Saying you can just get a dial-a-port to move your 4 man group around Norrath is basically the same as saying you can just get clarity from a nearby enchanter. No druid or wizard in your 4 man = your 4 man walks. It's the only way to fairly compare class makeups.
Except it isn't, because you are refreshing Clarity every 30 minutes. You aren't porting every 30 minutes. If you are dungeon crawling you lose your progress if you teleport out, and camping multiple spawns around the game is risky because you can kill a placeholder and come back to the camp being taken.

For your rogue example, you can get around locked doors without a rogue while soloing. But I am not sure what that has to do with Druids vs. Shamans, because a Druid can't lockpick either. I don't understand the analogy.
