To Rogue players it's most definitely a Rogue issue.
Druids are really good in solo and small group PVE, which is more than the class was in 1.x. For levelling and doing quests and instances feral is a very strong spec indeed; I could grind as fast as a rogue with a group-friendly tanking spec. I was the first of my group of friends to 70 by a fair bit and a lot of that is thanks to the power of a feral druid in my favorite content. The lack of specialist equipment is no big deal when everyone else is also in a mishmash of gear and the quested and crafted tanking blues are just amazing. The class does need PVP and to a lesser degree raid help but in the majority of the game Druids are fine. That PVP and raid are the only progression sources right now is a problem but the next expansion will fix it (at which point I'll come back, happily accept my free gear reset and play until I hit raid-or-die again).
