Okay, so it didn't take quite that long. After I was done hacking stuff out, my pool of abilities was much smaller. I think I'll re-add the elemental stuff to the Elementalist PrC (custom class), which is where I got them - they're just too powerful to have without some kind of prereqs. Generic druids will be focused around animals, plants, and the weather instead. They'll be spontaneous casters - I like the idea of them drawing upon natural energy, much like sorcerers tap directly into the source of magic - I just haven't altered the charts to reflect that. I decided to leave wild shape in, but only animal shape - as I mentioned before, all the others will be selectable feats with increasing Wisdom and Knowledge (nature) prereqs. Animal companions will be akin to cohorts - I'll probably just ditch the minion system, or make a feat to allow for the extra abilities; I'm not sure yet.
