1.) Are they good tanks?
Yes, they are very good tanks. They can tank just about any heroic or any raid boss.

2.) What can a warrior do that a druid cant?
Disarm, spell reflect, their shouts. Warriors are generally considered better tanks against spell casters, and those mobs that can be disarmed. They also have the ability to push crushing blows / crits off the mellee charts. To do that, druids would need TONS of dodge.

3.) I have seen druids main tanks for gruuls and other raids, why would someone say that they make better off tanks then main tanks?
Say you have two tanks. Warrior vs. Druid. Both are excellent tanks, have great gear, etc. Which do you want tanking? Better way to ask this, is which would help better on the dps side?
A prot warrior is almost useless on dps. They just don't have the talents to actually put ANY dps out. A feral druid, though, has to pick up some really good dps talents to be able to also tank. They can, without switching builds, easily just swap some gear, and get above average on the dps charts. This is why we usually off tank. It isn't that we can't tank the stuff, it is just that we are more useful as dps then the other tanks.

4.) I made a pally hoping to make him a tank but, I don’t believe they make a good tank. Is that true?
I love healing pallie tanks. I also love to dps with them tanking. Pallies shine when they have multiple targets to tank. Once you get geared, you can start using less cc and do a better job tanking. Pallies downfall is usually in the single target, long fights. This is where you can get outpaced if you don't watch your spell rotation / have the gear / have the knowledge to play it. In fact, I would say my priests favorite tank for heroics is a pally tank.
As for which one to take up to tank, all three are great. The only draw back of the other two is that generally people don't level up the tanking trees while leveling. Pallies usually level ret and warriors generally level one of the other two trees, just because it is very slow to level in the tanking trees. That is were the druids are lucky.
darn, you type faster then I do :)
