is it bugged? or is it genuinely intended to be double mail / higher than plate?

ctrl f on druid page here finds nothing for “armor” “moonkin” or “form”
this is caster form:
and moonkin form
what’s plate get? i don’t have a geared one
This is another one of those “Moonkin aren’t that tanky” things I hate lol.
Right now in an Arena at 444 Ilvl my dk has less than that

this complaint is reserved for people who play as or with enhance, outlaw, ww and warrior. almost nobody notices armor and truly nobody cares what bothers bm and sub players

Hmm. I feel like Marksmanship is a better candidate as Beast Mastery has a lot of bleeds and Subtlety deals a decent bit of Shadow damage.

My mongoose bites!!! 
Yeah my RSKs not hitting boomkins for 200k+ is a problem I would like addressed.
Aren’t boomie meant to have plate like armor levels? I’m kinda drunk but ya,

it’s intended- how else are they gonna live in m+ when a boulder drops from the cavern roof in nelths lair
It’s still a little absurd considering with what’s been shown, I can hit myself harder with my Obliterates than I can hit a moonkin. That’s nuts.
While this moonkin doesn’t respect my armor at all.

I think the extra armor is there to make up for not having straight shields and immunities like mage(block, alter, barrier) and more or less shadowpriest(disperse, shield). The constant damage reduction vs the burst-focused and intermittent damage reduction design. Boomy also doesn’t have magic mitigation whereas spriest and mage for example have defensives that count for both physical/magic essentially(not including walls like barkskin though priest can get fade reduc and mage has Mirror Image as well).
We can get more granular with how some defensiveness that can be used even while cc’d etc, but point is, you can’t look at a simple use-case of “being hit be an Obliterate harder as paladin vs boomy” and conclude boomy needs moonkin form nerfs. There’s a lot more to consider across the scope of ALL class designs/abilities and how the subtle rock/paper/scissor design is still there to some extent between specs.
didn’t
i asked if it was intentional
