I'm inclined to agree druids are overall weak, aye.

Fighter/Druids do fine because they have much less strict restrictions on their equipment, can make better use of Iron Skins with their melee prowess and aren't as weak after casting their power spells. Pure-class Druids tend to be outshone at most stages of the game because their shapeshifts aren't that great and as divine casters Clerics have equal or better options at most spell levels.

I don't think allowing them a few extra items helps with their problems that much, but they should definitely be able to use at least the Blue Dragon Plate and Ashen Scales given both of those are explicitly not made from any kind of metal and the Red Dragon Scale is allowed for them. The Dragon Scale shield does mention a steel frame but I suppose they could change the item description to say it's just made from dragon scales... As for Kazrah's Shield it's not mentioned what it's actually made of, so that one could actually be metallic.
