Not sure how they affect raids on P99, but my druid on live was usually in the 3rd or 4th group with the casters and the occasional offtank. With my job keeping them buffed, healed, and things of that nature.

in certain situations druids can provide dps, for example in chardok, plane of hate, and plane of fear there are animals that can be charmed, a hasted pet from these areas can do 50+ dps. not to mention we can buff, heal, and mobilize the raid

enchanters do the slowing. snare was for kiting off the healer adds.

I've raided on live as a Druid from about PoP til now (and I still do). That being said, from kunark to PoP, Druids got quite a few upgrades that changed our raid roles.

During classic/kunark/velious. Tracking, mobilizing with group sow and ports, group regen, spot healing dps if low on shamans, or spot healing tanks if needed plus curing. CC with AOE snare/root and charm depending on location, DPS if AE damage isn't heavy enough to warrant spot healing. During velious we pick up fixation of ro and so begins the Druid role of atk/ac debuffing.

Group regen / resist fire and cold are pretty huge during classic raiding. Ability to kite mobs as cc in open Zones is also very handy. And of course heals/DPS. Good Druids should be able to do all of those in a pinch.
