The main problem with druid tanking right now is that bears only get [Thrash] to reliably tank mob groups at level 81. Before that all you have is [Challenging Roar] as an aoe taunt from lvl 28 onward with a 3 minute cooldown.

Sure, I could switch mobs and hit all of them individually, but PUGs are used to Paladins and Warriors who will consecrate/thunderclap which grabs aggro faster, more reliably and lets groups faceroll dungeons with hardly ever stopping. Can't do that as a bear.

I like tanking, but as a leveling druid I just don't bother at the moment due to this.
