For a few kpp, you could get a nice weapon to make your early levels easier - smoldering brand would be a good choice (and is super cheap), but look around and see what you can find. 5/55 rings are always great, too. If you're planning on quadding, invest in WIS/mana gear.
Druids are good soloers because they can charm animals. They can also quad, though this is less efficient (but good if you just want to kill four monsters at once and then sit and med for ten minutes). Grouping, they have their definite benefits (snare and DS, as well as some healing), but are not necessarily the best class for a big group. They can be good in small groups, e.g. duoing with a rogue (you hold aggro and snare, the rogue runs after and backstabs, no one takes damage, you barely use any mana).
