All the tanks are excellent at this. As are the Demon Locks and BM hunters. Rogues can do kill them in no time flat.
Really, as long as you know the class, you can solo the mob.

Blood DKs are excellent for soloing physical damage mobs because they have mastery that creates an absorb shield to absorb physical damage

Your druid is perfectly capable of soloing stuff. As bear, as with any tanking class, you have both strong defensive abilities and self healing. As cat, you have a vicious offence and excellent self heals. As a moonkin you can kite while laying down the jungle law from a distance - and toss out heals as needed. If you're really patient, a resto druid can outheal the damage of pretty much any mob his own level or lower while wittling away at their health - their kiting ain't bad either. But the other three specs would generally do better, as they do a lot more damage.
If you want a different class than druid, and you don't like death knights, you could try a paladin. The ability to shift between healing and offence with your holy power as needed, and the paladin's array of "not gonna die now" buttons, they are likely a strong contender as 'most capable of soloing stuff'.
But as has been pointed out, really any class can do that. You listed rogue last. When I want to bring down a difficult rare, I log my rogue and prod some serious buttocks.

Basically this. As long as you know your class and have abilities that can heal yourself while taking damage, you can solo practically anything. I play a prot warrior, and I love soloing hard old content. As a prot warrior, you have plenty of abilities to avoid damage (such as shield barrier). If you look at shield barrier as a heal instead of an absorb, you'd see that you "heal" yourself for 50k+ HP (or approximately 10% of your HP) every 5 seconds or so (having 50k+ more HP then you would have had if you didn't pop it). Not to mention getting 20% of your HP every minute (with enraged regeneration). Plus, if you're killing mobs that give experience, you get another 20% HP for every kill you make. I recently solo'd Naxx (except gluth and thaddius), and it was a joke. Some of the mobs were still in experience range (even at 90), allowing me to use my 20% instant heal. Patchwerk and the instructor were the only two who hit hard, but with my self heals and defenses, it was still pretty easy. Being a meat wall and healing myself the way I do makes killing hard mobs stupid easy. Hope this helps.
