Priest leveling isn't hard, boring sure but hard not at all.
As a shaman you'll be chugging mana pots and runes 24/7 but you have more than 1 viable pvp spec if thats your thing, and chain heal is amazing and everyone will want to bring you everywhere
As a druid you're brought more for amazing utility right now because druid healing doesn't really shine till AQ gear, but then it picks up a lot and doesn't slow down, but pvp wise you'll probably be stuck in resto forever

Druid. If you hate Paladin 5min buffs, you definitely don't want to deal with Shaman totems.

For the record, Tauren Druid is better than Night Elf Druid because it gets +5% max health and War Stomp (which doesn't GCD so you can cast with that stun).

But totems apply to everybody and are much easier to reapply. Plus as resto they cost very little to cast.

Reasons to choose druid:

1. 1hour group buff (MOTW) and thorns on tanks. Nothing else to bother with.
2. Never having to res dead people after wipe. Just chill.
3. Not having to bother with shaman totems.
4. Innervate.
5. HoTing is fun.
6. Tauren druid Warstomp for 5mans is awesome as hell.

EDIT:
7. Noone plays druids (I dont know why?) so you will have gear thrown in your face. No competition on t2.

Nobody plays druid because the class is broken. Feral has no place in raids. Bear tanks are bad in raids unless geared, oomkin as the name suggests goes good dos but goes oom a lot, you have to use innervate on yourself instead of healers which is bad.

The only viable spec is resto which doesn't get good healing until AO but that point paladins never lose mana and shamans/priests have super aoe healing.

Pvp is slightly better but the problems are largely the same. Druids can prevail if they are skilled and geared but that goes without saying for every class

Paladin buffs are 15 minutes and apply to every raid member of whatever class you are buffing.

Priest leveling is fairly easy, not sure where you're getting that they are hard. Yes, 30-40 is probably their weakest, but everyone has a level range where they are dog shit.

Play what you want to play based on level 60, don't change your mind because something is hard to level or because buffs are annoying. If you're healing, you're buffing one way or another anyways.
