Absolutely 100 percent disagree you with you, Quark. The delayed res thing makes absolute sense. If a shield is all I've got over a druid? Big deal. I don't use my shield that much. Especially not during a boss fight. What's the point? One hit, the shield is bashed through and the MT takes damage anyway.
Big. Freaking. Deal.
The shield is much more of a utility for a rogue or a hunter that accidently steals aggro during a multi-pull. Again, major boss fight? I don't bother shielding you. I'll heal you to try and keep you vertical, but if I can't, move on. Vanish or FD for the win there.
Consider these things:
*Druids innervate. Wow. Here comes the mana back. Woot! No potion needed.
*They wear leather and thus take hits better.
*Can't they battle res? So if the boss is at 20 percent when your MT goes down, can't they pop him back up to finish the job?
If druids get the ability to res with no cooldown, why would you EVER want me? You wouldn't, to be blunt. So be smart about party composition. Work within the confines of what you have. Take a lock for a SS. Take a pally with you. Your argument "It's not fair to people who have a druidic healer" is full of flaws. You're on one of the highest pop servers in the game. You play alliance. You have your pick of the litter for what you take with your druid.
I take nothing away from druid healers. Nothing. Someone who can play the multi-functionality of that class to its highest potential is phenomenal. But with ALL the tricks up their sleeve - bear/cat form/healing/etc - I think their utility is fine the way it is.
And on that note, nerf priests.
