I think Druids (like Wizards) get screwed by the EQ power curve. At 40 Druids are really quite strong, at 50 they are still not bad, and at 60 they are very weak. The problem is the insane increase in mob HP which drags all the fights out and leads to huge downtime. Shamans get stronger at 50+ for the same reason; slow makes much more sense when the fight lasts 100 seconds than when it lasts 30.
Really what Druids need is a pseudo complete heal, something with a long casting time, decent amount of hp, and reasonable ratio, say 2000 hp / 550 mana / 12 seconds @ L56 would go a long long way in the Kunark era.
