Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but spell damage from DoTs being displayed in the client wasn't even in at release. It was added some time after.

Yes, those messages should get the boot.

"Healing Messages - The target of a healing spell will now get a message telling them the caster's name and the amount of healing they receive.

Reporting Damage Over Time - Damage over Time (DoT) done to NPCs will now be reported to the caster every time it does damage. These messages can be filtered in the Options window."

Did they do that during Kunark then remove it only to bring it back much later? I also don't remember a DoT nerf this early in the timeline.

I think this was discussed before and somebody posted the live patch notes to support it. Coupling this with no snare/root stack at the moment makes being a soloing Druid a little more inefficient and dangerous. Oh well..

A minor inconvenience.

If you've got 100% proof of it not being in at this point, post it in the bugs section for Nilbog to look at. If its posted in server chat its likely just going to get lost.

Root and snare don't stack at the moment do they?

They don't until a month after velious if that timeline is strictly followed. It can be a pain worrying about your root breaking or resisting in limited spaces. If sow drops at any time you're in trouble. You should really only snare kite if using nukes or fearing or partner with a melee.

The one thing that is surely messed up with Druids is the tracking nerf that is currently in effect, it's pretty much worthless now.

I can't find patch notes about when this nerf was removed. Comments only say by PoP so the dot nerf may be permanent here?
