Biomojo's team is triple CC, which is the third viable druid lineup, the other two being quad DPS and triple healer (they also farmed the team they counter best - their own alts). The triple CC part is key. Without it, druid/priest has no chance in hell of keeping people up. Trust me, we tried. It was miserable. Absolutely miserable.

The problem is that all druid lineups require stacking. Stack DPS, stack healing, stack CC. Druids simply don't work in balanced teams. And at the high end, balanced teams tend to do best in the long run since stacked teams will eventually run into a hard counter that costs them 30 points per game.

However, Biomojo's team might break the above statement that all druid-based lineups are highly vulnerable to something. Mass CC might be the answer, since it does not really matter what your opponent fields when they are CCed the whole time. But only time will tell, since people have not had time to adjust to that lineup and find its weaknesses. For a while, gib teams looked invincible, and now 2345 is back on top due to what I said in the second paragraph.
