Druids, less DD spells than even 'Holy' Priests

[lfd]

But I still can't feel right about a pure healer having more nuking versatility (not damage or efficiency) over a DD spec'd nuker.[right][snapback]86572[/snapback][/right]

The druid isn't a nuker, DD spec'd or not. The druid isn't supposed to be. The priest isn't a nuker, either. They have moderate (disc/holy specced) to high (shadow specced) DD capability, which lets them essentially solo to 60. They have no AoE, so to call them nukers is inaccurate.

You seem to be complaining that you can't take a class designed to be adequate at everything and spec it using talents to be better than another class, in this case the priest. A druid's strength is in being able to shift into the role that is required in a given situation; when you need an extra tank on a melee mob, an extra healer to aid the priest[1], or some dps and stutter on that caster mob, the druid steps in.

[1] There are many situations where the druid makes for a better primary healer than the priest, especially if the priest has to be busy dispelling.
