Once I get 5 in furor I tend to start pulls w/ starfire on the first in the kill order, try to dot any adds not marked for CC w/ moonfire (moofire ticks will break CC) and shift to bear and have a swipe waiting for them when they get to me. I agree w/ Jacob up top on his points, maul is great, but only if you arn't in a rage starvation situation. Bash, Growl, Challenging Roar, and Feral Charge are great emergency buttons. (I use bash soloing more as it lets me stop a mob so I can swap out and get a heal on myself) Feral Instincts is another great talent early in the feral tree, we all like more threat. (this is more a later on/end game note but Omen of Clarity is not a bad skill to have if you can get to it) One last note, it may be a good idea to warn your group mates that it can take druids a little longer to establish really solid aggro, and if they can hold of the DPS storm for just a second or two it can really help you get a solid lead on threat. Good luck and have fun! ~Gel I <3 your shaman stuff and wanted to share my fave baby druid tanking tricks.

I didn't pick out the dutch oven (was a wedding gift), but after having dealt with this one - which is fantastic for the stove, but can't go in the oven - I'll definitely know what NOT to buy next time.

How did that even get manufactured? Maybe the boss's nephew designed it? Good luck with the bear tanking! I found it easier than warrior tanking, but still challenging. But that's me. I'm not meant to be a tank, apparently. Wait…a dutch oven lid with a plastic handle? How did that even get manufactured? Maybe the boss’s nephew designed it?

I'm doing much better :) (though, hot showers are still not so much fun) Fortunately most of the blistering was very localized, and has gone down today, leaving me with some red spots and two blisters on my toes.
