I've raided on live as a Druid from about PoP til now (and I still do). That being said, from kunark to PoP, Druids got quite a few upgrades that changed our raid roles.
During classic/kunark/velious. Tracking, mobilizing with group sow and ports, group regen, spot healing dps if low on shamans, or spot healing tanks if needed plus curing. CC with AOE snare/root and charm depending on location, DPS if AE damage isn't heavy enough to warrant spot healing. During velious we pick up fixation of ro and so begins the Druid role of atk/ac debuffing.
Group regen / resist fire and cold are pretty huge during classic raiding. Ability to kite mobs as cc in open Zones is also very handy. And of course heals/DPS. Good Druids should be able to do all of those in a pinch.
