Reading threads like this make me laugh because of how many people really don't know anything about classic, or haven't ever played it. Classic will be full of noobs, most likely trying dumb shit they saw in the higher expacs only to find out it doesn't work.
Druids are not the best class in vanilla, in any spec. However, they are needed for MOTW and battle rez/innervate is nice.
The only people who roll druid are people who want to run flag in pvp, or resto heal in raids. If you don't know how to down-rank properly and think you just spam rejuvenate and regrowth, you will find yourself at zero mana after about 15 seconds.
Down-ranking also applies to every other healing class as well.
Bear tanks aren't that good in raids, but can do decent in 5 mans. They will never out threat/tank a warrior. The only other fight they are used for is Broodlord Lashlayer in BWL because flask of titans doesn't come out til later patches, iirc, and druids can get a higher health pool to absorb the 6k+ MS strike he does. Warriors can and most likely will still tank it since people aren't as bad as they were 15 years ago. They also have a very slight advantage on chromagg, but only as a MT and it's very slight to where it's probably not even worth gearing a bear tank to do this when you can use your warrior MT.
Balance is garbage af vs anyone smart and not viable for dps on raids.
Tank is sub-par to warrior
Resto is good if you know how to heal with it.
Again, they are going to be the most needed class, so if you want tons of gear quickly, roll a Druid ;P
In short, just play what you want to play and figure out how to be good at what you're given. They can be good if you are a very good player, but just sub-par to other class roles in vanilla, sadly.
At least someone said it. Some people are delusional.
