Balance Druid Stat Priority
Versatility > Haste > Mastery > Critical Strike
You want to focus on getting as much Versatility as possible. Aim to get at least 30-35%. This will eventually happen through PvP gearing as most of your items will have Vers on them.
After this, we highly recommend getting as much haste as possible. Haste makes your DoTs tick faster, increases your cast speed of important CC such as Cyclone, and smooths out your rotation.
Once you have around 30% haste you will then want to focus on mastery as this increases the damage of your Starsurge adding to your burst potential.

Best Balance Druid Trinkets
Insignia of Alacrity / Gladiator’s Emblem
Gladiator’s Medallion
Your trinket options are fairly straight-forward. You are basically locked into playing with the Medallion, as it is mandatory in PvP. As for what to pair with Gladiator’s Medallion, your default pick is Insignia of Alacrity and will be used in almost every matchup. You can however play with Gladiator’s Emblem in situations where you could be the kill target, since it offers an additional defensive cooldown. It also increases your healing with Frenzied Regeneration, since it scales with your max HP.
