Launch changes

What Blizzard's final notes before launch changed for this class.

Bear Form and Dire Bear Form threat +115%
Before +50%
What it means Compensates for Paladin Salvation's removal
Official[1]
Lacerate is now a Feral talent (row 4, 1 point, in Primal Bite's old place), not learned by every Druid; two new low ranks let you take it early
Before baseline for all Druids
What it means Bear tanks get it from the talent; the launch client has ranks at levels 25 and 34
OfficialDatamined[1]
Ferocious Bite has a new rank 1 at level 24 (old ranks renumbered one higher)
Before first rank later
What it means A finisher earlier while leveling
OfficialDatamined[1]
Poised (new passive at 32): out of combat at full Energy, your next Energy ability costs 10 less
Before none
What it means Cheaper openers (Pounce, Ravage, Rake)
OfficialDatamined[1]
Cat damage: Shred 200% weapon damage (was 155%), Claw 140% (110%), Ravage 435% (350%); Rip, Rake, Ferocious Bite and Pounce base damage and attack-power scaling about +25%
Before lower
What it means A large Feral Cat damage gain
Official[1]
Starfire base damage about +40%
Before lower
What it means Balance hits harder
Official[1]
Balance: Genesis +2/4/6/8/10% periodic damage and healing
Before +1-5%
What it means Stronger Moonfire, Insect Swarm and HoTs
Official[1]
Moonkin Aura and Leader of the Pack again raise every type of crit, and they do not stack with each other
Before spell crit (Moonkin), melee and ranged crit (Leader of the Pack)
What it means One Druid crit aura counts per group
OfficialDatamined[1]
Feral tree: Heart of the Wild moves to Restoration (swaps with Furor); Predatory Strikes column 1; Natural Instinct column 4; Rend and Tear column 1 and +3/6/9/12/15% (was 2-10%); Berserk removed; Primal Bite becomes a 1-point row-7 talent (3 ranks, needs Leader of the Pack); Predatory Discipline (new, row 4 column 3, in Shifting Power's old place): Ferocious Bite no longer spends extra Energy but still gains damage from it; Shifting Power moves to row 7 behind Predatory Discipline
Before Berserk at 31, Primal Bite and Shifting Power at row 4
What it means Feral now has two 31-point talents: Primal Bite for Bears and Shifting Power for Cats. The launch client gives Primal Bite ranks at levels 40/50/60 with higher damage (base 26/38/59 → 42/62/77) and halves Shifting Power's cooldown (16 s → 8 s); neither number is in the notes
OfficialDatamined[1]
Restoration: Furor moves to Feral; Naturalist +2-10% all damage (was 1-5%) and -0.1 to -0.5 s Wild Growth cast; Reflection to row 2 and Subtlety to row 3; Gift of the Earthmother removed; Bloom (new, row 3): when your Rejuvenation or Regrowth expires the target is healed for 100% of your Spirit (50% if it was dispelled); Swiftmend needs your own Rejuvenation or Regrowth (it does not consume it; the tooltip's "consume" is wrong per Blizzard); Wild Growth now has a 3 s base cast
Before Wild Growth instant
What it means Restoration loses its instant group heal and gains Spirit-based healing
OfficialDatamined[1]
