Great guide explaining moonkin raid mechanics. I've learned a bit myself.
Thanks for the tips, Dunar. Expect me to respec soon into a more raid suited build. (I'm running a PVP non-shifting build at the moment)
I was really intrigued about not switching to Starfire when Nature's Swiftness procs. I'll have to do some testing of my own and see how the DPS on that turns out. Would seem a little crummy on Blizzard's part if wrath was worth while over starfire, even through a NS proc.
Alliera, doesn't thorns generate threat for the player they're cast on when a mob hits them? If that's the case, would it be more effective to pull 2 points out of Control of Nature and into Brambles so thorns gets the damage boost? I practically never find myself rooting in a raid/group situation (Unless it's a CoT instance), and I can't really justify the interrupt protection with cyclone. It's already a fast cast at 1.5, and if you time it right, you can get the cast off without interrupt on many mobs. (That's considering you're even getting hit)
