Caps & Requirements

Best Races
The only Horde option. Endurance (+5% base health) helps Bear tanking and general survival, and War Stomp is a genuine AoE-stun utility.
The only Alliance option. Quickness (+2% dodge) helps Bear tanks, and Shadowmeld is a useful threat-drop / mechanic-dodge button.

The Restoration Druid list in short
This is the Best in Slot list for the Restoration Druid in WotLK 3.3.5a Phase 4: the strongest realistic gear from Icecrown Citadel 25, Ruby Sanctum and Trial of the Grand Crusader. It covers 16 equipment slots with the enchant, the gems and the close alternatives for every piece, in 2 builds (Celestial Focus and Deep Restoration).
In short: the Celestial Focus build uses the Archus, Greatstaff of Antonidas as the main weapon and the Idol of the Black Willow in the idol slot; its trinkets are Althor's Abacus and Glowing Twilight Scale; the head slot is Sanctified Lasherweave Helmet and the chest is Sanguine Silk Robes.
Stat priority: Intellect, then Haste, then Spell Power, then MP5. The caps and the best races for this spec are in the panels above the notes.
