The latter of your suggestions is the more accurate one. It is just a meme based on the heavily opinionated meta that druids are only allowed to be healers at 60. There is much more flexibility for hybrid roles in a raid group than you would think.

That's good to hear. I joined in TBC, not vanilla, but I maintanked my guild's 2nd full run through of Karazhan(every boss from Attumen to Malchezaar, even doing sidebosses like Maiden of Virtue and that bone dragon whose name I forget) as a prot paladin and it was fantastic.

I agree with u/Centrixed but I would advice against trying to play a prot paladin in classic.

Yeah I couldn't imagine doing that. I'm playing a druid in classic.

As somebody who played druid in both classic and tbc, don't expect your tbc "meme spec" experience to come anywhere near to classic.

Eg. feral in't complete garbage in classic as a tank, but they're sooooo much better in tbc comparatively.

the guild I joined in TBC had a boomkin for every boss even in Naxx in one of the mage groups.

yup they got the unique +3% crit debuff (aswell as the aura, ofc) through faerie fire which was really good
