I wouldn't go that far.
Sure other classes have the same thing druids have but druids get it all in one.

Damage shield, spot heals, snare, root, stun (outdoors only), AoE lull (outdoor only) pretty decent nukes, a couple buffs, teleports and evacs. Would you rather wait around to find a class that can do one of those things or just grab the class that can do all of the above (if they are already LFG anyway)?

So while a druid isn't the best at these things, it's never a bad idea to have one in the group if there is a spot open. Who doesn't want to carry around a swiss army class with them?

While its true they are a jack of all trades, they arent even the best at that. Shamans are.

Im not saying theyre worthless, its just theres many better choices. And would you really want to play a druid, just sitting in a group redoing thorns, throwing the occasional nuke with a finger over the evac button?

Druids really only shine in outdoors solo environments.
