I'm looking to start arena-ing more now but i still not sure whether to go:
-Boomkin
-Deep Resto
-Restokin
-Feral/Resto (Bash/Charge)
For 2s. My partner will be:
-Survival Hunter
OR
-Ret Pally
What do you think with the new changes in patch 3.1? I see that lifebloom and spirit are taking a MASSIVE hit so maybe resto is a bad idea but i already have 3/5 pieces of the resto Savage Gladiator set...
Also, what set would a Boomkin wear - i heard from some people that with Boomkin in arena you can mix Balance gear with Resto gear to get more mana regen etc - does that actually work?
So what spec and partner do you think works best for arena and what arena gear set should i go for?
Please help me out!

Also, it seems the febloom change may actually turn out to be abuff in pvp - does this mean S6 looks good for trees??
Less than 12 hours from last post and not even moved down half a page does not warrant self bumping and is only likely to provocate further ignoring of your topic.
Have some patience. I don't know that we have many arena junkies among this crowd, but if there are some they're sure to be along eventually.

Two things:
1. From what I hear, burst is king. You want to be able to do massive damage, or to outlast the massive burst from the other team. If either one of you can be killed by the burst from your enemies in under 6 seconds, then healing won't matter as much.
2. Lifebloom's mechanics are changing. It's a difference in play-style, but not a nerf. All it requires is that you let the spell bloom to get half the mana cost back. Additionally, the blooms now stack as well, meaning a three-stack will give a massive bloom + lots of mana back.
Personally I'd go feral, but I am feral, so :-P. I know I can survive burst, since in my PvE gear I have around 34k self-buffed. And I can stunlock as a kitty. Plus Survival Instincts are great. I honestly think feral will be good until higher levels (in my book, above 1850) because of the survivability.

How come you say that feral would be good up till higher levels? When do they become less effective?
Also, at these 'higher levels' what would you say becomes a better spec for druids? Resto?
Lastly, Im leaning towards Resto Druid/Ret Pally at the moment - would you say that the pally should stack Stamina and Resilience over concentrting on pure burst since he will be the one taking the hits (thats the plan at least)?
PS: In season 5 is Feral/Resto (0/34/37) better than deep Resto (14/0/57) for 2v2 with a Ret Pally? What are the advantages/disadvantages of the specs?
Thanks!

Don't go feral resto...
Splitting your trees up that far basically means you'll suck as feral, and you'll suck as resto.
If I were pvping as resto, this build, is what I would use. You could tweak the balance side a bit if you wanted too, and the resto but the feral tree is pretty much set.

The pont of slitting into feral would be to pick up improved bash/charge and also some bear survivability talents (I would use full resto gear).
It would be played as a resto in caster form but it would mean i get more cc (bash + feral charge)and survivability in bear form

I'm telling you man, splitting your tree like that is a bad idea.
The concept of healing in caster form died the second they added Tree of Life armor bonus in 3.0.
Cyclone is your best cc, bash and pounce are not, nor is feral charge.

Between Nature's Grasp, Roots and Cyclone, you shouldn't have any problems with CCing as resto. You still get bash and maim, even in full resto spec, so you can still open with a pounce/maim/bash combo if you really want to. If you're a Night Elf, add in Shadowmeld as a quick way to drop target and get away.
Your HoTs are also going to be 2x as strong as full resto than they would be in any kind of mixed spec. This alone gives you more survivability than trying to get a little more armor/hp from feral.
Now that ret pallies have more than one way to stun and druids can CC so well as resto, you should be ok with going full resto.
The only time I would even think to branch out is to maybe pick up a little more in balance to help with burst damage while their partner is CC'd.
