Can druids learn to use wands?

I wouldn't go as far as to say that any druid should have the latest FAP staff. I'm certainly not going to get it and i don't think i can be faulted for taking my hybrid role seriously.
(recently i spent some 250 badges on healing gear for when i have to respec resto in BT/Hyjal, seems more important to me than gaining 50 more mana per hit in a situation i do not wish to be in).
However it is indeed easy to grab a good FAP weapon along the way, be it the Terrestian, Zul'jin or SSC one, or even just the Earthwarden. You don't need to regen 2000 mana per hit for it to be interresting, any mana proc is a benefit.

If i'd catch a player doing that on a "not farmed" fight, i'd look at WWS logs to verify when he drank potions and what his consummables were and so on and ask him about what he did to be OOM, ...
So yes i'd wonder and check, but i wouldn't criticize right away. (dying is not necessarily a good excuse though :p)

I have no idea what you guys are arguing about, but no druids can't use wands, if you're out of mana and totally exhausted on options I don't see any reason why you can't melee the boss for mana. And yeah, feral staves are the popular choice for this (FAP is pretty easy). It's not like you'd be doing anything else when you have no mana, and its technically no worse than a caster wanding when Judgment of Wisdom is up. Yeah, you probably shouldn't be running out of mana but if you did you're going to have to do something about it now, not sit around theorycrafting and wondering WHY you're out of mana - just do something about it temporarily and figure out afterwards what you can do to avoid the mana situation next time. Is this done?

Depends on what gear you have. Feral weapons are slow, which gives a high percentage of mana proc each hit, and with usual raid-composition and accessible weapons you'll be looking at ~300 mana per proc.
That plus the ~400-500 mp5 you have from OO5SR mana regen, you will regen mana fast.
I don't think you'll get 10k in 15s, but 2k5-3k in 15s seems correct.
(i'm doing this entirely from memory, no exact numbers/formulas were used for this post)
