Those two pairings have opposite curves I think. The rogue druid gets more fun as you progress. Cat form with some talents to back it up can start to put out the DPS pretty quick too and both being able to stealth makes it more fun too. We can kill higher level mobs without either one of us having stealth available to go to the next one at times. A druid can also tag mobs with moonfire faster than just about any other class can and the pop a HoT and and go bear form while the rogue cleans them up. So you can still win the tag fest battles in the camped questing areas (anything that drops runecloth after 1.5 came out, sigh). You get more tricks as you level with this pair that gets more fun.
I think the priest/mage is going to get less fun as the mobs start getting more HP and hitting harder. You'll have more trouble with elites than a rogue druid will, but you will still probably kill faster anyway. You will have the majority of your tricks early on and the play style doesn't look to be one that will evolve too much. It still looks like it would be huge huge fun but I just think that the fun level of this pairing will fall off some while the fun level of rogue druid has climbed at just about every level up. :)

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
