When I was leveling my Druid, 1-39 was a breeze. I could group as a main healer, I had a sow, and I could charm or quad when soloing. Once you get into the 40's though Druid healing falls off a cliff and you'll have a much harder time grouping since a Cleric or Shaman is almost always going to be picked over you.
Getting through the 40's and 50's wasn't too hard, especially since I was able to pick up a Lumi Staff when I was able to click it and PL myself all the way to 52 in a couple of days, but it was a almost all solo, which for me is a pretty big downside. In the mid-late 50's your charming options are severely limited since there's not many high level animals, but it was a fun way to mix things up when I was falling asleep from quadding. The most fun I had XPing on a higher level druid was with a duo or a small group; Druids are great partners for Necros and there were several times I was carrying the group's DPS with a hasted charm pet in Chardok.
As others have said, it's raiding where Druids really fall off, so them being "good" or not really comes to how important that is to you. If you want a porter and really like to raid, go Wizard. If you want a flexible, independent class that can buff the hell out of any newbies, go Druid.
