Okay, so my thoughts of this spell:

In Blizzard's site it says 20% damage, for those wondering what the number "0%" here means.
This is basically Boomkin's button which after ^&*! hits the fans and the damage goes up the roof.

What I could see this used is during Hero / Lust, since casting Wrath during that period of time is not as beneficial as Starfire; so you'd get yourself into Lunar eclipse, then pop this and burst the &*!@ out of the boss.

Optimal: First let your lunar eclipse get to 40% or so, hit this (resets lunar), burst 15 seconds with 20% extra damage, which after you get to start from scratch with Lunar and so get like... what, 30-40 second "burst" damage? Roughly the duration of Bloodlust.

Just my idea of it, please tell me what you think of it!

This is exactly what I am using it for and it's a good burst...

Comment by Alnair

This spell cannot and should not be used simultaneously with the talents Incarnation: Chosen of Elune or Nature's Vigil, however it can be used in conjunction with them...

Inc and NV are both 30 Second buffs on a 3 minute cooldown, and Celestial Alignment is a 15 second buff on a 3 minute cooldown. In an optimal burst rotation you enter Incarnation at the moment you enter an eclipse state, cast spells for 15 seconds and then cast Celestial Alignment for the remaining 15 seconds of the Incarnation buff. In effect this extends the duration of time spent in an eclipse over the 30 second duration of Incarnation, allowing you to take greater advantage of Incarnation's damage Bonus.

Also Celestial Alignment (because it counts as entering Lunar Eclipse) resets the cooldown on Starfall. So for example a single target burst rotation would be something like:

. (75 pre-lunar energy)
00 pre-pot if out of combat
01 Starfall
02 Wrath (to enter eclipse, resets starfall)
03 Incarnation: Chosen of Elune and Nature's Vigil
04 Sunfire
05 Moonfire
06 Starfall (once the first expires)
07 Starsurge on CD or proc/ Starfire as filler
. (15 seconds left on Incarnation)
08 Celestial Alignment (resets Starfall)
09 Moonfire (also aplies Sunfire)
10 [Starfall (once the second expires)
11 Starsurge on CD or proc/ Starfire as filler
12 Moonfire right before CA/INC/NV all fall off together.

/addendum: If you are a Troll druid, i recommend using Berserking together with Celestial Alignment, so that you have All 4 buffs up at the same time for a few seconds. IYou can also cast Sunfire and Moonfire with a single GCD at this point for super-hasted DoTs.

/disclaimer: On Earth it is impossible to have a Solar Eclipse and a Lunar Eclipse at the same time; but Azeroth, unlike Earth, has TWO Moons, so Azeroth can have a simultaneous Solar and Lunar Eclipse, or even a Double Solar Eclipse with one moon ocluding the other. The tides on Azeroth must be insane.

Casting Sunfire also applies the the periodic damage effect of Moonfire to your target.
