Buffs
Aspect of the Cheetah	Increases your movement speed by 30% — generally not advised during combat because of the negative dazing effect

Aspect of the Hawk	Increases your ranged Attack Power by 2700 (and by an additional 30% if One with Nature is talented)
Aspect of the Pack	Increases the movement speed of nearby raid members by 30% — useful for speeding up your raid after a wipe, but generally not advised during combat because of the negative dazing effect
Aspect of the Wild	Increases the Nature Resistance of your fellow raid members — does not stack with Healing Stream Totem (combined with Glyph of Healing Stream Totem) and Elemental Resistance Totem
Ferocious Inspiration	Increases raid damage by 3% — does not stack with Arcane Tactics and Communion

Utility
Concussive Shot	Slows the target by 50% for 6 seconds. Does not work on raid bosses. Has a 5 second cooldown, no focus cost and it is instant cast.
Distracting Shot	Forces the target to attack you for 6 seconds. Has an 8 second cooldown, no focus cost and is an instant cast. This ability does not affect the threat table of the mob, and after its effect wears off, the mob will return to its normal top-aggro target.
Misdirection	This ability is cast on a raid member, and applies a buff to yourself that lasts for 20 seconds. Any attacks made during this time will replace this buff with another, 4 second long buff during which all threat generated by you will be redirected to the raid member who you cast Misdirection on. After 30 seconds, the threat redirection fades. It has a 30 second cooldown, no focus cost and it is instant cast.
Tranquilizing Shot	Removes one enrage effect and one magic effect from an enemy target. Has no cooldown, costs 20 focus and is instant cast.
Trap Launcher	Allows you to place any of your traps at a ranged location of your choice, up to 40 yards away.
Survival
Deterrence	This ability grants you full immunity from melee and ranged attacks as well as spells cast at you for its duration. It does not work to mitigate damage from DoTs and some AoE spells are also not prevented by it. While active, you are unable to perform any attacks. It has a two minute (1 minute and 50 seconds with Glyph of Deterrence) cooldown, no focus cost and it is instant cast.
Disengage	This ability causes you to leap backwards through the air, ideally away from danger. It is a very useful movement tool. You can use it to travel in any direction simply by turning your character in the opposite direction of the one you wish to travel in. It has a 25 second (20 second with Glyph of Disengage) cooldown, no focus cost and it is instant cast.
Feign Death	This ability will reset your threat on all mobs that you are currently in combat with. If no one else is present on the mob's aggro table, then the mob will despawn. It has a low chance of being resisted and thus failing. It has a 30 second (25 with Glyph of Feign Death) cooldown, has no focus cost and is an instant cast.
