I believe that the original discussion somewhat misses the point of tanking. The point of tanking is not only theat generation but also damage reduction. It is the tank/healer combination that needs to be considered. If threat is your only concern then any of the dps classes would make a good tank; NOT. The trick of a warrior is that they can be geared/talented to become more effective the more damage they take.
I would fully agree with you that a druid is more then qualified to tank in any of the 5 man instance, just as a shaman can heal through the 5 man instances. It is just a question of "is it optimal" given the tank/healer combination.
