Powershifting is switching out often back into another form as a Druid with the Furor Talent to gain an instant boost of Rage or Energy.
This was an advanced technique used by many skilled or knowledgeable feral dps players in The Burning Crusade while chain-drinking Mana Potions (!) in order to squeeze out as much energy and therefore dps as possible, sometimes also while using the infamous level 40 (!) 
[Wolfshead Helm]. This technique was nerfed in Patch ___ toward the end of The Burning Crusade and will not return, according to Blizzard posters on the Official Forums - as it was never intended and caused some rather strange behaviour.
The name comes from the real-life motor racing term which refers to "The clutch [being] briefly depressed while the shift lever is slammed from gear to gear, keeping the engine in its power band." See Powershifting.
