Welcome to my Balance, Feral, Guardian, and Restoration Druid DPS and Healing guide for World of Warcraft MoP 5.2. Here, you will learn everything you need to know about playing a Druid in a raid environment, though most of the content also applies to normal and heroic dungeons.

The Balance specialisation has undergone repeated changes to its core mechanics on the Beta, and it is not yet possible to state that it is stable. As such, it is hard to accurately evaluate how well it performs, but it suffices to say that it does not lag behind other specialisations. In multiple target fights, Balance Druids can perform extremely well due to the multi-dotting tactic.
In terms of single target DPS, the Feral specialisation performs comparably with other DPS specialisations. In multiple target DPS, Feral Druids perform relatively well, although they do not shine.

Guardian Druid tanks are currently fairly well balanced, when compared to the other tanking classes, although they are somewhat underrepresented. Guardians rely mostly on avoiding physical damage and mitigating it through their abilities and their mastery. Magic damage reduction is provided passively.
Restoration Druids are an interesting healing class. They cannot be easily classified as either tank healer or raid healer. Rather, they perform a sort of hybrid role of blanketing the raid with HoTs while providing good assistance on the main tank....
