And enjoy Druid i find it the most fun class but stick too feral till lvl 40 atleast
Not alot of gear for for us bears till lvl 60 youll be making rogues angery :).
And in pvp you gotta use everything you have to win dont forget you got more than 1 form.

But till lvl 25 we suck and questing is hard.

Do not use Mods from wowui as linked above! unless you have some serious trojan protection, just go read the official wow forums for all the problems people had with this site and hacking thereafter.
Best addons can be find via ACE www.wowace.com The addons on wowace is updated almost daily and they have a real nice auto-updater program. For adddons outside of the ace collection I prefer to use curse gaming wow.curse.com also well updated site with links to standalone addons such as Auctioneer and ctmod.
Usualy all these sites have search options to seek specific addons, and they have mods devided into druid, mage, caster, raid etc etc.

I have only played druid up to level 30 ish and hardly needed any mods for that, but some mods I would recomend are:
Decursive (addon to easily dispell curses from raid or party members)
Bartender2 (you always need more buttons and the default bars are just not good eneugh)
Onebag (allow all your small bags to be seen as one big bag, easier to manage)
Quartz (modular casting bar, with lag correction build in, even feral druids may find it usefull to heal now and then ;) )
Outfitter or Wardrobe (to switch between armour sets and weapons fast, since most druids will have a bag filled with a healing, tanking and dps set)

All other mods I would recomend is for endgame, so no need to go into that.
 
One small tip for everyone downloading Mods.

Never ever dowload a Mod that is not Zip'd
Once downloaded scan the Zip file by right clicking on the file and select scan for Virus (Make sure your anti virus is up to date) once done and there is no issues, extract to the interface/addons directory.

This will keep you safe on every Mod you download ;)
 
Morning,

A few tips:
Hot key your forms (One key shifting to other forms). This saves time and often your life (Example: You pulls too many mobs, switch from cat to bear, damage reduction, hit frenzied regen, gain some HP, switch back and finish mobs off)
You can heal a group all the way to 60 and higher if you have gear, harder but not impossible.

Once you get prowl, your life changes, you usually start off fights in prowl and behind the mob (ala Rogue style). Once you get pounce (lvl 35), it becomes even more easier to kill a mob. Time your attacks and by the time the mobs actually starts hitting you, you have dropped his HP's by 40 - 60%.

Lastly: Macros (sp?) like hotkeys, are your friends. Google druid feral macros.

I cannot think of anything else as I have been resto for ages now (Guild requirements and it's a lot fun trying to keep mages alive in raids ... )

This was the cookie cutter build I used to get to 70. Things might have changed with all the patches although I don't it would be major changes. This build is by no means a 'you must have build'
