Been having a discussion with several guild peeps. Question is, can a druid benefit from Avoidance if they are primarily healers and dps? I have a few items with Avoidance which I thought would help protect me if I got my butt summoned or pulled aggro while healing. Any ideas or comments? Anything appreciated.

Yes

Maxed avoidance adds 10% to your chance to avoid an inc attack.. not sure if that's a straight 10% onto of your original avoidance rate or a bonus of 10% of your avoidance rate though - I'd guess the later which should still be like 4%+. Unmaxed it's 10avoid = 1% bonus.

It along with the def aa's are great benefits to any druid b/c we tend to grab and keep aggro pretty easily.

Avoidance will increase your survivibility to any melee attacks on you, whether you pulled aggro with a heal, pulled aggro with determinal spells, aggro from prox on inc, ramp damage, ae ramp damage, ripo damage, etc.
