And here's where I part from my esteemed colleague's opinion. Mind you, this is by far the most debated and debateable topic for wereforms in general; there is no right or wrong answer. ;)
I tend to use Oak Sage exclusively on Wuffs. This is due in no small part because of the life benefits given to all the party members (which I find more welcome than HoW, generally seen as a watered-down version of Might) and the fact that I enjoy having a wuff with 3k+ life. This is not to say I don't enjoy more damage! But then again, that's what an Act 2 Greizman is for. Alas, there are no Act 5 Barbarians that munch around bellowing Battle Orders et al... so I fill in the gaps where the gaps appear.
There is also the small "feature" dealing with Carrion Vine. Carrion Vine's percentage (going on other's research) heals it's percentage based on the Druid's life, not the life of the body consumed. Thus, a 3k life wuff having a slvl 9ish Carrion vine that provides 8% Life Steal will actually put 240 Life back into the wuff for every body popped. When dealing with areas that are "Crunchy Undead" and prevent your Life Steal from working, Carrion Vine can be your literal life-line.

Never hesitate to put another bullet into the skull of the movie's main villain; it'll save time on the denouement.
