Quote:The issue that I saw personally with druids compared to priests is that a priest which was holy specced sacrificed a lot of damage for a slight gain in healing power comparably. A restoration specced druid could be basically a better healer and still had a ton of utility compared to the priest.
The point is, in endgame raids everyone is expected to specialize in what they're best at. In an optimal raid a feral druid is a waste of a warrior/rogue slot, and a balance druid is a waste of a mage slot. Verstality means squat there.
Now the reason druids are wanted in raids is because they make a good substitute for a priest, make priests too good and a resto druid is simply a waste of a priest slot.
Personally I like to feal as if I can pull my weight in a raid, but if a priest could do my job so much better, what's the point?
