I'm sorry the article disappointed, but Hob's essentially correct on my reasons for skirting "troll druid lore" -- there's barely any to begin with. Blizzard did a quick about-face with the initial story peddled by Zen'tabra during the Echo Isles quest chain and made it clear that druidism is basically a "just happened" thing with the trolls. Their interaction with Gonk is only just before the Echo Isles chain, and the starting quests for the islands on live servers now make it clear that the retaking of the Isles was a very recent development.

So we're looking at a race that only picked up druidism within the last several weeks, or at most 1-3 months. I threw in a quick nod to this with the note concerning how the Darkspear assimilate useful practices quickly, but could have done a better job tying it into druidism specifically.
