Some good points were made.
Play what you want, but here is what I like about a high end druid (56 currently)
-Once you hit 46 and get a lumi staff you can solo to 49 super fast. From 49 to 60 you can solo quickly without much gear at all.
-you can port around all you want, without having to find a porter
-camping most gear is pretty easy
-While you aren't the 'best' for a min/max super group, you can duo/trio really well with other classes (duo'ed with a war in the basement of KC the other day, trio'ed with a monk+tank in HS, etc)
You can do a lot on raids:
-No shaman? you can cover melee str buffs
-Do some back up healing once in a while to help out
-Necro wants to litch more? hit him with skin+regen
-Clerics need to save mana? you can give melees, offtanks, and chanters hp/ac/regen buff all in one
-Things get out of hand? throw down some quick roots for CC and snares to start kiting and grab agro fast
-Want to pull? Go for it! With harmo and sow/wolf you can fairly easily pull hate and fear (but expect to die before you wipe your raid)
-hate/fear/sky are also outdoor zones, so you get to use all your spells, including the mana regen ones that you can't use in high level dungeons like seb
-Want to dps like a champ? charm a rat or ape (hate/fear) and you can easily become the exp group
-need to deal with real life for a sec? nuke away until oom and the raid can go on and no one will really miss you too much
I've been doing all of these things and its super fun, imo
if you try it out and don't find it fun, then try something else. i rolled a monk alt cause i really enjoy pulling, though in some situations knowing what and how to pull is more important than what class you play. have fun.
