As for PvP:
Ferals are pretty decent in BGs in 2.4.3, even with current gear you can get some fun out of it. Still, you won't overdps good warriors\bm hunters.
As for arena - feral is viable only with really decent teammates and very narrow range of setups. So if your primary interest is arena - I would better choose other class/spec.

As for PvE - feral tanks are good, but from my experiece all top guilds already have dozens of core tanks and its nearly impossible to find one.

Thanks for the reply . And what you think about dps as feral in PVE

Feral druids are in terms of PvP among the top 3 1v1 classes.
They are rather weak in arena.
They are strong in BGs and can do rather impressive damage.

In PvE they will suffer somewhat unless you manage to grab an off-tank spot.

Pretty much what has already been said.

Fun to play spec? Hell yes.
Owns in BGs? Hell yes.
Arena? More setup options in 3v3 and 5v5 but limited options in 2v2.

PVE?
Lower tier raids, nobody minds having a feral in the group.
Mid tier raids 'can' accept Ferals if no other option is available.
High tier raids, as DPS, unfortunately, Ferals become a less priority.

And wich class is good in pvp/pve as dps.[sic]
1. Warlocks (Very Strong PVE, Strong Arena, Strong BGs)
2. Hunters / Mages (Strong PVE, Strong Arena, Strong BGs)
3. Shamans / Priests (Good PVE, Good Arena, Strong BGs)
4. Warriors / Rogues (Decent PVE, Very Strong Arena, Very Strong BGs)
5. Druids (Decent PVE, Good Arena, Very Strong BGs)
6. Paladins (Okay PVE, Meh Arena, Okay BGs).

Note: In above list is ordered and sorted as my personal opinion and no offense intended to any class.

If you use proper rotation and are in melee group you can do decent dps and sometimes even be on top of dps list. However, like it was said above, its almost impossible to get a spot as feral dps for high-tier raids.

P.S: to sumarize it all: if you want to have fun and ready to put some effort in learning spec - feral would be good choice both for PvP and low-mid-tier PvE (HCs, t4-t5 content). Just be ready that other classes generally perform way better than you, especially in arena.

Highly disagree with this "scale" of strength. Hunters are the top PvE dps, so "strong" is an understatement.
Shamans are GODS in PvE. They are at the top of that list, and it's not even close. Everybody needs them and generally in every spec (although there appear to be about 55 billion ele shamans on the server)
Rogues become insane in PvE once the scaling starts. They're second on the dps scale at endgame (behind hunters)

It's okay to disagree, that's why I added a "note" in my post. While your comments are duly noted, I'd stick with my own opinion for now. Thank you!
