3 - Dual-Spec support
Judging by the fact that the "fake" functionality is broken (see bug ID #2), and there has been a desire to select which forms and variations to display - I have a desire that would make this more realistic.
Currently, Druid stats runs off your current talent spec/form, but with WoW's dual-spec feature, many players have a main and off-spec that are completely different (ie: I am a main-spec Resto Druid, but I also have a Feral DPS set to fit into whatever raid composition we have). When I am in Feral spec, I can't pop into tree form to see if the gear is an upgrade. I would need to change specs, shapeshift, and then start comparing. My raid leader doesn't want to wait that long normally.
Knowing what the talents are (you can still access them when not active), why not show two sets of stats. Just for your two current talent specs with their main form (ie: feral with cat talents = cat form, tree of life for a heavy resto build).
Hopefully this will be a happy medium between faking, choosing forms for specs, and how the addon currently shows just one set of stats depending on your form.

the faking bug is just a matter of me looking into it, but I won't say no if you fix it ;)

I've written in Lua before, but I've never played around with WoW scripting in particular. Still I'll check out the source I have (is there a place to get the most up-to-date? Or a repository - even better?) and see if I can't at least help sort out the bug with faking.
