Tree form should be similar to other druids, but grey skin instead of brownish, no leaves on the branches, and dark purple eyes. >:P

As I think about it, Worgen Druids do make a bit more sense than Draenei Druids - my reasons:
Although Draenei have Shamans, they still aren't really in tune with nature enough to be Druids, being from another planet and all. Most Draenei don't even like Shamanism, they'd rather follow the Light. They are also more technologically advanced, and usually more primitive races practice Druidism.
Worgen, on the other hand: since they are already bestial, they are closer to nature and probably more primitive compared to Draenei. The fact that they were/are originally civilized humans may explain lack of Shamanism.
And besides, squidbears and squidkitties would be just plain weird.

I don't even see why Worgen can be Druids, what's the point of being a Werewolf if you're going to be in a different form almost all the time? I say they should have gotten Shaman instead. Sure Shaman get ghost wolf, but let's be honest, you're really only using ghost wolf from 16-20, unless you get improved ghost wolf, and even then it's only for running away or traveling short distances that aren't worth the cast time of your mount.
There's one real reason for this: Faction class balance. Right now there's one class on either side that can be Druid (Night Elf and Tauren). They added Druid to the Trolls Horde-side, so they had to offer Druid to a race Alliance side to keep that balanced.
While the Wildhammer clan justifies Dwarf Shaman, they don't really have any history in lore of Druids. Same with Humans. And
Gnome Druids
, while being adorable, would make less sense than Human Druids.
That leaves the Draenei and the new race, the Worgen. I'm not exactly certain why they didn't give the class to the Draenei - possibly because it would have left them digging for another class to round out the Worgen repertoire. So that's why we'll have shape-shifting shape-shifters.
