From a pure mechanics perspective, I would say a Wizard is a better class than a Druid, simply because Wizards get to keep their full kit in all zones, where Druids lose a lot of their kit in Dungeons.
You really overstate how much a druid loses from being indoors. It's, what, Harmony and SoW and a couple of totally inconsequential mid-level nuke spells? Harmony obviously matters, but it's hardly the primary function of the class. In groups, the fundamental purpose of the druid class is to be an okayish healer who isn't totally useless in case a better healer joins the group and removes the need for the druid's healing. That's pretty much it. They have that weird little niche carved out, the one where you can tolerate having one of them in the group even if there's also a cleric, just because druids can do some damage and be ready with emergency heals if the situation calls for it. And if you can't find a cleric, the druid's healing is good enough on its own to get some measure of grinding going, even if it leaves a lot to be desired.
