Best Restoration Druid PvP Talents

This new talent system is dramatically different from our original Cataclysm talents. Now players are given way less options in terms of talent selection, and can even change their talents in the starting gate using Tome of the Clear Mind.
Here we have your default talents for Restoration Druid. Let’s break down why these talents are so promising in MoP, and any alternatives you can select depending on the composition played or up against.
Hard-Locked Talents:
Displacer Beast to either blink offensively for CC or defensively in order to kite.
Cenarion Ward as one of your primary healing spells, which can be used while silenced and doesn’t break any shapeshift form.
Soul of the Forest is iconic to MoP Restoration Druid to guarantee quick cyclone casts.
Heart of the Wild for massive damage and healing in a 45 second window.
Soft-Locked Talents & Alternatives:
Typhoon is your primary accessory CC talent, helping you abuse limited mobility of melee and can be used as a pseudo interrupt.
Alternative: Mass Entanglement is a good alternative against melee cleaves, as long as you aren’t playing with a Mage.
Disorienting Roar acts as a great CC starter for cyclone, and does not DR with Polymorph, Freezing Trap, or Sap.
Alternative: Mighty Bash becomes a promising pick if you play with DoT classes, as Disorienting Roar can break easily, or with a Hunter or Fire Mage, as Disorienting Roar does DR with Scatter Shot and Dragon’s Breath.
