Druids Do It All

At first glance, I was indifferent to the D&D Next druid. A fellow playtester has now changed my mind -- the druid is seriously broken. This class can tank like a fighter (through Wild Shape forms), dish out damage like a rogue (again, through certain Wild Shape forms and add-ons like Shape of the Dire Beast), heal like a cleric, and cast spells like a wizard (including many spells from the wizard's own list!). Plus, the druid gets all sorts of cool flavor powers like monks and barbarians do. I think this class needs to get nerfed a wee bit.
