Mostly this is, as expected, continuation of AA lines.
Not sure how useful a 3pct chance on twin heal is.

The really big AAs here are
1- Blessing of Ro. After years of explaining, begging and offering our first born we finally got a combined debuff. Quick casting, good duration and an AA. Will probably be our mainstay debuff, with the spell version being more situational (but the healing has the potential of being lifesaving as long as the tank is aware that there will be quite some aggro to overcome on incoming).
2- Spirit of the Bear. A one or two round rune, greatly increased dodge and 150 AC combined with a near instant cast. This has the potential to be a life saver for a tank when adds get out of control or damage spikes badly and we need time to recover from it. It will not make the tank invulnerable for 30 seconds, but it will make it very hard for the monster to kill him. Having a few druids in a raid casting this one after another has potential too (but the 10 minute recast means it can not be kept on the tank permanently).

Interesting but have to figure out how this will turn out in practice due to the hefty mana cost
3- Nature's Blessing. A garantueed crit for the next three heals, for the price of doubling mana cost. Three ranks is a must and the exact value of this AA depends on how high the crit rate already is (which should be high for those players who get this AA). Still having Spirit of the Bear on the tank and this AA plus White Wolf up will give us considerably healing power and the time to make use of it without causing the tank to go splat.
4- Nature's Fury. The counterpart of Blessing. The value, I think, of this AA is not so much in the increase of crit (though 40pct is nothing to sneeze at if it comes on top of the normal crit increases), but in the triggered 1700 damage added to all DD. What is unclear to me if that is personal DD only (which would amount to probably only 3400 damage) or to all group DD, which can really add up in raids when in a caster group.
5- Communion of the Cheetah. Nothing flashy but after about 10 years and 60 or so levels the Cheetah spell finally gets some use. This is going to help getting across zones really quickly, or get the group out of danger without needing to evacuate. Probably going to be on the easy to hit AA buttons once you get it.

Of course this time there are very few AAs that are silly of utterly useless so we can expect to get the majority of the class ones as quickly as possible. For the rest we can work on them a little more slowly (they are useful, sometimes even essential but not game changing as some of the class AAs are).
