A few questions for Lappe (Or other Balance druids)

[Boomboomkin]

Greetings Lappe,

I have a few questions regarding boomkin raiding, gear and such.

1) Do you prefer mastery or critical strike rating? (Assumed you are already hit capped and haste is a primary stat on gear)
-Reason for asking: My theorycraft says more mastery enables more base damage so therefor when you crit, you are calculating critical hits off a stronger base damage, but I may be mistaken...Enlighten me.
2) Have you experimented with different professions for squeezing DPS and if so, what have you found?
-Reason for asking: I have found that Enchanting/Herbalism would be a nice combination because of ring enchant and haste buff... but others' theorycraft says differently.
3) Do you find the talent Fungal Growth to be of any use? I noticed it was not in your raiding spec, but figured it would be nice on fights like Cho'Gall for small ads, as well as Maloriak, Nefarian and the like for similar reasons.
-Reason for asking: My thoughts on you would not use them is because hunters generally frost trap those ads and clicking mushrooms detracts from DPS but I was not sure.
4) When starting off from 0 Eclipse power, with either direction allowed (after dieing or switching specs, etc), do you prefer to go Lunar or Solar and why? I noticed Starsurge automatically goes to Solar energy when at 0 balance power.
5) For mana management during fights, do you innervate other druids on a circular style rotation for mana regen, or innervate yourself, or just rely on Euphoria and a Mana potion? Reason I ask is because I am not sure whether to glyph Innervate for raiding or not as a Balance spec.

Thanks in advance!
