I played a wood elf druid as my first char back in 1999 and I never had any regrets. I only got to lvl 65 before I stopped playing on the live servers but I had lots of fun till then. You do get some decent heal spells at higher levels but yes you will struggle as a group healer for a time as Stormhowl mentioned.
Just get used to the fact that you will never be as good a healer as a cleric, as good a buffer as a shaman, as good at direct damage as a wiz, and so on. You will be quite useful in many groups and raids but you won't be in demand like those other classes. You will find that you can solo, or better yet duo with some other classes quite well when the groups and raids aren't calling on you.
You get ports, sow, camo, dots, heals, regen, damage shields, water breathing, levitation, tracking, charm animal, snare, root, str buffs, resist buffs, and skin protection buffs plus other stuff I can't think of right now.
Just go with what you think will be the most fun for what you want to do in the game.
Good luck!
