With glyph of catform (20% more healing on you while cat) + DoC (20% more rejuv and HT) + Cenarion Ward feels good... I think survival is decent/where it should be. The tricks is you can keep your combopoints rolling. Finnishers = great heals. Getting alot of cc / burst, surviving will be more challenging (because your not building CP's and not making finnishers). But you can't have all imo. I think feral survival is wellbalanced, even after the 20% nerf (Battle fatigue).
I think we are too powerfull in offhealing. Like i said in the above answer, i think how we can heal ourself is fair. However with DoC, we duplicate every heal on our arenapartners on ourselves, even your 80k HT crits... If think this could be toned down. Its fun to be able to offheal for okay numbers as melee dps, it fits our great hybrid role. However i think its a bit much you heal yourself for those exact numbers when your casting on someone else. You should be either healing yourself OR your partner, healing both in the same GCD is a bit much.
Not quite sure what your asking
If your talking about playing with (or without) classes who tend to use your DR-catagories (like rogues), i dont think alot of comps wil be especially seen less or more. Example, i played with some random rogue vs resto drood/hunter. We did manage to lockdown targets quite good. And if my rogue got in trouble he could easily vanish/stealth were i could heal him up (without much trouble). So i'm saying, there's more to take in consideration when trying different combs, and DR is just a part.
...but maybe some new combs will be born with better DR-CC-chains, done ~hundred games on Beta (on different classes) and haven't seen a special feral comb in particular.
A big YES! Most of this comes from the savage roar glyph. When i'm PvP'ing, my focus is on my teammates, surviving, locking my target down, keeping my HP up, keeping my target bleeding, CC'ing that healer that is LoS'ing my clones... etc. I'm not f*cking PvE'ing where i need to get my shitty buff running or else i'll be doing 40% less damage then every other PvP'player, because this stupid spec is built to have it up at all times.. (can we call that even a buff, your basically 40% behind on everyone else when it's not on).
In addition to that. Less buttons, on live I run with my Razer Naga and double key functions (shift-marco's) and I still had trouble binding every necessary button for PvP. Now i'm (just) fine... The amount of abilities feels just feels right (can't say this about Hunters/Retri's/Blood DK's on the other hand. Dumbed down way too much, way to little (rewarding) buttons to press)
