It's probably the ideal healer for pets as well due to paladin ST efficiency.
I agree and I really think that going 4+1 (or even more class diversity) is generally much better than all 5 of the same class. Thematically I like the idea of 4 Hunters+Druid as it gives some of the same benefits as Paladin+4Hunters and seems to "fit" better though you may be correct that Paladin is better... Bottom line is that any Healer with 4 Hunters brings more to the table than a 5th Hunter...
