i have a level 65 balance spec druid and i'm definitely enjoying the druid, and its moonkin.
i love the versatility, especially when you have different sets of gear.
i use 1 set for PVP, one for questing/dungeons, and one for healing.
the pvp set is basically mostly 'eagle' stuff, loaded up on stamina and intellect.
i'm working to build enough points, however, to buy the special purple pvp gear with heavy resilience support as well as spell crit. but in the meantime eagle is good..
on the pvp battleground, when in pods of my team i often just sit on the edges of mass fights and entangling root the heck out of everyone. i will literally toggle enemy and root, toggle, root, toggle, root, toggle, root. everyone once in awhile i'll starfire, moon, and wrath if necessary, but in these instances i just root the heck out of everything in a support sort of role. it's highly effective and most of the time i get by far the most honorable kills on the battleground.
for quests/dungeons, i bust out a full set of invoker gear. it gives me a spell crit chance of near 30%, and when i use a starfire and moon fire spell (while you're waiting for the star to cast, be hitting the moon, it will instantly hit after star), i can get 2800 and round 800 points damage. thats 3600 spell crit. not bad for level 65. throw a swarm in there, and then blast away with wrath, or just keep doing the star moon combo: works great. i usually get in the top of the damage meter standings in the dungeons i'm in, unless of course i'm with a level 70 rogue with all purples... :) the lack of stamina with invoker gear works good in the dungeon context, or while questing, because in dungeons you have healers who support you and while questing you do enough dps to take out pretty much everyone before exhausting your health. and with the good self-healing skills of druid, as well as innerverate or treants if necessary, you can get out of pretty much any situation.
as a healer, i throw on physician/healer gear, with heavy intellect, stamina, as well as healing bonuses. with a sweet full set of gear you can get an extra healing bonus of near 1000 and even though you are spec'd DPS balance, i've been able to heal in lots of dungeons for major groups. i use my innerverate a lot, of course, and always have an extra huge set of major mana potions to back myself up in case. i also make sure to use elixirs, both battle and guardian, as well as scrolls to buff up.
anyways, moonkins rock. find a potent staff and keep building your staff skill up, so that when you're farming you can use it, especially at the end of the battle a few times. it helps to conserve your mana, and it also awards you bonus mana, cuz moonkin melee absorbs mana.
just some thoughts...
