I'm dps 95% of the time or so, abouts. I OT on trash and encounters like Magtheridon where there are minor mobs to kill before the main target. Largely the same as Daboran, we run 2 ferals and 2-4 warriors in different roles, and I can only chime in agreement with the rest he says. Unless you do stupidly high dps, and is completely irreplacable as damage, you're of the most benefit to a raid as an OT every now and then. I can tank decently in dps-gear, and for encounters like Magtheridon, where killing the first mobs really quickly is extremely good, my threath-output is a huge boon.

The important thing here is, no Druid should be so closed minded as to insist on a dps-only role - you can never justify a place on those grounds alone unless your melee truly suck.

It should be added that if you're that closeminded I don't think you have much to do in a raid, you'll be more of a liability than a bonus in that people will expect more than dps from you, and you're not delivering it.
