Fact: EQ was meant to be a PvP game

You are crediting the original designers with too much skill.
More likely they just stuffed up the spell design for some spells.

I'm sure you could find plenty of useless spells that are useless for pvp too....

Sense animals
Invoke lightning
Firefist
Invisibility to animals (camoflague is 4 levels lower and invis vs a lot more)
cascade of hail
calm animal (where would you use this instead of harmony?)
Spirit of cheetah. (not completely useless, but very very close to it)
scale of wolf (we dont have it, but would you really bother with it anyway?)
greater wolf form. (who would bother, normal wolfform is just as good for what druids want)

etc.

I use sense animals, firefist, calm animal, spirit of cheetah and greater wolf form often.

I can't see any situation where any of these spells are useful, with the exception of spirit of cheetah under very specific circumstances (and only because of the stupid non stacking of sow and root). Perhaps you would like to let us know under what circumstances you find these spells of use to you because frankly I have my doubts.

I'll do it for him.

Firefist = Attack bonus
Greater Wolf form = more movement speed and atk bonus than regular wolf form
Spirit of Cheetah = Really fucking fast travel time
Sense animal = tells you where the fuck the nearest animal is so you can charm it and use it against idiots
Invisibility to animals = so you can trick people into running into hostile animals while chasing you
Invoke Lightning = AOE DD

There now, I came up with a response for almost every spell you listed. You can have your doubts, but sometimes people do different shit than root nuke rinse repeat on everything and anything possible. Tis called strategy.
