Even play main healer in a group with good gear and a good player. Clerics are the best healers but druids do have their place as a good healer as well.
And the bonus you get is a very competent solo class to play.
Oh and I played a cleric main in high end raid guilds and ran healers for many years (from classic up to Omens).

You must not be remembering classic-velious (really up to pop) very well.
People would sit LFG over using a Druid healer. I remember how frustrating it could be if you didn't have a warrior, cleric, and shaman or enchanter. A lot of that wasn't as bad as people made it out, but Druids/shamans on their own aren't great healers at all.
It's worst case scenario (they are great back-up healers).
This person wants a healer. If healing is what you want, you go cleric. Druids jobs as healers doesn't get much easier in velious.
I wouldn't recommend a druid as a healer. It's just not how everquest operates at this time frame.
