In an ideal world where everyone can bring any class they want, I'll agree.. Druids are just port and PL bots.
In the real world where people enjoy playing a specific class, only have one character that they've committed to, or where choice for groupmates is limited.. Druids perform just fine.
A Druid can act as healer in a group as long as they have a slower and mana regen (DRU/ENC/SHM or variations). In fact they actually work really well with Warrior tanks because they can keep the WAR in zerker mode most of the time.
Their DPS isn't *terrible*, it just relies on DOTs for mana efficiency which usually don't work in a group setting, unless your DPS is slow.
