Cataclysm Classic Feral Dps (Cat) Druid Guide

Cataclysm Classic Feral Dps (Cat) Druid Rotation

Rake
on your enemies and finding opportunities to use

. Feral Druids are similar to what they were in Wrath of the Lich King, but
Savage Roar
moves down a bit in priority since it only affects auto attacks.
