1. Ensnare unless things are dying too fast
2. Root for CC if you get adds
3. Nukes and DoTs
4. If you're outside, Harmony, SoW, wolf form, etc are all useful one way or another
5. Back-up healer comes in with spot heals depending on main healer's desires, can help preserve main healer's mana, OR just heal the casters who benefit a lot from Greater Healing since they have so few hitpoints.
6. Make funny jokes in group chat to entertain the rest during the non-stop killfest.

Druids in groups are basically back-up everything if the rest of the roles are filled.

If you're totally useless and find yourself sitting around in a group leeching exp, consider ungrouping and finding someone to duo with instead.

So Nuke dps is always a better option than lower lvl dots and swinging?
It depends. Drones of Doom and the like don't get resisted like nukes and don't draw as much aggro, but in a fast-paced group they don't do full damage and are therefore a waste of mana. In a slower group with a few adds, you can whittle away at a mob while the main tank is occupied (provided this doesn't prompt the mob to try to kill you and force the main healer to waste mana healing you).
