Eyonix from Blizzard made the following announcement about the druids today, that hopefully calms some fears about the class.
We want everyone to be happy with their class and feel as though they've made the right choice and have as many options for specialization as any other class. We don't want anyone to feel as though they are at a disadvantage, due to talents, abilities, itemization or any other aspect which could possibly affect a given player's strength. With that being said, we've been reading feedback extensively, from players of all classes and making changes based on our own testing, and that feedback. It should be noted, however, that the majority of changes from this point forward won't be seen until after beta begins. Much of the feedback we're seeing on our boards towards any element of the expansion is theory-crafted, and doesn't take the entirety of all changes into consideration.
Continue to post your feedback, and both the community team and designers will continue to read through what's constructively provided. Beyond that, just be patient -- we're dedicated to ensuring World of Warcraft provides the best possible gaming experience for everyone involved.
