Since dual specs will (HOPEFULLY) be out in the near future, here are my optimal builds for bear tankage and cat form damage...

Bear Form Spec

You can actually go TWO ways here -

1) you can use your last points to chase down natural shapeshifter and then put points into adding 4% damage to your attacks in bear form, which is worth about 6% additional threat...use this method if you find holding aggro is an issue for you..

2) put those last points into the expertise talent and then use your last three points for something else (i chose to dump mine into reduced fear duration and stun damage becuase tons of mobs and bosses fear / stun us)...since expertise IS important (it reduces the chance for a raid boss to parry, thus meaning we take less damage, AND it lets us hit the boss more which means more threat), I chose that option, since threat isnt really an issue for me unless im in a lower end instance...

Cat Form

This build ignores a bunch of survivability items like thick hide and being super stealthy, but it maximizes damage to the hilt with the extra 4% crit talent and the extra 15% ferocious bite damage....there is ONE point leftover to do something with - I put it in the "last stand" talent for that extra health in times of need - I think thats a bargain for a last loose point...
