Balance is the Ranged DPS specialization of the Druid in WoW: Forever. This page summarizes its talent tree as it appears in the beta client (build 1.60.1.69913); the role is the one stated by the Icy Veins guide for the specialization.
The class's three trees, with the talents the Icy Veins guide recommends at level 20 in colour and all the others in grey. The small number on the left of each row is the points you must have spent in the tree to reach it. Point counts are shown when the guide states them; otherwise only the talents are named. This section is fixed: it does not move and does not depend on the calculator.
Icy Veins calls the final point extremely flexible.
Icy Veins: reduces cast time and cost.
Icy Veins: reduces spell misses and increases range.
Icy Veins: reduces time spent not casting.
Optional: better resistance to cast pushback
In order of importance, according to Icy Veins.
Icy Veins: mostly equip your highest-level pieces. Order applies to the beta only.
What the Icy Veins guide lists for this specialization.
No source publishes a best-in-slot list or enchants for this specialization yet: the Icy Veins Forever guides only cover level 20 for now and do not detail them. The dungeon items below are ranked by rule from the stat priority and are not a best-in-slot list. This section will be filled when a source publishes them, with nothing invented on our side.

These are the deepest talents in the tree: they require 30 points already spent in the specialization. Official game text, at maximum rank.
Transforms the Druid into Moonkin Form. While in this form, the armor contribution from items is increased by 360%, Omen of Clarity gains 100% increased chance to trigger, and all party members within 45 yards have their critical strike chance increased by 3%, exclusive with Leader of the Pack. The Moonkin cannot cast healing spells while shapeshifted. The act of shapeshifting frees the caster of Polymorph and Movement Impairing effects.
Talents you take only once, with their tier (official text at maximum rank).
Increases the duration of your Moonfire and Rejuvenation spells by 3 sec, your Regrowth spell by 6 sec, and your Insect Swarm spell by 2 sec.
The enemy target is swarmed by insects, decreasing their chance to hit with attacks by 2% and causing 48 Nature damage over 12 sec.
All non-periodic spell criticals grace you with a blessing of nature, increasing your spellcasting speed and reducing your global cooldown by 10% for 3 sec.
Each line is a tier of the tree; in brackets, the talent's maximum rank.
