Druids are mediocre pullers compared to a ranger or bard outside, and they suck at pulling in dungeons where harmony doesn't work. Nature Walker's Behest is like a wimpy dot at best, and their charm only works situationally, many of the best places to hunt, like the whole chain from MM to CoM to KC to Seb, won't have anything for them to charm. They can do amazing things with the dogs in Chardok and that would indeed be fun. A cleric that's trying to do so will take aggro from a druid all day long, it's not even a contest. Stun & blind are SOOOOO much more effective as aggro spells than anything a druid has. Clerics get a pet too, and though it's as situational as the druid bear, it really can dish out a lot of damage if you deploy it correctly, by buffing it so it can withstand a hit, and chaining it out to extra mobs besides the first one you cast it on. I've had at least a couple fights where I probably did 30% of the total damage to a group-target mob with the hammer, because the group was sustainable but had no dps to speak of.
Whether you'll be convinced or not remains up to you, though please note that you've moved the goalposts on me, since I was comparing the various tools & techniques for being a main healer between druids and clerics. I've played Cleric to 60, and druid to 57, so I do have plenty of personal experience with both.
