WoW Forever Restoration Druid BiS at level 20
Summary
This is the site’s suggestion for Restoration Druid at level 20, not an official list: we use our Restoration stat weights to score every item a Druid can use with a required level of 20 or lower, and pick the best one for each slot. The beta already goes past this level: the current cap is 30.
Stat priority of the list, per point: Mana per 5 sec > Healing = Spell Power > Spirit. Percentage stats count too, per 1%: spell critical strike.

More on Restoration Druid
Reasoning: Restoration heals with Rejuvenation, Regrowth and Wild Growth. In Forever Rejuvenation, Tranquility and Wild Growth can crit, so crit is worth somewhat more than in Classic, though still behind healing. Healing and spell power first, then mana per 5 s and spirit (Innervate scales with it), then intellect.
Heads up: the beta is capped at level 30 and the weights are indicative, tuned for level 60 with no simulations behind them. Sources come from the WoWSims Forever database and, for items that already existed in Classic, from the Classic 1.12 database (CMaNGOS Classic-DB, marked "Classic data": they may change in Forever); an item without a source may not be obtainable yet. Set bonuses and procs are not scored. Everything will change with each build.
Treat these lists as a starting point: your talents, enchants and play style may make another piece the better pick.
