How do I properly spec as a Balance druid?

I'm not new in the World of Warcraft World, but currently I'm trying a new class, a Druid (Level 79 as of yesterday).

I'm leveling as a Tank, but I'm looking for a DPS off-spec. I don't like the idea of melee DPS since I have a Warrior and a Death Knight, so I was thinking about speccing as a Balance druid. With all the changes and the "Moon Circle" rotation, I have no clue on how to gear/spec it. I haven't found something useful by browsing forums, so any suggestions regarding the construction of a decent Level 85 Balance druid spec would be awesome.

An extra note: Getting gear is not a problem, as I'm planning on leveling and running heroics as a bear until I get a set for the bird to raid with. :)

Solution 1:

Elitist Jerks is usually a great place to start. Their forums have a lot of information on all the specs in the game and there are always up-to-date discussions so that you can stay on top of patch changes.

I would recommend reading the Balance spec guide for 4.0.6. The first section covered is Talents, Glyphs and Races which from a quick read should be exactly what you need.
