Seriously, either make it a one button press like so many other abilities we have that auto shifts us to Bear Form and start healing. Not requiring a macro to use and take 2 GCDs. Literally no other defensives require a macro and 2 GCDs to be used and literally as Balance or Resto to stop dps and healing.
Or
Scrap it from Resto/Balance and just give us another charge of Renewal.
Atleast Renewal works instantly when pressed. I’d seriously gladly take another charge of Renewal over how Frenzied Regeneration is currently.

2 charges of Renewal would be great in the meantime while we wait for a passive spec defensive or actual damage reduction nodes in the class tree.
Balance spec baseline spell idea:
Astral Fortitude: damage taken reduced by 10%-15%. Passive (whatever value that feels balanced)
Or an active Balance spell idea:
Lunar Aegis: an absorb shield protecting the druid with lunar energy. (Could absorb 20%-50% of incoming damage depending on what feels balanced.)
Random ideas here.

Our survivability is literally rubbish and frenzied regeneration is honestly not helping us at all if anything it makes our issues worse.
It needs to be fixed or seriously gone from Resto/Balance, to stop dps and healing so you can attempt to self heal while everyone else dies cause hey, you have to be in bear form first isn’t acceptable.
2 charges of Renewal is a great start to help fix our issues.
BUT HEY, THANK GOD I TALENTED INTO IRONFUR, HELPS SO MUCH.

Or the fact that Balance Druid off-healing is so pitifully bad now. Shifting into Bear Form and sitting in GCDs is bad enough as it is. But so is sitting in a Regrowth cast time where you need to spam the spell 8 times to even move a health bar up in any significant manner.
Though this might lean into other topic territory, I’d love to see Druid off-healing buffed up more. I miss helping allies. That was the point of picking the hybrid class.

It mind boggles me, that this is how we will be till next patch, like this isn’t a tuning issue, although Regrowth can be tuned, but Frenzied Regeneration seriously needs to go.
It has no place is modern wow, the game is fast paced and reacting is key to living or dying. our solutions aren’t enough.
It doesn’t help that our class tree is absolutely horrendous that we essentially can’t talent into more survivability without sacrificing so much due to pointless talents of our specs blocking progression.
It’s just frustrating, I needed to vent.

It actually costs us 3 GCD. 1.Bear Form 2. Frenzied Regen. 3. Back to Moonkin Form

Everything said here is spot on, and the suggestions are great.
Something should be done about the amount of GCDs we take… I’d say, in general: To ramp-up or spread damage, to heal ourselves, etc.
Something is definitely bugged, or severely undertuned at least, with Frenzied Regen though.
We need better options, and I’m all for more passive durability as a priority for a future rework.

Fluid Form helps, but don’t get me started on having to use a talent point essentially to make a class work well… I’ll be here forever.
Seriously though 3 options for Frenzied Regeneration.
-
Auto Shifts and casts it’s in one GCD.
-
Make it usable regardless of Form this helps Balance and Resto greatly and Wildstalker Feral Druids.
-
Scrap it for another Renewal Charge, a solid and reliable self Heal.
Honestly Frenzied Regeneration if auto shifts and we had a decent class tree that allowed us to get Verdant Heart wouldn’t be so bad, but honestly it’s next to impossible picking it up due to our all too amazing class tree.
Like as Balance and Resto (going more caster focused) I’m so glad I have to use 4 talent points that are mandatory in Ironfur, Instincts of the Claw and Soothe/Cyclone. 2 talents I’ll never use and one is a niche use depending on Dungeon that I’m forced to pick regardless.
So true especially in solo shuffle. By the time I hit bear and frenzied regen im almost dead anyway PLUS the fact that the healing can barely outheal dots in arena after 5% damp

Kite for your life 
CC and blast 'em.
Don’t even bother with healing except using FR to buff Renewal tbh
