Very few Druids can do what Owld does, even if given the "opportunity".
As for ranking in general, people also are fooling themselves if they think it takes anything more radical than NOT overhealing. That's all the "opportunity" is... That means progression, OR continuing to reduce healers as you gear up. Our healers rank quite often, but we do nothing more than just dropping to 5 healers (except Jin'LoL and Horrible) to make farm even somewhat interesting and not a snoozefest. No special tricks, no one standing in fire, no exploits.
As for LB, a good Druid will have 80-90%+ uptime when it matters. When you are talking late teir farming, tanks are so geared, the fights are so well known, and people are so relaxed it ins a bad idea to use those logs as a measure of how to play. Always try to use progression logs, often using similar progressed/geared guilds is also the best route.
