Tauren Druids Are Ridiculous

With spellsteal, purge, or dispel, druids become easy to kill. Sure, they can last a long time as bear against melee. They are not the mage countering class. Spell steal a few HoT's and next thing you know, you are full hp. They counter your casted heals, and do a major amount of dps if they know how to play their class. Playing against a druid in a dual dps(mage/rogue or other) is the best for the mage. Nice HoT's that heal for a lot that you don't even have to cast. Your goal is to keep the druid close so he can't LoS you. That's it. Hump the bear while he humps the pillar. Save your slow effects, use 1 at a time, make him shift like crazy and use up his mana.
A holy pally's burst isn't anything to laugh at. It's 1500-2400 depending on crit. Much more than a priest's SW:D. This is their only viable offensive spell. The problem, if you try to burst and have your holy shock on CD, you can't use it to heal yourself if a rogue pops on you.
Every class has it's downfall. Your goal is to figure them out and exploit them. If you can spell steal his rejuve before he can swiftmend it, he has to realize you stole it, recast, and cast swiftmend again. That's another few seconds to get something else off on him.
Try playing a resto druid. It's not that easy. Everything is situational. Just like every other class. Learn the best strat to kill the class or get close to it, and use it. Stress em and make them wish they were playing something else. Some classes just can't handle some other classes. You just have to accept it.

Healing will always beat damage in a race. Otherwise raiding wouldn't be possible and healing would be useless. One vs One a healer has a good chance of outlasting a melee and they sacrificed all combat abilities for this (though druids heal pretty damn well not specced for it). I agree 100% that right now druid healing is a bit unbalanced against most classes but seriously feral is a joke against anything but melee and one silence makes a boomkin useless.
Also: Spellstealing isn't always the answer to beating nor is purging as these spells cost more than the heals do.

Druids are great in 2 and 3 mans but that is the way they are built, go in with another DPS and they can put out decent dmg while keeping someone HoTed which is less intense healing, add in shapeshifting to get rid of snares poly, and you have a class that is almost built for 2v2.
But short of destroying the class there really isn't anything that can be done, and they aren't unbeatable you just have to work a little harder.
