For groups druids *generally* aren't picked because another class can do it 'better'.
A Great druid can:
They can pull better than a mediocre monk.
CC better than a mediocre enchanter and a good bard (great bards still are better)
Heal better than a shaman pre torpor
Mitigate caster damage through Resist buffs
Regen a group to greatly reduce healing require (19 regen with Regrowth+Natureskin every 6 seconds lasting 15minutes adds up.)
DS a tank or an entire group to add nice passive/aggro free DPS
DPS in burst decently well
CHARM <3.
There are very few roles a great druid can't fill, aside from tank/slower basically, they can do almost everything else. And in Velious we get ATK debuffs which count as a pseudo 'slow' as it is passive DPS reduction.
I've been main heal, puller and CC in a basement KC group for probably 6-8 hours straight killing. So druids can get groups and do stuff, but you generally aren't picked for groups unless you are known as a skilled druid by a guildmate, friend, etc. But if you start em you can do pretty well. You won't be getting groups in Crypt or Spore King generally speaking by just putting up LFG. As those camps are usually optimized with the 'best' group setup as they are extremely lucrative and they have their pick of the lot (in terms of LFG people). But you can start groups for em.
