[PvE] Feral and Balance help

[Vayra]

Hey everyone -


so i've been doing as much research as my coffee sleep deprived brain can handle, and I'm pretty sure the TLR is going to end with "Vay you need to learn to use simcraft you god damn noob" but..

I have noticed a lot of differences in guides and have questions I can't find solid answer to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Balance:

Talent choices

Icy veins is saying -

for standstil patchwerk fights (So never?) use Soul + Ephor. For AoE and movment incarn pulls ahead. Incarn + balance normally or Incarn + Flare if the adds will live long enough for the buff.


WoW head/EJ is saying -

Incarn Vs Soul is extremely close but Incarn is easier to get the most out of. So simply use Incarn.

For T100 talents Euphor for single, Flare for multi.



Simcraft for patchwerk is saying-

Soul+ Euphor for single target.



So overall - do I just stick with Incarn and swap between Flare and Euphor depending on if their are adds that will live long enough to get it's full benifit? Is following the general stat priority of Int > Mastery=Crit>Haste>Multi>vers acceptable as well?

Feral:

Ohhh my word feral.

Ok it seems pretty much 100% to use Incarnation. Bloodtalons almost always unless theirs constant adds like a council fight Ex: Protectors from SOO.


For stat priority pure single target - Crit/Multi seems like our best followed by mastery if you're blood talons and haste if you're lunar? But their arn't any real patchwerk fights anymore so mastery seems to up their with Crit (Still gemming/chanting crit though).

Whats an overall safe priority to follow for WoD's first tier? Something to the effect of Crit >= Mastery > Multistrike >= Versatility > Haste assuming i'm running bloodtalons? Does my stat priority change if I run Lunar Inspire? WHen is it worth it to do one over the other?

What about Thrash!? MMo-champ and Icy veins are saying it's not worth it for single target anymore but Simcraft's priority list still includes it. Is it worth it to use it in an actual fight for single target?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry for the scatter brained post but almost none of the normal sites I browse: Icy-veins, wowhead, here, simcraft and elitistjerks agree with one another on well.. Any of the harder / important questions. =c

Halp!

Just a friendly note: can you please structure your post? After a long day at work, I'm getting a headache trying to catch your reasoning
