Outfitter Manages Gear

If blizzard's built in Equipment Manager is driving you nuts, you might want to consider Outfitter (updated to Patch 3.2--we are at Patch 3.2.2 now).
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/outfitter.aspx

Outfitter was used by a great many folks until Blizzard decided to create Equipment Manager.  Outfitter's creator pulled it, then decided to keep it going.

There are also other alternatives to Outfitter and Blizzard's Equipment Manager.

Apparently you must disable Equipment Manger to use Outfitter.  Do research on this before following the instructions, however.  This is old information!

FERAL DRUID GEAR LISTS (Cat and Bear)

Here's the front door for four feral druid gear lists.  You can look at cat DPS, cat "high gear" DPS, bear mitigation, or bear "high gear" mitigation lists.  Each list is broken down into sections such as head, neck, shoulders, etc.  This looks as if it is going to be very useful,  but carefully read the information posted on the front door to know exactly what is going on.  Note:  This is up-to-date as of Patch 3.1.3 except for a few Ulduar hard modes items.  We are currently at Patch 3.2.2

Battlegrounds for Beginners

WOW Insider has published a guide for Battlegrounds novices.  The first section is a general guide and tells you how to enter the Battlegrounds.
http://www.wow.com/2009/10/29/the-art-of-war-craft-absolute-beginners-guide-to-the-battlegr/

Warsong Gulch is the first battleground area examined.
http://www.wow.com/2009/11/07/the-art-of-war-craft-absolute-beginners-guide-to-warsong-gulc/

Arathi Basin is the next entry.
http://www.wow.com/2009/11/14/the-art-of-war-craft-absolute-beginners-guide-to-arathi-basin/

Alterac Valley is next.
http://www.wow.com/2009/11/21/the-art-of-war-craft-absolute-beginners-guide-to-alterac-vall/

By the way, the Solo MMO Player says Blizzard has a lot of Battleground information on their website.  There isn't much in the way of strategy, though.  Of course most players run around like maniacs anyway, so strategies are probably a waste of time.  Note the cross-instance realm.
