Both diff reasons
Storm: short range, high dmg, long cooldown, pretty high energy
Lightning: fast cooldown, pretty long range, moderate dmg, good energy(for druid)

Lightning...
Storm has a SUPER long cool down, evades a ton, and although it says it does high damage I only see it dealing either less or 100-200 more than my strike. Both at the same level. Also, the range on strike makes it much funner, and the energy cost is MUCH lower. Go with strike.

If you can only choose to use 1 skill than use lightning touch. But both are recommended when leveling.

As a druid it is all about energy efficiency. When your energy is gone you are useless.
In those terms Storm is a complete waste of points.
Best DPS for energy use:
#1 - ROOT! (

edit:I said root and meant VINES!)
#2 - Lightning
#3 - Swarm
Last by a large margin #4 Storm

Roots as a DPS skill? Swarm is by far the biggest energy hog of all skills. At 49 my Swarm uses 916 energy per cast, more than double the energy needed to cast Storm Touch. Having said that I agree that Storm is interrupted and evaded far too frequently and you have to be in the mobs coat pocket to cast it.
