Moonkin Spell Rotations (Patch 3.3)

Graylo goes over the spell priorities for moonkin druids at the link below.  I see he says spell rotations are an outdated name for what are actually spell rotations, which reminded me that The Solo MMO Player says the concepts of main and off tanks are outmoded.  Perhaps we should be developing new ways of thinking about raids and how we play?  The game has changed since Vanilla WOW, and we should change with it.

Using SimCraft for Moonkins UPDATED

Graylo of Gray Matter has written a long article about using SimCraft to model DPS and spell rotations in his moonkin.  Note that this system is used for most of the classes in WOW and that Graylo's tips are only good for those using Windows.  He does give links that will help you if you don't fall into those categories.
http://graymatterwow.blogspot.com/2009/10/moonkin-tools-simcraft.html

UPDATE: WOW Insider describes how to use SimCraft (or SimulationCraft) here.

New Addon for PvE Moonkins

WiseEclipse is a new addon that Maestro feels is essential for moonkin druids as it monitors the time left on your lunar eclipse buff and compares this to the cat time of your next Starfire.  He explains how everything works here and talks about why he thinks using WiseEclipse isn't cheating.
