I'm not really familiar with the actual state of druid tanking these days but I've heard some complains in the past. Whether these are just wild allegations or real concerns, they will be pleased to find out that they have been buffed.
The kind of surprising thing to this buff is that it isn't something announced to be included in the next patch. It was actually hotfixed into the game and hence is now actually live. As Ghostcrawler announced, the druid AoE tanking ability Swipe has been buffed to generate 50% more threat than before. In these days when it seems like the use of AoE is the way to go (in my experience, tanks usually prefer to use little or no crowd control and just burning them down with AoE), this should make bear druids more competent in dealing with the situation.
I found it funny that Ghostcrawler mentioned that this change might lead to bear tanks being able to tank so easily with one ability that they can macro Swipe to every keyboard button and faceroll. Of course that's always an exaggeration and I doubt that any kind of facerolling whether it be with chain heal, flash of light or the like would actually really work. But as I said, this would make bear tanking easier and they should be quite happy right now.
