The Roll of a druid
I'm not going to cover the generic balance/resto/feral rolls here, whatever the spec of a druid, you are still a multi faceted, you are not a strict hybrid, you are the king of versatility, able to fulfill roles on the fly - mid fight.
If your a druid reading this, and you don't know what a MultiRole druid is, i'll put it in simple terms. You probably played like one from level 1 to 55, then you probably respecced to resto as most people did, got to molten core in an assamble of wildheart and +healing blues and the rank 4 healing touch abuse ensured
Now I'm not saying that resto druids are a bad idea. It can be argued that in a highly organised raid, resto druids will help further raid progression more than other builds. This is simply down to game mechanics, too few healer classes and the style of druid healing complimenting the other classes very well. With talents like swiftmend, and the improved HoT's a druid healer is very powerful and desired by endgame raids more than any other druid spec.
It should be noted however, that this is not all a druid can do, and as instances get to farm status multi-roll druids start to shine. But everybody needs to be aware that if a druid does go bear, it's usually because the shit has hit the fan.
This is an excellent link by Sahrokh. It's a long post and contains some great information on what MultiRole druids really are, how druids should be played in raids whatever the spec. This post contains valuable information for not only druids, but people who should try harder to understand what a druid is all about.
