In World of Warcraft Patch 4.0.1 Balance Druids were given a new resource to manage in the form of an updated Eclipse mechanic. As a result, Moonkins find themselves quickly trying to smooth out a new rotation. Lucky for you, I have already done the heavy lifting. After the bump, you will find everything you need to know about the Balance Druid spell rotation in Patch 4.0.1.

Best Feral Tanking Spec for 4.0.1
Now that we have gone through how to Feral tank in patch 4.0.1, now it is time to make sure our talents are in the right place. At the moment, there appears to be one clearly superior spec for Feral tanking. Though there is some room to tweak the talent layout to suit your preferences and play-style, this spec will serve you well in terms of survivability and threat generation. Find out why I choose these talents after the bump:
Blizzard Has Plans to Save Inscription in Cataclysm
For those of you who were worried that the new glyph changes would drastically harm Inscription as a profitable enterprise in Cataclysm, it's time to worry slightly less. Blizzard has just announced that after level 80, swapping out a glyph will require a new reagent called Dust of Disappearance.
Though Dust of Disappearance will be sold by NPC Inscription vendors, it may also be made by scribes. Unlike with Vanishing Powder, however, Dust of Disappearance's 10 gold vendor price should still leave room for scribes to turn a profit by undercutting the greedy NPC's. Feel free to check out the official announcement on the forums.
It will be interesting to see how the dust settles for Inscription. Theoretically, the same number of Glyphs will continue to be produced as scribes level up their profession. Unfortunately, however, since the small market of players who swapped glyphs on a regular basis has been eliminated, demand will ultimately drop. This should tank prices. I am skeptical that Dust of Disappearance will make a huge impact on scribes' wallets, but Blizzard has frequently implied that they are none too concerned with the ability of the crafting professions to turn huge profits. Thankfully the current glyph boom should last well into the early months and diligent scribes may be able to make an expansion's worth of profit in the coming weeks alone.

Feral Tanking Guide for 4.0.1
After a brief sabbatical, I have returned to Druid Digest just in time to help you sort through the confusion that is Patch 4.0.1 for World of Warcraft. As anyone who has logged onto the realms recently can tell you, World of Warcraft's mechanics have drastically changed. This is particularly true for everyone's favorite fur balls: Bear Tanks.
Don't panic though. Many have speculated that these changes may lead to the extinction of Feral Tanks, but I am here to help put those rumors to rest. Feral Tanks are every bit as viable as they were before the pre-Cataclysm patch. Are things more difficult? Absolutely, but using the tips I have outlined below, you will be back out there as a clawed threat machine before you know it. Read on after the bump.
