1. I’m not the guy you need to follow for this.
2. Go hit up http://pajay.blogspot.com/
3. Check this out:
That doesn’t necessarily work all the time, but helped the hell out of me. Basically the ideal is to Pounce, Mangle, Rake, get a 5CP Rip, then get distance, Bear, Feral Charge, Bash and by the time he’s out of stun the Rip will have worked a bunch. A bunch. And a half. Use BadKitty or similar addon to keep track of Predator’s Swiftness procs and use a Cyclone macro (see Useful Druid Macros link on the right) to cast it instantly straight out of form to do a ghetto Vanish – i.e., Shadowmeld to Cat Form to Stealth to reset fight or Pounce. Nature’s Grasp is your friend. Innervate and instant-cast Regrowth too. Weaponswitch macros are nice but not as great in combat always.

4. There’s also some good feral arena players, but mmmyeah, need links and explanations and guides and help. I’ll get around to it.
Arena spec that may or may not be optimal but it’s a start:
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?druid#-T3gV8uZiUHWK,qyM,10958
CB world pvp spec (decent or good with PVE-sourced trinkets, weapon and Emblemsofwhatever-bought PVP gear):
75 SpellPen will take care of Cyclone resists – this is mostly an arena thing
Agi/Resil to ~900-1100 depending on arena (less Resil unless you’re expecting to outlast and not just run a lolburstlol comp like I did in 2′s) or world pvp (less) or BGs (more – HKs come from staying at Blacksmith or with the “Honorable Defender” buff and SURVIVING AT ALL COSTS) then Agi
ArPen – dunno if you can get high enough without a boatload of PVE gear that’ll sink your Resil to one-shot status. Unless you’re running with an ArPen trinket I wouldn’t bother.
Learn 2 Shadowmeld – this is the only Vanish-like thing you got.
164 Hit Rating against lvl 80 targets.
PVP gear – from Honor (easy).
…from Emblems of Heroics (easy)
…from Wintergrasp (easy but frustrating)
…from Emblems of LatestRaidInstance (moderately frustrating, depends on a fair number of other people)
…from rated arena (hard and frustrating unless you have arena experience or are a VERY skilled player. I – for example – am NOT.)
PVP gearing strategy for raiders:
Take top 2-3 PVE items you have. Add as much PVP gear as you can grind from easy sources. Always keep 4-piece pvp set bonus unless you have a plan that’s beyond me.
Current spec:

Not necessarily good. Sort of experimenting and learning this stuff. Plus I’m not even in the slightest interested in arena or BG – that crap is not real pvp imho.
THOU SHALT NOT ACCIDENTALLY BURNETH THY COOLDOWNS BEFORE THY ARENA MATCH STARTETH
Thou shalt not trinket Cheap Shot. I think. I suppose trinketing it could start the stuns DR, but generally not. I think.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiT6Lm0wlGM – a bit short but helped me out a LOT while learning how to deal with feral pvp, esp. good for newbies

Looking for more blogs, guides, up-to-date videos etc.
Barkskin whenever you’re stunned or being attacked.
Moonfire and Abolish Poison/Decurse needs to be on buttons that are NOT only accessible AFTER you’ve shifted into caster form. I.e., hitting the button will cast it and shift you out in one go. Moonfire macro’d to hand rocket tinker.
DO NOT open with Feral Charge – Cat unless as a last resort or you know you won’t have to use it for a while.
You HAVE TO have an easy and very visual way to track Nature’s Swiftness. Your main form of CC and healing windows is from procs.
A stun is better than damage if others are attacking your target too. Which is why the outnumbered faction is a mess in WG, but I digress…
Paladin – you HAVE to have a way to track bubble. You will have to restealth. You’re essentially fighting 2 health bars and his mana bar and his cooldowns.
Warrior – Pounce, Mangle, Rake, get 5 CP, Rip, get distance, Bear, Feral Charge – Bear, Stun.
DK – dunno much. Pets mess me up. Frost I’m just ****ed. Blood if you get the whatchamacallit debuff you’ll be healing him. Diseases up the wazoo that you can’t cleanse unless you got potions that don’t work half the time or someone with you. Otherwise same as Warrior in that you want Rip to do its work while he’s stunned/not paying attention.
Rogue
1. FFF
2. FFF
3. FFF
4. any questions?
Ok, bleeds, don’t get caught in caster or cat very much. Barkskin when you do get caught. Demo Roar **can sometimes** break stealth. Same with Swipe – Bear, but for that you have to have something targeted afaik. Vanish is messed up, still.
Hunter
NG the pet. Feral Charge. Close distance. Shred Deterrence. Expect the FD. Trinket the Scatter Shot and then sit and feel like a stupid jack-*** in the Freezing Trap for X amount of time. Very few Hunters will get caught by you Hibernating the pet nowadays.
Mage
Save the Feral Charge for Blink. Shadowmeld and restart the fight after Ice Block. Shift the frost nova, trinket or Barkskin the Deep Freeze but it’s on a 30sec cooldown (and can be reset?).
Priest
Berserk the Fear. Build CP and pool energy on Dispersion. He’s usually dead when he’s out of it. Kill Shadowfiend, huge mana thing for them.
Shaman.
Squish. Expect the Thunderstorm. Totems die easy. Resto die hard. Wolves go bear.
Resto druid
F*** you. Expect the shifts. Rocket boots, Dash, FC, Maim to stop movement or catch up.
Balance
Stun the stunfall. Expect the shifts.
Feral
Rogue/Warrior hybrid.
Warlock
TBC bane of me. Wrath tables have turned. Berserk lolz fear what me scurrred? The other thing is a horror effect that can’t be busted.
