There have been many changes to the druid talent tree with the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion. I tried to set them up to maximize the DPS of cat form, while still allowing me to tank extremely well in bear form. After looking into the talent trees thoroughly, I put together the following recommendations...

The Wrath of the Lich King brings us even more great new features for our pets. In the old game, we had to individually level a pet along with us. If we wanted a low level pet, we had to run him around and manually level him up all the way to catch up to us. Now pets will auto-level up to 5 levels below...

You may have noticed that you only have a few spaces to equip skills on your pet bar, but you will learn a whole lot of skills with the new pet talent trees. At first I thought this meant I could only use so many skills at once, but this isn't actually true. You can use all the skills you have learned...

Hunter pets have seen a major overhaul with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. The whole loyalty points system has been done away with and replaced with pet talents. If you pull out your pet and open your talent menu, you will see a second tab showing your pet's talents. After a pet reaches level...

The Glyph of Mend Pet is a minor glyph that is actually really useful. With this glyph applied, you no longer have to worry about food for your pet. Hunters have to ALWAYS keep a huge supply of food on hand to keep their pets happy. If your pet dies it gets unhappy, and needs to eat. When you feed it...

Feral druids make excellent tanks. They can actually get much higher armor than warriors if they are geared properly. Even with extremely good tanks, many endgame enemies can kill them in about two good hits. Sometimes priests just can't keep up with the heals. That's why I developed a team tanking...

I have another nice trick a druid can do to get a group back up AFTER they have all wiped and are all dead. If the group wipes out completely and all die, make sure they don't go back in. Have them wait there while the druid checks for respawns. If enemies have respawned at the entrance, you will...

I came up with a nifty trick a druid can do to save a group in case of wipes. As I'm sure you are all painfully aware, if the only character capable of resurrecting someone dies, the whole group has to come to a halt and run back into the instance. If it takes long enough, enemies will have respawned...
