We are compensating Ferals for this armor loss by 9 Dragons Gold improving the Survival of the Fittest talent. Additionally, its current effects (stats and crit prevention); it will also increase armor contribution from cloth and leather items by 22/33/66%. That should be very close to your current armor bonus. This makes Survival of the Fittest rather over-budget by talent standards, but we figured it was one talent we can be pretty certain most tank-oriented druids will have (and to be honest nearly all Ferals).
