DoTs, which is true, but whoever said that you'll be towards the bottom is wrong. You should be towards the middle or up. If you're not, your gear is crap or you're not using your cooldowns enough. (I'm usually #2 in 5 mans and 4-6 in 10 mans, depending on what other DPSers there are.) You'll probably never out do a rogue or a mage, but you can be up there and you won't be the first one to die either.
But it's true, Feral is the fastest and easiest way to level, but it's not as hard to be Balance as it used to be, since it's easier to find gear for it now.

You get plate as a druid? What?
Alex C:
Moonkin get the same 300%+ armor bonus Dire bears get, so both are roughly equivalent to plate and can go much, much higher (Warriors get by OK and tank as well as ferals thanks to the magic of Parry & Shield Block, not higher armor). Ferals typically have the highest armor in the game, but that's mostly just due to itemization and the Thick Hide talent. Since blizzard has decided to stop putting in so many items with boosted armor, Feral and Moonkin forms should be closer together in armor than ever before. Really, the big reasons ferals are usually given the edge in self-sufficiency is due to Improved Leader of the Pack and the fact that they don't need to burn mana or halt their mana regeneration to DPS; the only times a feral really needs mana is in emergencies. Moonkins, on the other hand, are still tethered to their mana pool. At 60+ it's not a big issue since a properly geared moonkin will have much, much better casting stats and can do more with less anyway, but it can be a problem when you're still just leveling thanks the lack of balance gear in pre-BC content. On the upside, I'd much rather bet on a moonkin than a feral druid when it comes to stopping dps and dropping emergency heals.
I realize I keep throwing up walls of text, but I can't help it. I just love warcraft.
masquerade:
And you obviously love moonkin, which is why I have decided that I love you. There, I said it.
Anyway, you're right about the emergency heals. I can shift to humanoid to cast a quick Regrowth or Rejuvenation and be back to Wrathing pretty damn quickly. It's why I keep heal spells up on the action bar above my regular spells (I don't use mods) so that I have quick access to them.

My dwarf can honestly say his best friend is a tree.
Me and My tree
We do everything together apart from levelling.
And whoever said boomkins are less DPS than rogues and mages, mages and locks maybe but as a tank in def stance 1h and shield 17k armour 15khp I out DPS'ed DK's, Rogues, Hunters all higher levels than me in much better purplz gear. I am not saying I am awesome, just rogues and hunters in my experience suck for DPS. I was not trying to DPS, I was keeping aggro and making sure SS/TC/SW were hitting as much and as often as possible.
