This talent combined Subtlety will increase your dispel resistance to 90% while barkskin is active. Therefore it's in a druid's best interest to cast barkskin before using a crucial ability such as Innervate. Now that barkskin is off the GCD, the following macro is valid:

/cast barkskin
/cast innervate

Therefore you will have 12 full seconds of 90% dispel protection which should allow you to regain precious mana.

This makes Barkskin similar in some ways to a Priest's Pain Suppression.

What about aquatic form?

Comment by Abomb

so does this talent try to promote resto druids trying to heal out of tree form, and to run away in travel form?

Comment by 114933

I regular druid healer have 20~23% phisical damage reduction.

What represents those 160% bonus armor?

Comment by Frolik

"Grants 160% additional armor contribution from cloth and leather items while in Travel Form or while not shapeshifted"

is that a passive effect or just while barkskin is on?

Comment by Jaadis

Because of Improved tree of life talent (+ 200% armor for tree), tree-form still has 40% more armor than caster form with this talent.

Comment by dreadblood

this talent is also making it easier for druids to lvl as resto (which is hard)
