@Segev and @diplomancer I am getting tired of this back and forth as well. So I am going to stop quote replying to you guys. Agree to disagree time.

In summation:

My position is the books aren't clear on what is needed for the spell recast actions (someone wants to come up with a better name be my guest). Enough other people in this thread appear to support this assertion, so it seems reasonable.

Thus a ruling is needed for the weird cases where trying to use the recast options in a subtle matter (because to do something subtly you first need to know what the something looks like).

My suggested ruling is the recast options should require something similar to the V,S components of the original spell cast if they had them.
In the case of shapeshifted Druids, they can preform some animal version of those components.

People are perfectly free to come up with their own rulings at their own tables. This is the heart of D&D and TTRPGs in general. Good luck.
