Good question. I was a little curious about that also, though since I've gotten bear form as my druid, I think melee is a lot faster. Or, more specifically, a combination of the two, but with most damage coming from melee. I will shift out to throw HoTs up on myself after a mob, pull the next one with moonfire, then shift into bear to finish them off. With the way ratings and armor work at low levels, I'm pretty beast. 25% haste at level 16, 35% dmg reduction from armor, double my normal atk power from items etc..
It seems better because I run out of mana fast the other way, but I haven't tried to get much spirit gear at all, nor +dmg gear.
I want to try twinking out a shaman next actually, so I'm curious what would be better too.
edit: I think where the druid loses out is not getting an equivalent weapon enchant to +30dmg, since fiery doesn't proc in feral forms. The shaman wouldn't have that problem though, and fiery/crusader is pretty comparable to +30dmg, or at least it is as you get past the 1-10 range.
