not true, what does a resto do when they get a melee class on them? they shift form and run away so they dont get torn up, good hunters will use that opportunity to fear them.

A major part of playing resto arena is also shifting at the right time, either into bear form to stun, immobilize or to get away from a certain person so you can stay alive longer

Yeah, but think of it this way:
1) Druids are not viable in 5on5, so we'll be as shit as ever.
2) What's the best partner for a Hunter is 2on2? That's right, a Druid (yes, I know that Priest is also viable, but Druid is way better). Hunter Druid teams will become more common, but all other Druid teams will be as represented as ever, yet Hunters are the single least represented class in 2on2.
3) 3on3 is dominated by RMP (around 27% of all 2.2k rated teams worldwide are RMP). However, this is going into a decline as melee is getting stronger with each season, Warrior + Resto Shaman + Retardin, or Warrior + Rogue + Druid, etc. Hunter is a clothkiller, which double melee can do equally well. There still is no place for Hunters in 3on3, even with the Scare Beast change, I suspect that their population will continue to decline in every bracket, excpet for maybe 2on2.

Ferals of course got an unwarranted across the board nerf.
