Cooking.

Don't forget, artisan cooking includes recipes for food that buffs agi (+10), HP regen (+8/5s), and MP regen (+8/5s). Not much, but it helps, right?

Druid as a good 'try-it-out' class.

I like my druid. But if you're looking for a jack of all trades character, play a shaman. I don't want to rant, but if you've read the worldofwarcraft.com Druid description and think it sounds awesome, know two things. Equipment bonuses become very important in WoW, and the animal forms rely on completely different attributes than the caster builds. Between this and talents, you're forced to specialize yourself more than any other class(1). This limits your supposed flexibility by quite a bit.

Also, be aware that the feral forms fall further behind the classes they mimic the further you get in level. Warriors and rogues gain all sorts of nifty utility; feral druids are stuck with the bread-and-butter. Bear druids are hurt by the lack of shields and parry; rogues get greatly enhanced dodge/crit rates that cats don't.

(As an aside to the people who already have their characters rolled, perhaps play warriors or rogues, and take offense at the suggestion that druids should tank as well as warriors or DPS as well as rogues: I'm not saying that. As long as druids can shift out and heal, that's just not happening. But it's an oft-repeated fallacy in druid overviews, and... it's just not so.)(2)

Back to the OP, and anyone else wondering what to make their first character. Bearform and catform are tools, not class respecs. The core essence of a warrior isn't wearing mail and spamming heroic strike nor do rogues boil down to Sinister Spam For the Win. Rolling up a druid to get an impression of the playstyles of Warrior, Rogue, and for that matter, Priest can only harm your impression of those classes. Let's not even touch the Balance druids who think they're Mages.

But if you want to see what playing a druid is like, I can think of no better way.

(1) Except maybe Warriors.

(2) I said I didn't want to rant. Whoops. By the way, Warlock, as far as forum whines go, there really isn't a good reason to pick a druid for a 5-man instance run. They boil down to second-string fillers for three specific classes. Which, not coincidentally, is in the class description. They're whines, and it's working as intended, but it's true. I don't mind. I knew what I signed up for. And people are so desperate for tanks and/or healers anyway, what does it matter...?
