I think that you could make the case that both the Druid and the Barb could be efficient strikers or defenders.
A Druid in bear form can be a defender. As could a tough barbarian. A druid in leopard form makes an efficient striker. Barbarians are fast and lightly armored, and can dish out a lot of damage, making it a good striker.
I don't deny that a druid could take the controller role, or the leader role, due to their spellcasting. But I'm willing to bet that when we see the druid, you're going to have to decide upon creation which they're going to be good at; shapeshifting and beating stuff up, or spellcasting.
And if Elementalists and Sorcerers are going to pop up, both of them being Controllers, both Primal, then I don't think there's
room for a Druid also playing Controller. So they'll likely get the possibility of filling in as a Leader.
