As of 7.0.3 after Legion launch, You still cannot use Flap with [spell=114301] even though you have [spell=24858] on.

Hopefully they'll make do somehow, because it's quite useful afterall.
Our prayers come true!
Effect #1 Apply Aura: Slow Fall
Effect #2 Apply Aura: Levitate / Hover (OMG YAS)

Why do we need a warning for something that's common sense??? Well, it isn't common sense due to the fact that when you mouse over Moonkin Form and you have Glyph of Stars it clearly says "Your moonkin form now appears as astral form, conferring all the same benefits, but appearing as a astrally enhanced version of your normal humanoid form." Yeah, it says all the same benefits. Flap is a benefit so logically speaking it should still work with Glyph of Stars. Where did your "common sense" come from kurfew007? Am I missing something?

This is great when Glider and Displacer Beast are on CD. It only works if you are in Moonkin form, but if you shift out of moonkin into caster form it still will have the effect but I think that's a bug. I usually break it by shifting into prowl since I've yet to make a more elegant way to do it.

Unfortunately, Moonkin Form (or any form for that matter) activates the GCD, so it halts the macro. Anything after it will not trigger. Your best bet will be to try to get in the habit of always being in Moonkin Form... not ideal, but the best option for now.

I was wondering why this was available outside of Balance spec/affinity.
Now I remember why. It's from a tome.
Why not just have it be baseline and come with the affinity/spec? It's just kind of baffling to have an ability I can never use.

Outdated, as the commend beneath says: By RageZero (8,966 – 1·11·106) on 2017/01/12 (Patch 7.1.5) Since patch 7.1.5., this now also works in Astral form! You will hover instead of flapping, but the effect stays the same :)

Eqweex+1via Wowhead (opens the original comment in a new tab)

Here's a fun little detail I noticed while playing around with a macro for this ability.

You can activate Flap and then shift out of Moonkin Form and still keep the buff! Your character will be swimming in the air just above the ground, which looks pretty hilarious. The effect is still the same, so you'll fall (swim) slowly through the air just like with normal use of this ability.

Keep in mind that you won't be able to renew the duration after it runs out unless you shift back to Moonkin Form, though.

Guerisso+0via Wowhead (opens the original comment in a new tab)

I would remove the Flap from the first line. @Nithu to make this work, you have to press this button twice because Moonkin form triggers the global cooldown. Alternatively just smash the key/klick the button repeatedly until you are flapping.
