RaceNight ElfBear at 10 gets this Druid out of the early caster routine. Cat follows at 20, with the poison-cleansing chain available from 14. We'll cross Teldrassil, Darkshore, and western Ashenvale, then continue through Redridge, Duskwood, and the Wetlands to 30. Aquatic Form is optional. Weapon DPS, healing gear, and reagents matter along the way, so they're listed before you need them.
What to install from CurseForge for Forever: the useful and the fun
Small things about your route, mobs, mana, and speed that add up to hours over a whole leveling run
Main route: Teldrassil → short Darkshore trip for Bear at 10 → finish the island → Darkshore and poison cleansing → western Ashenvale and Mathystra → Cat at 20 → direct Stormwind boat → Redridge, Duskwood and Wetlands through 30. The Aquatic chain and group chapters are independent and can be skipped entirely.
Collect quest items only after accepting their quest. Save 5 
Earthroot ahead of time for poison cleansing: an ordinary Herbalism material you can buy from players. Before a loop, bring water, clear bag space and keep mana for healing out of form.
Builds for 10-30: which one to pick and in what order to spend points
Your first point arrives at 10. I'd aim for Feral Combat: Cat, using Bear until Cat is ready. The tooltips and calculator show the order. Beta data lists a reset at 1 if you haven't respecced for a while, which made a Bear-to-Cat reset at 20 cheap. Launch respecs start at 1 gold. If you're planning to change builds at 20, save at least 1 gold before 20 instead of counting on the beta price.
Ferocity cuts the cost of 
Maul and 
Claw. At 15-17, 
Furor 3/5: since November 2 it sits in Feral instead of 
Heart of the Wild. Shift out of Cat to heal, and you come back with part of your energy. 
Feral Swiftness at 18-19 first gives Bear +4% dodge, then lets Cat run 30% faster from 20, including indoors in Forever. 
Blood Frenzy at 25-26 adds combo points on crits. 
Leader of the Pack at 30 gives the group +3% crit while you're in form.
Lacerate, though, so dungeon tanking is less comfortable than with the dedicated Bear build.Claw. An old weapon with good stats can still be holding your damage back.Leader of the Pack at 30. In Classic, its crit bonus also applied to the Druid. If Forever doesn't give you that benefit, take Furor 4/5 at 30 instead.
Ferocity 5/5
Furor 3/5
Feral Swiftness 2/2
Sharpened Claws 2/2
Savage Fury 2/2
Feral Charge 1/1
Blood Frenzy 2/2
Predatory Strikes 3/3
Leader of the Pack 1/1Furor 5/5 by 19, then take Lacerate at 25. You can still follow the same quest route.Furor 5/5: Bear starts with 10 rage on shifting (since November 2 the talent sits in Feral instead of Heart of the Wild). 
Feral Charge at 20 adds a charge that interrupts. At 25, take Lacerate: since November 2 it's a talent replacing 
Primal Bite, a bleed that stacks up to 5 times and generates a lot of threat. When you quest in Cat, 
Sharpened Claws, 
Savage Fury, and Blood Frenzy still help.Feral Swiftness - your cat runs slower, and until 25 it hits weaker than in the main build.
Feral Instinct 3/3 into 28-30 instead of 
Thick Hide. That improves 
Swipe by 30%.Ferocity 5/5Furor 5/5Feral Charge 1/1Savage Fury 2/2Sharpened Claws 2/2
Lacerate 1/1Blood Frenzy 2/2
Thick Hide 3/3Furor (in Feral since November 2) is a talent, separate from the spell 
Wrath. It lets you return to Cat with the energy you had before shifting out to heal, and gives Bear 10 starting rage. At 22-26, Heart of the Wild 5/5: it moved to Restoration on November 2 and gives more Intellect, plus Strength in Cat. 
Natural Shapeshifter at 27-29 makes forms 30% cheaper.Ferocity 5/5Furor 5/5Feral Swiftness 2/2
Heart of the Wild 5/5
Natural Shapeshifter 3/3
Naturalist 1/5Wrath and roots that tolerate more damage. Beta feedback puts this behind Feral for solo leveling. Healing a group gives it another use between quests.Improved Wrath cuts Wrath to 1.5 seconds and half the cost. 
Improved Entangling Roots adds 75% root damage and helps the roots hold through 2-3 casts of Wrath. 
Nature's Reach stretches the range to 36 yards.Wrath still hit noticeably below Classic even after the buff. Mana runs out quickly too. Before 30, 
Insect Swarm at 25 is the new Balance button you'll get.
Nature's Majesty 2/2 (+4% crit) instead of Nature's Reach.
Improved Wrath 5/5

Wrath; add Moonfire from 4. Finish with your staff when you need to save mana for healing. Maintain Mark of the Wild and, from 6, Thorns.Entangling Roots works indoors from 8.

Further training: Eladriel in Darnassus and Malorne Bladeleaf in Dolanaar. Buy Skinning Knife before hunting beasts: Narret Shadowgrove in Dolanaar.Earthroot from another player.

Don't try to walk past a patrol with the racial active.Nature's Grasp and Omen of Clarity are trained abilities rather than required talents from the old tree.Revive gives out-of-combat resurrection from 12. Check current tooltips for consumables and potions in forms; old form-cancel macros may waste mana.
