Feral druids are very flexible, being able to tank and DPS by switching their gear without a need to change talents. Able to assist on the DPS when a off tank is not needed. They are most of the time the preferred off tank or even main tank. Their high HP allows them to mitigate both physical and magical damage. Unfortunately, they lack the big cooldowns like warriors and paladins, and can only rely on trinkets to survive high damage spikes. Barkskin is a good cooldown, but can only be used out of bear form. If well itemized, feral can take the least damage out of all tanks.

With this feral druid talent tree a druid can Tank and DPS. The talents in [Improved Leader of the Pack], [Natural Shapeshifter] and [Feral Agression] can be shifted around has needed. For powershifting [Natural Shapeshifter] should be maxed. [Intensity] gives 10 rage instantly when using enrage, the investment of 3 points for this 10 points of rage seems wasteful when most of the time when tanking rage is not an issue at all. On the case of not tanking and rage starvation from that fact, 10 rage is the same amount a druid can get from powershifting.
