As a raid leader I try to take of advantage of the best use of my abilities as a druid tank. I have a good cooperation and synergy with the other MT in our guild, a paladin. We try to make best use of our respective strengths as tanks. I am giving you my view of the world as a bear and raid leader.
There are some assumptions here:
1. The other tank isn't a druid
2. The other tank is MT capable
Gormok
Set your raid frame focus on the other tank. Begin as cat and start up a standard rotation to 5cp rip and then berserk. Keep dpsing the boss until you see the other tank have 2 stacks of the debuff. Quickly go bear, position yourself in front, get up a few lacerates and then taunt. Swap til dead.
Acidmaw and Dreadscale
Ideally you should be tanking Acidmaw if your raid strategy is to burn down Acidmaw. Tank as your raid is comfortable, and then switch back to cat and use berserk again on help burn Dreadscale down. This works best because when Acidmaw goes down, Dreadscale soft enrages so your added dps will help win the fight.
Icehowl
You can stay as cat as long as the other tank is alive on this one. Hopefully berserk is up in time for once he crashes into the wall. BE ALERT though and ready to take over if something goes wrong.
Lord Jaraxxus
Start off by blowing berserk in cat form on the boss and quickly get ready to pick up the mistress. Depending on how fast you can dps down the mistress, quick toss up a demo roar (if relevant) on Jaraxxus and back to cat for some quickie dps. Pick up the infernals and move them out of harms way and away from the legion fire. Growl, faerie fire and feral charge are your friends. Rinse and repeat. The key again is sneaking in cat dps whenever possible and using your mobility to tank the adds.
Faction champs
For me personally I've either zerged the healer with maim finishers or bear tank and kited the warrior/dk as much as possible (nature's grasp is your friend).
Twins.
Nothing special, you'll be bear form the whole time.
Anub
I've only MT'd this, and given how hard he can hit I'd say this favors a bear MT. I pretty much stayed away from the adds and let dps handle them. Key point. Save barkskin for when you are frozen if possible.
More details as I get more fights in there.
