Hawk Gale and Wolf Howl are mostly fine, Hawk Gale in particular has an absurdly high easily accessible damage ceiling by anyone with CEL and Guile, a pair of stats that are commonly tied together.

Just give it the 25% crit damage treatment, it has plenty of other boons anyways.

Wolf Howl can stay the same. Sound attack isn't quite as easy to access unless you're a theno.

I mostly just wanna second this, Druid overall is pretty fine, though with some GUI they deal an absolute fuck ton of damage with their crittable spells like Hawk Gale, Hawk Gale has such good push back capability that I'm finally considering knockback immunity as a pretty meta shoe slot choice right now again. I agree with Ent that it's mostly just the uncapped crit damage that really pushes Hawk Gale to it's limit. I want to compliment the intention of including Purity Edge in the class' design, as I don't see any other ridiculous crit/hit rates within the class.

As for my takes on balance, I've said what I wanted to say in the survey, I can repeat here that I think melee classes are weak and ranged characters run the game, this is definitely not an unknown though.

That's all i need to say, I'm hoping more skills/item choices will bridge the gap between the two, I am patient otherwise.
