Boomkins have a fairly generous thread gap in relation to the tanks.
A warrior, druid, or death knight generates 2.0735 threat per point of damage (not including ability modifiers).
A paladin generates 2.574 threat per point of holy damage and 1.43 threat per point of physical damage (I admitedly don't know the ratio of holy damage to non-holy damage a typical prot pally deals as I don't play one myself).
Being a ranged dps you work off the 130% threat rule and nature's reach grants an additional 15/30% threat reduction
Warrior/druid/DK tank
0/2 nature's reach (2.0735 * 1.3) = 269.555% of the tank's dps
1/2 nature's reach (2.0735 * 1.3 * 1.15) = 309.98825% of the tank's dps
2/2 nature's reach (2.0735 * 1.3 * 1.3) = 350.4215% of the tank's dps
This doesn't include these class' abilities with threat modifiers which will allow for even more of a gap in your favor.
Paladin tank
0/2 nature's reach (2.574 * 1.3) = 334.62% of the tank's holy dps
1/2 nature's reach )2.574 * 1.3 * 1.15) = 384.813% of the tank's holy dps
2/2 nature's reach (2.574 * 1.3 * 1.3) = 435.006% of the tank's holy dps
Their non-holy damage grants much less threat so this will reduce the gap against your favor.
As you can see though, even a single point in nature's reach can have a profound impact and it's worth filling out.
Pull 1 point from imp IS, intensity, or typhoon to top off nature's reach and be sure you're not jumping the gun before the tank even generates some threat.
