I've been playing the druid nearly exclusively, running random heroics via the random dungeon finder, and having a blast. Being the healer gives you a sense of ... accomplishment, for sure. I've realized too that my gear is nowhere near as bad as random_forum_d00ds01 would have me believe. You really don't need full T10 raid gear to run heroics - go figure!

One cool thing though about druids is that you can be a tank, healer, melee DPS, or ranged (nuker) DPS. Just takes a separate set of gear and a separate talent spec for each. And since they added the option to swap between two talent specs ages ago, the talent part is easy. I have a "decent" gear set for melee DPS, but DPS classes are a dime a dozen and I hear queue times are quite long. I could easily get together a tanking set, and tanks say that queue times are faster than for healers! Or, I could go moonkin (nuker), but again with the queue times.

I wonder if the long queue times for DPS is a battlegroup-specific thing though. When I've run randoms on my hunter, the queue times have been longer than for my healer, but not super long. I don't time it with a stopwatch or anything, but I'm an extremely impatient person and it never seems long to me. Maybe 2-5 minutes at most? It never seemed long. Who knows.

Maybe beartank is the way to go though - then I'd cover the "holy duo" (tanking and healing). I can also just not mess with offspec, and use my hunter for "offspec" in the form of another character. He's way behind the gear curve, but with random dungeons that's super easy to fix, and hunter IS a pet class after all.

Who knows - all that matters is I'm having a lot of fun, in a way I haven't before in WoW, so... yeah... glad I'm back again.
