Gearing and spec look pretty good to a off-off-spec kitty. Nice haul for only 50ish badges collected.
Kitty DPS will suffer a bit on anything that dies in under 90 seconds, unfortunately this means poor DPS in most heriocs.
Rotation practice is essential to good DPS, spend a few hours on the dummy till its all muscle memory, it's amazing how much
this can increase your DPS if you are still learning!
As for rotation I'll quote the ever-wise druidsock (there's some good info in the Druid 202 sticky!):
Quote:The first step now is to FFF, then Mangle to get a CP then immediately pop SR. Next get Rake going. Now you either Shred or Mangle to generate CPs all while keeping up the
assorted buffs and debuffs while not standing in the fire or other assorted raid damage.
The general priority system is as follows:
Is Faerie Fire up, if not FFF
Is Rake up, if not Rake
Is Mangle up, if not Mangle
Is Savage Roar up, if not Savage Roar (try and always refresh with a 5CP)
Is Rip up, if not get to 5CP and Rip (always Rip with 5CP if possible)
Otherwise Shred or Mangle
The abilities Tiger's Fury (TF) and Berserk can greatly aid in this. TF will give you 60 energy when you use it, which is great. It should be used when ever you are below 35 energy. Berserk usage is almost counter intuitive. You would think use it in a low energy situation. That is wrong. You gain more DPS when you blow it with a high energy level as it roughly has the effect of doubling your current energy.
Also you can't TF when under the affect of Berserk.
Confused? I thought so. It takes practice to get the system down. Even more to get good at it. Once you get really good at it you can start weaving in FB when in a situation with surplus CPs and long timers left on your buffs/debuffs.
There are others here that know kitty much better than myself, so take everything I say with a grain of salt, hopefully they'll chime in. ;-)

I'm not high enough on my druid to tell you, but from experience, I think that a lot of people over estimate their DPS when talking on boards like this. Yes, right out of the gates you can throw up some big numbers, but some of the claims that I've read recently are kind of questionable...
Socket the belt. Look to replace your two blues and 1 green.
Someone else can help you with the finer points.

things you worry about never happen anyway.
Hi been running toc normal now doing heroics, also got a few emblem pieces but still not getting my dps much past 1.5k embarrassing to say the least. I know it is my rotation but when boss fighting i get all fingers and thumbs and after a few mins loose it completly. I normally start Mangle, rake,
savage roar, mangle to 5 points rip if boss still healthy if not F bite. Any advice on my gear but especially a way or system that will help me to maintain some resemblence of a rotation would be very much appreciatted.
P.S when it is a boss that i can keep behind i use shred to 5 instead of mangle
Thanks
