I'm assuming, like a warlock, you won't need to worry about facing.
Insect Swarm glyphed definitely has a bite.

In PvE, my druids are very sickening (in a good way).
With 5x Rejuvenation and 5x Regrowth on a druid, they're basically immune to damage.
They don't even have Lifebloom yet.

My favorite druid spec (prior to Wild Growth) was Dreamstate.
Basically I'd go to Moonkin in Balance and to Swfitmend in Resto.
Going deeper in Balance would allow for Typhoon, Starfall, Eclipse etc, but you'd have to manage Eclipse procs.
Going deeper in Resto would allow for Treeform.
Personally Moonkin is the better choice, because we'd likely have a 5th member playing healer already.
Not sure that you'd need a whole lot of Resto points, with a dedicated healer.

Anyway, two fairly decent dots per druid.
The option for strong HoT's to support the healer.
Cyclone on round robin or as interrupts.
Root vs melee types.
Moonkin or Treeform for far better armor then a cloth warlock.

It has potential.
I like druids for their versatility too, but the eclipse management is a pretty big turn-off. Basically, managing one druid's eclipse is a pain, although it's doable. Managing 4/5 druids eclipses is just not going to happen and you'll end up with a /castrandom starfire, wrath - although that is quite good dps also I should mention!

They have good armor, good dps and good AE, but are not very bursty and I think a bit suspectible to fear in terms of arena and BG. While their dots do have bite, it can't really be compared to a warlocks. Having said that, I still think they're viable, especially with a dedicated shaman healer (for tremor).
