Stat Priority
Stat Breakdown
Skill Capped recommends the following stat priority for Balance Druid PvP:
Versatility is your most important stat for PvP. It provides both increased damage and reduced damage taken, essential for survivability as a caster.
Haste reduces your cast times and global cooldown, allowing you to pump out more damage and land Cyclones faster.
Mastery: Astral Invocation increases your Nature and Arcane damage on targets affected by Moonfire and Sunfire, double dipping with Astral spells. This is why it's important to keep up DoTs.
Critical Strike is your lowest priority as it doesn't synergize as well with Balance Druid's toolkit.

Primary Setup
Double Elemental Focusing Lens provides a mix of consistent throughput and burst damage. In order to work, it requires at least 1 gem equipped and deals damage based on gem type. Typically you will want to put this on your crafted Neck or Rings as these will typically be the first crafted pieces you can obtain in the early season. Later on in the season, you can choose to use other Embellishments, especially Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension.
