You will never find a balance druid who didn't have have to off heal, tranq, innervate at some point during progression to help get a kill. That is the entire point of a druid, we are the only class is the game that can become anything we want at some point. If you want a class clearly for the damage then you are playing the wrong class.
Stop trying to have a class changed to your liking, that isn't how games work. That is why Blizzard has made leveling and gearing an alt such a joke because if you want to try something new you can. Appreciate the changes they have given us, sorry I don't want an easy rotation that relies on me spamming SS as much as possible. Feral is easily one of my favorite classes with DoC because it requires thinking. I welcome the DoC change because it just means it's going to be harder for me to be the best druid I can be. Like someone said before, the cream will rise to the top. And if anything should determine how someone is good at playing a druid, I would say being able to think on the fly with our rotation should be what determines that.
