If you're talking min-maxing I still believe two feral druids will do more damage than a war/druid will for tanking, even if some other dps warrior has to keep up tclap. This is based on experience in the game more than hard numbers, but talking with a fury warrior he estimated that it would hurt but not severely so. It probably isn't a huge difference - maybe a few hundred dps + whatever group buff the feral provides. But it is better. I wouldn't advocate it personally; I'd try and get everyone in if at all possible. But sometimes it's not, and it's better to down a boss while sitting some people than it is to not down a boss while pleasing everyone.


Druid/warrior will yield more dps than druid/druid because besides losing the dps on your arms warrior you're also losing the 5 stack of sunder which will force a rogue to expose or another warrior to sunder instead. The 400-500 dps difference between a prot warrior and feral druid isnt worth it. Survivability wise it might be easier to do it with 2 druids (probably if your tanks are dying during stomp a lot)
