at 49-50 I found mistmoore really fun to solo and farm for plat (stuff was worth a bit more than it is now). had just gotten new spells but still had to invis aroud and be careful. tho by mid 50's that zone is trivial.
soloing raptors in TD with charm is fun for a bit and nice exp. then it just becomes work, but hey, thats what grinding is.
perma pits again are more of an exp grind, but the tricks you learn getting down there solo and surviving carry over to anything else. this is more for 55+ toons.
next in terms of charming would be chardok. this i best for 58-60 or even 59-60. imo outside chardok is a nice place for a druid to bind, though its not entirely obvious why. i've solo'd iksar betrayer without strings as well as (iirc) my sbs without using strings. its a very hard zone tho. just remember, only the dogs see invis, and while you can't harmo, the dogs are animal....
then there's the big cheese of druid solo-ing/charming, and thats Plane of Fear. yeah, you pretty much have to be 60, bind outside the portal, have a manastone, and having es-legs/robe-of-the-spring will make it go quicker. i did solo one of the golems without strings or anything fancy, but this isn't something i would suggest anyone try with high hopes of having a quick and easy time of it.
going back a step, KC is an amazing place to solo once you have your 52 fire dot and even better at 55+. the exp root/rotting bezerker rooms/jail is nice, just know zerker likes to break root early unless ur 58+. first thing you want to learn in this zone is how to train to zone in without getting yourself killed. from there you'll learn what you can/can't pull from where to where, etc. its a great zone for a druid cause harmo works. even with a full pop on off hours you can get from zone in to any named mob without agroing anything. and if you do agro, there are a lot of good places to root mobs and camp agro, just gotta learn them. (or just train out and start over)
at 59+ you can play around in HS-north and seb, but there isn't too much in HS north to kill, and i find seb to be disappointing (unless something really nice is up and i use strings to kill it). i end up running around for hours in seb risking my neck to snipe a few mobs that rarely drop anything.
Solo-ing fire giants and efreeti is fun, and greame has done some pretty nice stuff along those lines.
thats all that comes to mind for right now, but i'm probably forgetting a few things
