HP and AC from raid gear means a Druid can become not as squishy as your typical cookie cutter EC geared one. Having more HP means when you have a charm break ( which is what all high end solo ing turns into for most ) you won't get waffle stomped into the ground by your hasted pet and can channel a recharm.

I have had to channel recharms while tanking 22 or A4 hobbits countless times and its because of the oodles of extra HP and AC I have from raid gear, I'm able to manage the situation. Without the extra stats, your margin for error shrinks considerably and you have to re-consider even attempting some encounters solo because it basically turns into an RNG crapshoot whether your charm will break or not.

So in a nutshell, a raid geared BIS druid can approach a wide variety of difficult encounters with solo success that a normal druid couldn't even consider as a possibility.
