FYI, no Druid ever forgets that they have this ability. If we are not using it on you, then either it's on cooldown, or we can't shift out of bear form while five 30-foot giants are beating on us. Please do not ever ask us on vent for this abiltiy. If we have not used it, either for some reason we can't, or we are saving it for someone more important.

A few points.
- To druids: Every DPSer should use this if it is needed. It doesn't matter if you have to shift out of cat form and lose a few precious seconds of DPS to res a healer, it is (sometimes) worth it in the end. Healers should only use it when they have the opportunity to stop healing for a few seconds. Tanks should never use it while being attacked.
- The glyph removes the reagent for this spell. I love it, even as a bear tank, because that means one more inventory spot.
- To non-druids: Multiple times I have seen this. As the only druid in the group, I still have people asking for a battle res. Unless you want your tank going from 100% to dead in two seconds or less, you'll have to do without the res. Bear tanks can only res when there are short periods of non-tanking (such as when Icehowl is stunned or Marrowgar is bladestorming)
- With the long cooldown (extended in Cataclysm), there is no reason to use this spell on a fight that is clearly a wipe (AKA both tanks are down or half of the DPS is dead).
- If you are going to use this, prioritize tanks and healers. If you have to choose between a tank and a healer, chances are it's going to wipe.
