Druid or Shaman better?

Just because the classes are different doesn't make them incomparable. You're allowed to have an opinion, guys.
Druid Resto > Shaman Resto. I don't know much about Shaman Resto, but I doubt Shaman can solo heal 10 man ToC.
Druid Balance < Shaman Elemental. They do comparable damage, but the Ele Shaman SP buff is more desirable and unique to its spec.
Druid Feral > Shaman Enhancement. Both bring some very desirable hard-to-get buffs, but cat DPS blows enhancement DPS out of the water.

Not sure about resto shammy but I don't like Druid healing. However I LOVE feral dps and constantly top every dps meter out there while having a load of fun
what's shaman healing like?

they seriously just can't be compared adequately, they have so many differences they can only be compared within certain conditions and under different conditions the results can be completely reversed.
there's just not enough in common with the classes as a whole to answer such a vague question
I could ask which is better between a hammer and a saw but them being tools isn't enough to compare them...need to know what you have in mind whether it be nailing something or cutting something

For balance druids I believe you are forgetting key things they bring to raids.
Moonkin Aura=5% crit to casters
Improved Faerie Fire=3% hit and crit to casters as well as reducing armor by 5%
Thorns
MoTW
Earth and Moon=Increases all spell damage by 13%
Which is alone enough to say I believe they are essential to have a in raid over a shaman.
Picking up a Shammie over a Moonkin basically means this
-13% Spell Damage
-3% Hit
-MotW
-3% Haste
+280 Spell Power
+3% Crit
+5% Haste
+Bloodlust
Most of these buffs are pretty easy to find in a 25-man raid, brought by multiple common specs. +280 Spell Power is the exception, and it's a very attractive buff that can't be found outside of Ele Shamans (or Demo locks, but do those really exist?)
