So I am taking from this that essentially, everyone plays a druid because they're fun but once a druid dings to 40 they should never look for a group ever again, if once they started quad/charm kiting they even bothered, is that about right?

You'll still find druids in groups. There's always something you'd want instead of a druid, but you can't always find what you need, and not everyone is so discriminating. (Consequently, you may find yourself in a group with 2 bards, a druid, a ranger, and 2 paladins. It has happened to me in Karnors).

Also, I don't understand why pallies aren't a few points higher on the duo list, stuns + root and deep health pool and ability to heal oneself, you'd think they'd duo well in mid levels with non kite classes.

It's hard to be part of an effective duo when you do almost no dps. Something like a shaman makes up for this with mind-bogglingly powerful slows in addition to buffs, heals, and mana recovery. I'd say they can duo
adequately with some classes, that is, win against mobs, but overall you can get the same survivability out of a monk or warrior with the added benefit of dps.

Wizards: Quoted from wiki "Congrats, everyone knows you suck in XP groups..." Erm, this means what? Is it just the long cast times or something? I must not be understanding something about wizards.

Wizards bring fairly low sustained dps to experience groups. They can't use their nukes frequently enough to contribute the dps other classes can. They have some usefulness burning mobs in clutch situations, CCing with root, or stunning casters, but for many those aren't very compelling reasons to want a wizard over something else.

is the raiding scene here so messed up that unless I min/max with a cookie cutter race/class combo I can never hope to get in on one? It really seems, for lack of a better word (and only according to forum drama so I am fairly certain I am jumping to atleast a few conclusions xD), tyrannical.

I raided with my ranger and enjoyed it. Got groups on my ranger adequately. Play what you enjoy. If you enjoy being desirable, or powerful, or leveling fast, take that into account. The paladin botb winner was an erudite. The sk botb winner was iksar (can't wear a lot of kunark gear). The shaman botb winner was a troll (arguably worse choice of race than ogre).
