from what i understand druids are pretty mediocre at everything so they dont stand out much. That being said any class that is played with skill can be effective - as effective as their class mechanics allow. Druids level pretty fast due to travel/cat form. they are fairly good healers and OK tanks. good dps from a boomkin requires being fed raid gear because almost no one is going to take a boomkin, spriest, or ret paladin to a raid.
False.
Every guild will have 1 spriest for shadow debuff on boss. Huge increase in raid output. Boomkin yeah I won't see anyone use them unless they just don't care about it. As for rets some may some may not. It's decent DPS with hand of rag.

Druids are almost strictly used as heals / combat res. There's been some discussion that feral tanks are alright for some fights but warriors are just superior all around.
People say druids suck because they can't do DPS like other classes. If you are a GG healer then I am sure you'll be ahead of sub-par players of other classes but then if you were another class you'd even be further ahead.
Can also go resto druid but anything else will be almost impossible to raid with.
