I am a hunter at heart, but my first toon, the one I rolled when I was on the trial account was a tauren druid. I thought shapeshifting would be really cool. But, when I was on the trial I knew NOTHING about anything in the game, I was leveling to 30 with a botched balance spec with which I was going bear/kitty and killing stuff with. (yeah. :/)

But my sister rolled a rogue and wanted to level through the troll area with me, so I rolled a hunter and promptly forgot about the druid and leveled with my sister ’till mid 40s when she quit playing due to college. I leveled my main (Artemes the hunter) to 80 and geared her through heroics before I got a bit bored and decided to respec my druid feral and attempt to heal some stuff until I got to 40 and could duel spec.
I did.
And I loved it.
I’m still loving it. Maybe it’s something about being a hunter who has next-to-nothing in the way of buffs to help a group to a resto-druid who’s goal is to heal and keep everyone from dying. From being a DPS where you basically have no pressure (just shoot and make stuff die) to a healer where you have to keep the tank alive or you wipe.

I don’t know. I just love healing, maybe even slightly more than DPSing. Regardless, my druid is level 72 now, slowly inching up to 80. I’m terrified of healing the more interesting fights in Naxx (Lotheb /shiver) but I have a wonderful guild with at least four very good trees that can help me through it.

I think…the majority of hunters have an affinity for healing, to some degree. (My sister’s hunter has become a a banker while she levels her priest)

Grats!!! Druid was my second 80 too, after my hunter. >.>

And yes, healing on druids is fun. I almost want to level another healer to 80, but hunter/druid always pulls me back.

Gratz on 80 Pike. You’ve reawoken that nagging little voice in the back of my head urging me to roll a druid, as I;ve always wanted to. I might wait until my main’s hit 80 and grabbed some heirloom items for him though…
