Druids used to be awesome in PvP. You couldn't kill a resto druid. Shapeshifting got you out of snares. That's gone. I'm sure they're OK still, but not what they were. (I quit playing earlier this year).
Yes, if you want to tank at level 85, you need to take the bear talents, and cat talents for dps. I bear-tanked at level 40ish once as a resto druid, but you can't have kitty talents and tank in the endgame.
Rogues have more tools for melee dps. They used to have better stealth, but I think that's been changed. They have the misdirect-like tool to give threat to your tank. They have better aggro dumps and they have better crowd control. Out questing or in PvP, being able to self-heal or go into bear form makes you more survivable as a druid, but then sap and blind and vanish go a long way as a rogue.
