Looks pretty good! I've usually heard druids do not get any benefit from charisma when charming though. Do druids have low-level nukes that interrupt casting? Might be worth mentioning you can ghetto stun like that. I don't like how you put regrowth on a spell gem as if you should always have that memmed; you should probably swap buffs into the slot that otherwise has the least-important spell in it as needed. You might want to be a bit more specific about buffs in groups; you probably shouldn't be burning mana on resist buffs or AC on a caster who never pulls aggro or stuff like that.

It'd be nice to see a section that explains to other druids how they can try to sell themselves to groups. For example: "say you see a warrior and a cleric duoing, and you don't feel like soloing! explain to them that without slow, your DS will actually be dealing a lot of very mana-efficient damage, and that without a shaman your regen spells will save the cleric mana, and that during the slow fights they are having your dots will be able to work very effectively" and stuff like that. I personally don't think druids are a lame class overall, but I definitely DO think they fit best into smaller, unorthodox groups. Helping other druids learn how they can get themselves into those groups might be a good addition to the guide.


Edit - I don't see any discussion of how harmony works (omg harmony is so great), or anything about how to use track effectively. Also you might want to mention dispels in there, they can be pretty nice when used properly (i.e. hitting buffed mobs but without dispelling party debuffs).
