You literally just proved my position, in bold. When the DRUID hit's 0 hit points, not wild shape. If you druid has 50 HP, it's wild shape has 20, get's hit for 40, the wild shape takes 20, the DRUID takes 20 and has 30 HP left. Until the DRUID hits 0 hp, he does not turn to dust. Are you ignoring the DRUID part of that for some reason? It's there in bold and then there is the RAI on top of the clarification multiple times. You can't be turned to dust while still having HP. It's really simple!!! LOL
I'm wish I could say that I'm surprised that you didn't honor your statement to go with what the designers said about the rule.
