Moonkin are becoming a lot more popular nowadays but when i read about pvp tips they are almost always feral related. Not that i'm against giving ferals tips but I just wanted to start a thread for my moonkin brothers and sisters to learn and spread the knowledge.
I'll just put a few general strategies that i use to start the ball rolling:
vs any caster: Stay in caster form because you will most likely need to heal. Keep rejuv and 3 lifeblooms up if possible. Keep in mind that the warlocks' felhunter and mages can steal you HoT's and shamans can purge them. Put moonfire and insect swarm on them and then cast wrath if they stop moving otherwise try to LoS them and refresh moonfire/IS when it is out. Treants work ok vs most clothies because of their damage but any good player will know how to get rid of them :(
vs any melee: Stay in moonkin if you are in danger of being hit, use instants to cause damage. Once you get in melee range control the player using NG, roots and cyclone. If you get a cyclone off, ALWAYS use that oppurtunity to get a heal off. Then switch to moonkin again for the pew pew. don't forget to Fairy fire rogues and druids. Also treants pwn rogues almost every time for me.
in a group: keep your distance and nuke using wrath or starfire if you feel reasonably safe. Heal your teammates, escpecially if they are doing some damage because they keep the flack from coming your way. If you get some agro then switch to travel form and run. Stealth your way back and continue from the first step.
These are fairly general but I usually start with this kind of strategy and then play it by ear.
