Blizz, Last patch you claimed to buff druids. But all you did was innervate. You thought that would make it so that feral druids and balance druids could actually get in an end-game raid not being restoration. Well, you're wrong. You forgot to buff balance and feral. Neither of those trees are viable at all. And still, you made it so that our tier 3 is healing gear. And yet, you make the +AP in cat/bear forms a epic drop in a raid, which druids will never get because we are stcuk healing (which is what your tier 3 is encouraging). Why do you not make the +AP in cat/bear a rank 14 weapon? PvPers are the only peoploe that will use this.
And after all that, you still end up buffing a over powered class.

I'm not specifically certain what you're referring to when you state that we claimed to have "buffed druids". We generally don't use such subjective terms as "buff" and "nerf". One man's buff is another man's nerf in most cases anyway. Regardless of that, you seem fairly upset, and I get the feeling it extends well beyond the specific gripe(s) you're expressing here, so I'm not sure what I could say that won't appear to you as though I'm attempting to add insult to injury.
I'll take a stab, regardless.
The decision to convert a talent ability to a core ability is not one we make without much deliberation. In the particular case of the Druid's Innervate, it was determined that the class as a whole, (regardless of a particular non-restoration build) was suffering to some degree without it. We felt this was true whether a player focused on raiding, dungeon grouping, PvP or even solo play. Despite your belief, this decision was not one made in an attempt to alleviate the pressure some face in the raiding guilds that have decided to force their members' to spec down a particular path.
As far as your comments pertaining to the Dreamwalker set are concerned -- you should be aware that we tend to statify item sets obtain through PvE accomplishments with PvE desirable statistics and bonuses. This doesn't satisfy all players, we realize. However, until the expansion releases, and players can begin customizing their items using the socketed item system, we'll never be able to produce high quality items (particularly sets) which are pleasing to everyone. We do our best to create items that we feel are worth obtaining and attempt to market them properly to players of a given play-style.
