This may have been addressed a while back by other druids, but I just noticed it. The tooltip of these spells displays different information than what the buff says it provides. The tooltip indicates the values for armor, stats, and resistances should be higher than what the buff says it provides. Any idea why that is? The other druid in our guild noticed it as well. Just curious. Thanks!
EDIT: I am guessing it is due to the Improved Mark of the Wild talent, but why wouldn't it update the buff description as well? Very curious. I guess I should check out my actual stats and see what benefit I'm getting. Hopefully the greater one.

You may be right here Dos. I've seen the something similar with the aquatic form buff when I'm using the glyph.
That monster in the mirror, he just might be you. -Grover
Most buffs that can be improved through talents show up like that--for instance, the buffs from my Windfury, Flametongue, and Strength of Earth totems show the untalented amount, while giving the full buff (which is displayed correctly in my spellbook and on my totem bar). I know there was a similar thing with Blessing of Kings when there were multiple talented ranks of it as well, where the buff tooltip displayed the minimum buff (2%?) even when it was the fully talented version.
Olde story incoming.
This was addressed some four years ago or so, but remained unchanged due to the amount of stress it puts on the server to show the talented versions of the tooltips to everyone who hovers their mouse over that icon. At the early stages of World of Warcraft, you would even lose the improved stats when zoning in and out. Buffing after you enter the instance is a remnant of this oddity.
They fixed the zoning issue, if I remember correctly, but chose to keep the faulty tooltips simply because changing it to update according to talents would cause a lot of unneeded data transfer, or something like that.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
What Maz said. It's basically a hardware issue that's not really a high priority. If you want to test it, strip to your skivies and cast imp MotW. The stat buff will be accurate for the improved version, even if the buff icon is wrong.
I tested it last night, and the tooltip info is correct (buff info is not correct), verifying what those in the know here have said. Thanks!

I feel like you should be sitting on a tree stump.
Or maybe outside a cave.
With a beard.

You're mistaking Mazra for Quor. Quor's the resident grumpy old druid sitting on the stump.

True.
Maybe Mazra is the weird cheerful old guy who runs around still really energetic and slightly crazy?
