The simulation takes all dps talents + the new Primal Gore talent and Improved Mark (you can do that).
I'm using best in slot item.
Averaged out variable: Berserk on weapon, Noble Deck (agility), Grim Troll (Armor Penetration)
I'm using RIP idol and 2T7 (head and shoulders), actually 4T7 is a dps loss with best in slot items.
I'm also using all possible raid buff + flask + food.

Priority List
There isn't a real rotation, it's more a priority list.
1) If ooc proc use shred or rake if rake is down
1) Keep SR up (with 1+ cp)
2) Keep RIP up with 5 CP
3) Use FB if the condition are good: I've made some theorycraft about it. Basically the program compute on the fly the average waiting time to generate 2 cp to refresh SR and then 5 CP to refresh RIP (or the other way around), then it compute the DPS difference between FB and RIP and the acceptable RIP downtime to find the right SR timer and RIP timer value condition to use FB. The value that you will found in the sim report are based on normal condition (no heroism, no berserk) the value used in the sim (and that I will use in the addon) will adjust themself on the fly.
4) Keep mangle up
5) keep rake up
6) Use shred to generate CP with energy micromanage to avoid rake/mangle downtime (basically use it if you will have enough energy to refresh rake/mangle when they expire or simply use shred if you have 3+ cp)
7) If you are going to lose SR before you can reapply it -> use your CP to refresh SR (yes SR clipping is good)
8) If you have 5 cp and you are going to waste energy waiting rip to expire (you have more than 95 energy) -> try to reapply rip, otherwise wait for rip to expire.
I also found a series of condition about berserk usage and tiger fury usage with the other abilities, for more specific insight you can read the code.
In the following report I've assumed 100% mangle debuff uptime (manglebot) and 100% bleed effect (if you have a manglebot it's likely that there is a bleed on the target).

Discussion
The best in slot trinkets are grim toll and the agility darkmoon card.
Shred idol is better than RIP idol, with the same setup you will do 7179.22 DPS (+3 DPS) but not by a large margin. Shred idol scales better with ArPen while other stats scales about the same way (that's why I've putted 2 row for armor pen).
It's important to notice that all stats scales about lineary in relative value. All but Armor Pen, the more you have, the better it is.
There are 2 boundary lines about ArPen:
At about 400 ArPen with RIP idol and 200 ArPen with Shred idol, ArPen becames a better stats than agility.
For a similar reason at about 240 ArPen Shred idol becames better than RIP idol.
In the following table you can find set-bonus value (the gear is the same, I've changed only set bonuses):
| Set Bonus | Idol | DPS | Difference |
| 2T7 | RIP | 7176 | - |
| 4T7 | RIP | 7228 | 52 |
| 2T7*+2T8 | RIP | 7293 | 117 |
| 4T8** | RIP | 7197 | 21 |
| 4T8** | Shred | 7219 | 43 |
* I've assumed 2% proc chance.
**with 4T8 (2T8 & 4T8 bonuses) the best wait time for SR is 1 CP instead of 2 CPs.
About Glyph choce
Abviously if you have a mangle bot the best glyph choce is: SR+RIP+SHRED but what about mangle?
| Glyphs | DPS |
| SR+RIP+SHRED | 6890 |
| SR+MANGLE+SHRED | 6799 |
| SR+RIP+MANGLE | 6695 |
So SR+RIP+SHRED combo is the best choce ALSO if you don't have someone who keeps mangle up for you.
You can found dps value of all stats and item rankin here:
Armor - Items - World of Warcraft
If you click on a number in the "score" collumn you will se an integer value, that value is exactly the dps value of that piece of gear (for istance "Chestguard of the Recluse" = 441 DPS).
FAQ
What is the standard cycle? There isn't. Since 3.0 druids have a priority list.
What is a priority list? Basically depending uppon dots counter and other ability for each istant you have a "better ability" to use.
Is always better to RIP at 5 cp, also if I have 4 CPs already Yes.
Is always better to Ferocious Bite at 5 cp, also if I have 4 CPs already and RIP and/or Savage Roar are going to expire? Yes, or you have the time to FB at 5 CP or simply refresh SR (at 5 CPs) or wait RIP to expire.
Best Glyphs: Savage Roar, Shred, RIP, in every PvE situation.
Best Trinkets: In importance order, Darkmoon Card: Greatness (Agi), Darkmoon Card: Greatness (Str), Grim Toll, Fury of the Five Flights, Extract of Necromantic Power, Mirror of Truth, Meteorite Whetstone, Loatheb's Shadow, Incisor Fragment (don't look at the equipment link for trinkets)
Best metagem: 21 agi +3% crit damage.
Tier bonus: Use 2T7 (helm, shoulders), then use 2T7 (gloves, legs) +2T8 (helm, shoulders), then use 4T8 (helm, shoulders, gloves, elms).
Idols: As said before the best idol when you gather enough Armor Penetration (or with 4T8) is the shred idol.
How many CPs I should use for SR?: Basically you should have SR always up, so if you have 1 CP and SR expire, use SR with 1 CPs. The number of CPs is important for the wait time of Ferocious Bite, you want to end with usually 2-3 CPs at least when SR expire.
When I should use FB? You want to keep SR up, you want to keep RIP up, then you want to SR. Basically it depends on raid buffs and expecially hit/expertise/crit. For a good geared Feral druid you want about 4-5 sec of SR time, 7-8 sec of RIP time and about 12 second of SR+RIP time. The simulation compute it on the fly and when the addon will be ready it will do it for you.
