So I'm considering putting together a tanking set and spec for tree and tanking (instead of tree and balance). I never raid balance anyway and while I enjoy being able to kill things quickly while doing my dailies, that's about all I get to use balance for.
For those who have played feral, is it pretty easy to get dailies done as a bear?
Or is going tree/bear going to gimp me since I don't have any dps spec I can change to easily?
Clearly I'm a bear form noob - haven't played one since my pre-MC days lol
Thoughts?

There shouldn't be an issue going tree/bear; I tend to find killing mobs no problem as bear on Voe. Plus, you can always go cat form if you need a little extra dps, though bear is also pretty good at it, especially if its multiple mobs (no rage issues then).
I kind of lost my train of thought halfway through that; if there's something specific you have a question on or I really jumbled that explanation, let me know...

Thanks, Ari! I've got my tanking set together though of course some pieces could be better. I'm especially having a hard time finding a second trinket (I dropped alchemy a while back and am glad lol but the trinket would have been nice now). I'm having no problem doing my dailies as cat/bear so that has been fun for a change. I think I'm going to like it!

What trinket do you have as the first trinket? The badge one is not too bad for starting out, depending on if you feel like spending the badges. The one out of H.AN isn't bad, though I never bothered to get it because I have the jewelcrafting Crab one (with JC-only-+stam gems in it, that's like 160 stam on that trinket or something, plus the use-dodge...). The Greatness: Agility is a great dual trinket; I have it for both tanking and cat. (It replaced my badge trinket, I think.)
I know I have a ton of other trinkets for situational things (pretty sure Voe has like, 10 trinkets in the bags...) but those are my main bear ones. (I think I still carry the expertise one and the Commendation out of H.MgT... Actually, Commendation probably wouldn't be a bad temporary one depending on what you're using for trinket #2 for now.)

I did snag the 40 badge of heroism trinket. I would like to get the Greatness: Agility as the second but haven't seen it on the Ah and I think it was pretty spendy last I saw it so it may be a few days of farming before I could buy it anyway. I think I need to run a few heroics. I'll remember that about H MgT - thanks! Yeah right now the second trinket is a spell damage with the proc being haste LOL

Greatness: Agility is from the Nobles deck, so watching the AH for Nobles cards you can find some fairly good prices, or even for the whole deck--it has dropped a little since it started, though not as much as it could have the last time I looked which was admittedly at least a month or two ago. The other possibility is to farm a ton of herbs and give making cards a shot, though the chances of it a) being a Nobles card and b) being a Nobles card you still need are not wonderful. I don't know what Nobles cards I still have from when I was planning to make two decks, but I'll see what I've got in two weeks when I get back in game, if you haven't put a whole one together. I could also hop on Py and do a bunch of milling and card making for you if you want to give it a go that way. (I'd certainly be willing to trade cards if you decide to try that. And it would give you some weeks to gather mats. : P) Another temporary tanking trinket is Seal of the Pantheon from normal HoL--I think its Loken--which is an equip of +def and a use of +armor; it has the bonus of being from a normal and not a heroic so you can run for it multiple times, and while its not excellent, its an upgrade over the spell damage and haste proc. : ) ((Elitistjerks also recommends the H.AN trinket as one you want to aim for out of heroics; Seal of the Pantheon is their "entering heroics" gear suggested trinket. Greatness:Agi is the second for both sets, since it can be bought and therefore is pre-raid gear. It also lists it as 4k-6kg; not sure if its that low on our server yet, but... Commendation is also listed, down in the options-by-slot section. elitistjerks.com/f73/t62193-feral_tank_pre_raid_gear/ if you want to see more.))

I think what I will do is farm herbs and ore and then sell those to make up the money to buy the Greatness:Agility. At least at this point. Then we'll see what happens. Sounds like I do need to run HoL at least for the Seal of Pantheon in the meantime.
Thanks Ari!
