Do Druids have anything over Shammy other then ports?

Druids beat shamans when it comes to exp soloing rate. Boss mob soloing, shamans win every time. Group desirability, shamans win.

I'm inclined to disagree with that, assuming you're 45+ and have a JBB.

And before 34 druids can't even really quad can they? That would leave them with 11 levels of an exp advantage, with the rest either being equal or to the shamans favor.

Druid is a lot more boring too. Do a quad, go AFK while medding. Do a quad, go AFK while medding.

a druid with a manastone and or a luminescent staff is faster exp soloing by a long shot over a shaman. Since you're talking about an optimally geared shaman, at least throw an optimally geared druid to compare.

JBB = 15k
Manastone = 65k

The guy who posted this question told me he had about 50k to spend when I was talking to him, so operating under the assumption that he could do a 15k JBB + full gear on a shaman but not a 65k manastone + full gear on the druid seemed pretty reasonable. (plus in general, someone could somewhat easily save up 15k leveling normally to 45, 65k would be.... difficult)

Druid solo spots are also much more limited. A shaman can go wherever the hell he wants to solo, indoor, outdoor, it doesn't matter. A druid has to pray his favorite spots are available.
