Congratulations, Nobbie!
I can't really agree with you on Druids, though. The 1.8 patch has taken them from middle of the pack characters to dominators. I've beaten people in PvP that I really should not be able to and killed stuff in PvE that would have been impossible with other characters.
In a large number of ways, I think they pushed druids too far. I think we'll ultimately see them beaten with a nerf stick as a result. It now takes 3-4 characters working in conjunction to even catch a druid and I've been able to beat everything that comes near me in solo PvP up to about my level +3. The new raw feral damage is close to a non-epic rogue, you have the ability to bounce out and heal with instants, and then drop into bear form and intercept/tank to finish them off.
Am I the only one who feels like this? On one side I've got a druid that makes PvP feel almost trivial and on the other I've got a stack of characters who can't beat a druid 1:1 with anything I've come up with. This can't just be me...
