PvP Fury Druid Questions

Ahoy there, I've just about got all the gear I need for my PvP fury druid, but I've got some questions on skill set up/etc

With complete gear, I'll have something like...17+ to ShapeShift skills and 4/5+ all skills.
Obviously I'll be maxing lycanthropy, werewolf, and fury...but where to put the remaining points? In most PvP games, they'll go after your Oak Sage or HoW first, so would it be smarter to max HoW/Oak Sage, or put some points into grizzly or something...

This is the gear setup I'll be using:
Ethereal Zod'd Jalals
Chains of Honor
Um'd StormShield
Verdungos or Strings ( or deaths if I can't get CBF from anything else )
Gloves? Maybe soul drainers or something...
Gorefoot
8-10xShape Grandcharms
ethereal botd WS or Berserker

Defence seems to be an issue as well, I see only about 2-3k defence with this gear set up...

This'll be my first serious PvP druid, so I'm not exactly sure if this equipment set-up is ideal....
thanks.

I prefer Duress/Stone if your NL over CoH since you'll be pretty much dueling melees only. Druids have natural low def though.

So which one? I personally think duress over stone, for the CD and possible 20%ed....there's always lionheart as well, but that would be incredibly low defence. Also, eliminating CoH would cut my resisits down considerably...
Perhaps I could switch between CoH and duress accordingly..

Dont bother with defense on wolves, even if u can get it to 4-5k (not really possible for a wolf to have more) it will mean nothing against most melee chars having in excess of 20k AR. Instead concentrate on Life,Damage and AR. Definitely replace the eth jalal with a best cerebus bite u can find (+4 skills >100% AR), Draculs for gloves (open wounds/Str and lifetap can save your ass sometimes). Definitely go for Duress, or if youre on ladder- fortitude. Weapon seems fine but using warspike is pointless, BA does more damage has more range and hits 5 fpa, warspike will not hit faster than this. U might wanna try a 3xed/ias 1 Lo griswolds caddy if u can afford the jewels, hits 4 fpa, albeit much lower damage than botd, if youre on ladder use grief PB, switch to botd BA dueling barbs.

Okay - you have a decent anti caster setup, but you are dead in melee vs. melee.

Alright, thanks for the info.

Jewerly setup?

If you lacking resist, you could use Maras and Rspiral, then use RFrost for CBF, then use Verdungos.
