It's really disappointing how little effort most Druid players are willing to put into groups. Yes mana can be an issue for the class but over half of the Druids I've encountered in PUGs have refused to cast a 25 mana snare on fleeing mobs or broken charm pets and make no effort to get everyone in the AE for Pack Chloro or such. When there's no Enchanter to mez everything Druid is one of the better alternative CC classes, and in any outdoor zone Druids are one of the best pullers. But the amount of Druids I see stuck on their ass medding 90% of the time only casting Chloroblast on the 4.5k hp tank is overwhelming.

I had a blast in KC on mine pre bear pits. Had to convince groups to take me, but once I got in and took over pulls it was lights out on any negative stigma. Lots of "best druid I've ever seen" type comments.
I was a menace, though....and geared to the tits so I had a ton of AC/HP to take some whacks. The competing groups did not like me one bit.
Some basics:
- pull macro, please for the love of god tell your group how many mobs are coming
- actively track for warlords (T staves) / named mobs - er'body loves named mobs
- poach everything you can get away with from all other competing camps, especially warlords...nobody expects the druid to be a mob sniper
- only harmo the big pulls like full hands pop or pawbuster room...if you're looking at at a 4 mob pull just snare 1 and scoot, if you can 360noscope fast-cast-root a 2nd on the way back to camp, great...or just body pull and let the chaos ensue in camp its fun this way
- get a feel for how quick mobs are dying, spawn timers, and where mobs are popping next...you want the next 2-4 mobs coming into camp when there are 1-2 left
- snare the damn enchanter pets
- wear your fungi you have stashed away on an alt, swap to SS BP for clicky regen
- dont waste mana on healing the tank, save it for all your utility, or top yourself off before going to collect more merbs
