A shaman for example nullifies a great deal of any additions the druids add. They can regenerate group members and even root. Buff stats, AC & HP. On top of covering a druids duties nicely they can Slow and Haste!
Shms even get alchemy which can craft a DS potion,. which yeah, yeah. stacks with a druid's DS but your group will still have DS without the druid.

Clerics can completely heal group members, buff AC & HP( HP stacks with Shms spells).

Mages contribute far better dps hands down and get a super nice DS.
I see your point, but I'll stand my ground. I've lost count of how many times Ive been brought into a group for Main Heals, because there wasnt a Cleric,or shaman in zone.

With that being said, I know enough about the druid class to say, that whilst they are versatile. They cannot MH any group 50+. As a druid, when brought into a group to be a main healer, I'll state immediately that I will do my best, but I make no promises. As druids tap out with Chloroblast and Regrowth, its not enough to MH a tank with those amount of HP's.

I will curb this by keeping CC up, and DS. Most groups can see that it's more gain then loss.
