If you want easy solo class, a druid is what you want. But for raids i wouldnt choose anything but the Defiler. Templars can do good in raids too...lots of crit heals and easy to solo. But i would still go for the shammys :)
While I agree that druids make the best (and fastest killing) solo priests, I don't think the above statement is entirely accurate.
Here's the thing; Most if not all raid leaders will create an MT group consisting of the following:
tank (usually a guardian)
cleric
shaman
druid
support class - buffer or debuffer - (bard)
support class (illy or coercer)
Sometimes a 2nd tank (like a zerker) will replace one of the support toons but the point is that
ALL THREE types of healer are usually represented in the main tank group because it gives the tank the best overlap of coverage without running into spells that over-write one another (as you would have with more than one of a given type of healer)
The different healing sub-types heal in different ways and each brings different strengths to the table. In my experience, all are welcome...
