+1 this is not OP at all, druids basically have no armour and no way to protect thier health in battle

Firstly, I should confess that I do not play a druid as a main, and in so much as I am a novice regarding the class, I apologise in advance if this suggestion is in anyway naive.
Since many druids appear split on whether or not an instant cast nature's touch would overpowered, I was wondering whether a decent alternative might be an instant cast shield of bark instead.
The reason I say this is two fold... For one thing, in a drawn out battle, to be unable to get off a heal is quite unfortunate, but to lose the ability to reduce the damage is an absolute disaster. The other point I would make, is it may also help to conserve a tiny amount of druid's energy. A drop in the ocean, I confess, but every little helps.
Because the recast cool-down time is so much shorter than the duration (as well it should be), the temptation can be to cast it more than is needed and simply to avoid it expiring at an in opportune time. If it were instant cast, then druids could perhaps afford to be more frugal with it when soloing, and thus save some unnecessary energy consumption in the process.

+1 to original idea. I really don't see how it is OP as, like others said, rogues have shadowstrike and warriors and rogues can spam skills without interrupts at all. As one of the before mentioned classes you can be hit over and over and after a kill miss maybe 1 skill (which you can recast immediately without interrupt) but as a druid you can stand there and have your skills interrupted over and over... and over... and over... and over... and over... and over... and over... and over again. I've been interrupted so many times in a row that I have literally chucked my iPod out of frustration... Even if it isn't set to instant cast, make the cast time shorter on not only natures touch, but others skills also. I like the idea of having to time the cast right, but when things have a meelee speed of anything 3000 or below (Most mobs) the only way to get a cast out is to spam it until you dodge an attack...

Also I liked Galadriel's idea. Having the skill offer instant cast above skill level 30 would make it so lower levels weren't too overpowered, while the higher levels would be able to keep people alive during tough bosses. This would also provide an incentive to level as 120 would be even more of a milestone.

n.touch is consider large healing , I would prefer embrace instead.

+1 Druids are completely underpowered that isn't over-powered in the least

you are completley right im a 182 druid (naaitsab) and know how it feels to get nonstop interupted and be weak noone wants druid in grp also takes xp druid got slow dmg the best where druids r in witch is healing isnt usefull there sigils pots elix and when idol ya full hp again.
you are completely right GIVE DRUIDS SOME BETTER AMOR SKILS or reduce cast time

IMO all druids need is a reduced energy cost, e.x. bolas isn't instant cast too

Rapidshort or shartpshot or something like that is instant, we aint got 1 single skill thats instant

+1
As a lvl 181 druid, I can see both where the frustration comes from and how people can consider it op. But what many people seem seem to forget is that camo suggested longer cool down. This would limit our healing as if we were interrupted a few times, yet ensure we weren't interrupted ten times over (which shouldn't be even possible but it is -__-)

If not, I also support Galadriel's idea. Instant cast may be op for lower lvl druids but for higher lvl druids I feel that instant cast would be just right and save much frustration (and idols and respots)

Magustra makes a nice suggestion but I think it would be too much like sanctuary and render the mentioned skill even more redundant.

I'm not sure about tht but maybe a faster cast and definantly faster recharge.
