Highly depends on what your other druids use but the best ones are:
Touch
breath
Bark
Ward for boss
winds
Abundance (good for rage tanking)
Embrace
and of course calm if you have people who grief

Which ward gets most overall use do you think? Mostly killing prot and below. We have some druids with magic ward only

Slash is good for prot. Necro and mord aren't a problem to tank really so if you regularly kill prot then slash

Unfortunately there aren't too many good support skills -- instead of maxing as many as possible, max 5-6 and use focus/natmagic-adding gear to boost them (Skain rings, Necro rings..).

If you're a main, I recommend:
- Touch - of course
- Bark - of course
- Breath - used more as a second heal than a group heal, but still useful
- Bless - really underrated...
- Abundance or Sanctuary or Embrace - whichever fits your preference/gear

Wards limit your versatility, I have mixed feelings towards Spring of Life, some people like Rescue but I don't see enough use cases... I leave those for alts, who can afford to be specialized.

If you're an alt:
- Touch - of course
- Breath - of course
- Fire Ward
- Ice Ward
- Slash or Crush or Pierce Ward or Howling Winds

Basically, make up whatever support skills mains probably don't have.

If you are in a large clan, coordinate with the other Druid alts to spread out your wards (with considerable overlap).

These fine druids have covered most of what was to be said above but magic ward is a must for keeping your squishy rogues alive at unox, helps out the ranged classes too. I usually keep around 30-35 points in there.

If you're usually the only druid or very low on the class then opt for ice ward. It drastically improves your chances there.

Natures touch, Natures breath are a must. Bark/natures embrace are good as well if there are less than three active druids in clan with them, rest of the setup depends on personal preference.

My setup is:
Natures touch,
Natures breath,
Bark,
Sanctuary,
Magic ward,
Crush apple,
Natures embrace

It is very much so as stated above. Tie up with the Druids in your clan and fill out the skills they don't use, for my alt Druid I have max howling wind and bless as there's only 3-4 main Druids in clan and none are using it. Between these I got nat touch which is a given, sanctury and natures breath as the other Druids cover magic ward shield of bark and natures embrace. I only really use my set up at lich boss but it means we are able to tank it with my alt warrior dual logged with my alt Druid and 1 other main Druid then the rest is up to dps.
