I can't see how. It's still SAD, still has all its spells, still knows all its spells, and still gets a fighter as a class feature. Yeah Wild Shape was nerfedand Natural Spell killed, but those were both bonuses rather than the true engine behind the druid's tier.
And being able to drop the critter for a domain is pretty nice too, letting the PF Druid do silly things like enter Sovereign Speaker.
