I've been playing a paladin but now i wanna reroll and i'm trying to pick another class to lvl and do pvp at lvl 70, so these are the ones i like most. what i'm trying to achieve basically is good lvl 70 pvp (BGs, arena, world pvp ...) but can't choose one of them.
i enjoy druid's versality but also like the stunlock thing...

some say that druid is easier to play but rogues are better and more fun to play with!
rogue's fun comes from stunlocking oponnents but they do have lots of bottons

Fun is a relative term. I have never levelled a druid, so I don't know how quick they level. I will say that rogues are gear dependent. From what I've read (could be wrong), druids are only good in PVP as resto.
Also be aware that any class that has a healing spell will be asked to heal (no matter spec) at some point in their days. Some people don't respect your choice of play.

This is completely untrue all specs are viable for pvp as a druid but a druids strenght in pvp comes from making the best use of his forms at all times. This is why i find my druid so rewarding. I have to think about what im doin all the time rather than other classes who dont rly have to try too hard.
I would choose druid but i am biased as i luv druid and rly dont like rogues.
Also heals while lvling are amazing imo. rly missing them while lvling my warrior

Thus the problem. All classes have to think about what they're doing in a PVP situation, or they will be sub-par at best.
I will give you that all specs are viable for PVP, I was looking from an arena snapshot, which is not balanced by any means.

Druids are amazing. Vajrapani is my first toon, and has leveled to 38 so far; it's been a great way to learn about the different roles in the game, and to actually get to try them out. I can tank, I can dps like a rogue, I can cast, and I can heal. However, a few levels back, it became clear that choosing a talent spec, and gear to support it, would begin to limit the effectiveness of the choices I left behind--as a feral spec with str/agil/stam gear--dps cat gear--my mana is low, and all the bennies I could have chosen to support a caster or healer role aren't there; I'd probably be only suited, and that only with the right gear, to heal for groups lower in level than me.
And having a 25 orc warrior, I've learned that my bear tank is somewhat limited too. With a warrior you can choose weapon speed; as a bear it's always the intensely slow 2.90. So there've been a few times I've lost a mob's attention because I wasn't hitting it fast enough, and had already used the roar on it. The warrior has more special attacks in Battle, and more varieties of aggro-grabbing in Defense, and has a quicker cooldown for its spell interrupt; so far it seems that Shoggy's my better tank, and that the druid isn't optimal for that role. Plus, good mail at 25 has gotten him better armor than my bear+good leather at 38. Something's wrong with that.
All that to say--basically, now, at 38, feral spec druid Vaj is a rogue, with the ability to heal myself, give myself and others good buffs, and pull with some good casting--Starfire does 200-300 dmg, better than Shoggy's shotgun. Great for soloing, good addition to any group, but not yet ideal for any role.
Ideas, anyone?
You're on the right track afaik, and take all this with a grain of salt as I haven't played a druid.
You have it wrong about bear tanks. It's not the armor from items that will help you tank, it's the armor bonus you get in bear form. A feral tank usually has 3k+ more armor in bear form compared to a similarly geared warrior tank.
I'm not sure about aggro keeping abilities or strategies for being a feral tank, but I'm sure the druid fourms here would. Happy tanking! :)
