Sort of. The duration increase is exciting...other than that, skill lvl 33 is pretty high...not sure why theyr'e showing us such a high level of these skills. We don't know how they ramp; for all we know, the damage could be reasonable / not all that powerful at lvl 20.
My problem with the druid skills, and the reason, I think, their damage needs to be higher on average than Sorc skills, is that they're inherently random and hard to use. Molten Boulder should have higher damage than, say, glacial spike, because the latter is the latter is a bullet, the former, a bowling ball. A sloooow bowling ball. In fact, I'm not even sure that Twister and Tornado can be made useful without ramping up their damage insanely. The randomness is just too frustrating and such a weak point for the skill. I'm not sure what they ought to do about that, but a damage increase is a place to start...
