I love my Druid gates and circles, and I have a lot of them. Very convenient for self and group porting, but I agree that with the Wiz ability to TL, it is nice not to have to go along. When I was in HHK, people offered plat for a port. My policy has been that if I am free, I port for free. If I am grouped, I charge and split whatever I get with the group. They're usually shocked when I do, but I feel its an inconvenience to the group to have me missing and they should be compensated for it.
That said, while the Wiz ports are more convenient and go to the planes, I think the Druid is a better all around stronger class: Ports, gates, evac, nukes, DoTs, Debuff, resists, heals, regen, damage shields, buff, summon, track, forage (this has gotten me 2 of my quest items without even trying), and the ever- popular sow. Flame me if you must, but for me at least the Dru is preferable to the Wiz.
