On the flip-side, a difference of 10-33 DPS at those levels is somewhat negligible in and of itself--so, if it wouldn't "overpower" Druids, I doubt it will "underpower" them either.
Comparing AP on weapons to weapon DPS is an interesting excersize given the general intent of the stat on the items, but really it's somewhat apples to oranges. The end result of itemization philosophy is more important, all-around.
One could easily point out that Druid AP generally tends to scale quicker than Rogues due to higher contribution of base stats and HotW... but, again, the end result of DPS is all that matters really.
It's honestly a bit hard to directly compare Druid "weapons" to anything else, because they operate as a 1h class with Rogue-like abilities. This means a Druid doesn't have to dump into +hit like Rogues and thus can stack more AP and Crit as a general rule. With such considerations to make, it's quite hard just to look at the base weapon AP and draw any meaningful conclusions.
