In a dungeon you are definitely better off being a shaman than a druid. Druids loose a ton of spells indoors and the things that make druids efficient don't work in dungeons for the most part. Sure we can root rot mobs but only if there are no casters around.

Outdoors, the druid is king. Harmony for splitting, being able to quad kite, and teleporting anywhere at any time. Not to mention their nukes are nothing to sneeze at either. Later on we even have a bit of mana regen. Sure a shaman can tank and spank the hell out of mobs but druids have more versatility in the open plains and hills of Norrath.

Shaman will (almost) always be more desirable in groups.
Exceptions to this rule include: AoE groups, groups with no melee (pet groups), when quick travel and evac are a must, or if you already have an enchanter.

I really feel like the 2 classes have always had a very good balance going.
