My first toon ever in EQ was a Wood Elf Druid. I thought it would be the perfect mix of melee and spells. And then around level 10 I started getting by butt kicked when I melee'd heavily and had to switch tactics. By level 20, I was pretty much kiting and rooting & nuking and having a weapon in my hand was just for show. By level 30, my hands had totems or what you will in them and I kept a scimitar or a club in a backpack for giggles.
I mostly solo'd my druid, so whenever I found myself in a group with others, I buffed the party and then was either a healer/patch-healer or a DPS nuker, depending on the other classes present, and always "on call" for evacs.
Learn your druid through soloing, duoing, and grouping and you'll figure out how to rotate your duties.
