There has been debate on what does more dps either cat or boomkin. I'm a boomkin so I'm bias and will say balance :D but
honestly like it was said before try them both out. DPS is really only a measure of how good your gear is. True talent in raiding is doing what you need to do, not getting hit, getting to point b from point a w/o causing your raid to wipe.
So, try them both out. Learn all the trees as best as you can because being able to fill any role needed is a very good quality.-
Arex ~ Druid 搂 Ciant ~ Paladin
My opinion? Try 'em all out. The ability to switch up is why druids rock. Between 70 and 80, I spent 6 levels as feral, 2 as moonkin, and 1 as resto just to keep my skills up and try out the new talents.
Stockpile gear for alternate specs if you can (while not taking it from people who need it more for their main specs), and re-spec whenever you get the urge. If you have to run
a few instances in sub-par gear, it probably won't matter all that much anyway.
Running as feral/tank helps you appreciate the job of a healer much more, and vice-versa. Druids are in a unique position to be on both sides of that one.
