Exactly. HOWEVER, the 300 armor + stats on the chest will mean that you can get a crappy green item with +defense and nothing else on it without further gimping your druid. 8.5k is the sweetspot for armor, and the new stuff will allow you to reach it easier. Try to get 375 defense and over 8k armor without such items in 1.7, IMO it will be impossible. 

Bah, getting over 8k armor is no problem with all green leather gear, when
you have:
- the hordes trinket of the Onyxia key quest chain
- a warden staff
- a ring of the great tortuise
- a cloak of warding

Getting to 9.5k will be no problem with some other key items:
- heart of the mountain trinket
- there's another ring with about 180 armor IIRC

I see your point, but I don't agree. Warriors got new items too, and they
are not worse than "our" gear. Warriors don't need green gear to get over
400 defense, we do. I need 2 greens for my personal minimum of 375 defense
before the patch, I'll need 3 or 4 after the patch. Warriors need 0
before and 0 after the patch. Druids screwed > Warriors screwed.

Now, if we could get a proper feral set...


And if only cows could fly :o)

I saw a Tauren on a Wyvern once, does it count? ;) 

I got kicked around by a boss in Gnomeregan (don't ask) yesterday,
but that was more jumping than flying :-(
