According the the developers' understanding, druids are now as they were at this point in the timeline of Classic. Why should two magic-sv DoT's stack? Creeping Crud is an upgrade to Stinging Swarm, not a separate spell line. And ya fo real: if you are solo grinding and aren't charming animals, ur doin' it wrong.
Dunno about your problem with the giants .. that sounds unusual for P99. Are there are any mobs at the fort that are druids or shamen? They may be buffing the other giants with SoW. Maybe try dispelling a giant before you begin fighting him.
