Mongoose for DPS is only really useful at very high gearing levels. It's not a bad idea if you are going to share a weapon between bear and cat forms.

From what i remember, those few threads gave some different answers. I remember one saying mongoose was always better than berserking, one that said berserkings the best, and one that said both were better than massacre. I don't remember the reasoning as to why each person said these things.
My answer though is to choose the cheapest one - including greater savagery. You won't hold onto that titansteel destroyer very long. Theres an easy upgrade at H VH.

Argent Tournament has an awesome staff for ferals. Afaik it's better then anything you can get in HCs and you can get it very fast if you start with the AT quests early (and you make money doing those quests instead of spending a lot on the Titansteel Destroyer).

Like the other guy said, you should get the staff from the argent tournament, instead. TS destroyer is not very good for ferals, because druids benefit much more from agility than strength.
In principle this is right but it's also a little off.
Druids benefit
slightly
more from agil then from str. The difference isn't really that big, the Titansteel Destroyer is still an awesome dps weapon.
It's just that it costs lots of money and the AT staff is quite easy to get and just as good. It's not so much that the AT staff is much better then the Titansteel Destroyer, it's just that the money could most probably be better placed in other things (like swift flight, rings or even a Darkmoon Card: Greatness). That's the main reason why I'd go with the AT staff. That greatness card is just too darn expensive ;)
For the very same reason I really wouldn't worry about which enchantment is "best". It is not your BiS weapon, you will change it eventually (pretty soon if you raid often). Going for an expensive enchantment is just a waste of money which could be better placed in the card.
Just take the cheapest enchantment, it will be more then good enough.

i'd choose mongoose. 120 agi on proc is great for kitty, and it doubles well for tanking. not to mention it's got a graphic thats 10x hawter than massacre or berserking. it's also the cheapest to make. usually costs me 250-300 gold. now... i've got an enchanter myself for the mats, but you can just as easily buy 64-70 greens, get someone to disenchant them, buy void crystals, get someone to shatter them, and voila. theres your enchant mats.
since you said that mongoose would give 120 AP, i assume she's going to start out dpsing. in which case, the hammer would be a better choice than trickery, IMO. for no other reason than the hit rating.
theres also the fact that the destroyer takes basically no effort to get. just gold, which, if you're already 80, is ridiculously easy to make. so she hits 80, starts out with a viable epic then works towards upgrades, via... whatever. good deal imo.

Well luckily I'm a miner as well so getting the mats wasn't a big deal, I had a few frozen orbs left over that I wasn't using so I decided to be generous and throw those in too, so I wasn't really losing out on anything in terms of cost. I think TS destroyer is pretty good myself, and even if/when does end up getting the staff from the tournament or VH it wasn't a bad investment at all IMO.
That's faulty logic. You
are
missing out on a lot if you use the Titansteel Destroyer. You can sell it at the AH and gain that gold so by using it you miss out on that possible gain, leaving you with a lot less gold then you could have.
It doesn't matter if you get the mats by yourself or not. You will waste gold.
Same goes for the enchants: Being an enchanter yourself doesn't make an enchantment cheaper. It just makes it easier to get.
If you put the expensive enchant on the weapon then you will miss out on the money you could have made by selling the mats at the AH.
Just sell your stuff at the AH (making tons of gold) and use the AT weapon with a cheap enchant until you have BiS or near-BiS gear ;)
