As a basic rule i use this. A druid cant wild shape into things he has never seen.But im asking this for a particular case.The Dragon Shaping.Can a druid wild shape into a dragon?is it "logical"?Since a dragon is an immensely powerful creature and is by far NOT a natural animal..

Once the druid gets Shapechange, you'll see that dragon forms are good but not stupendous. Their HD are quite a bit higher than their CR, and HD sets the cap on Shapechange as well as wildshape. A CR18 18th-level druid cannot shapechange into a CR18 dragon. The flying speed and breath weapon are useful, but not overpowering at that level.
Many outsider forms have better natural armor and natural attacks. Their HD/CR ratio tends to be lower, which is good for Shapechange. You don't get the spell-like abilities, though.

Or take 10 levels in Master of Many Forms (Complete Adventurer), but you don't get SU and spell-like abilities of the dragon.
Dragon Wildshape [Epic] requires Wis 30 and 30 (IIRC) ranks in Knowledge (Nature). So, Shapechange is the only option for a druid to become a dragon with all powers except spells and spell-like abilities (this includes psionic powers which some gem dragons use).

There are several ways to get to shape into a dragon.
First there is a PrC which is way overpowered that grants lots of shapes. In Cplt Arcane I believe. I think you only gain Extraodinary powers.
Second there is a mid level feat which allows you to wildshape into a dragon, In Cplt Divine I believe. You are limited in size to smaller dragons.
Third there is a EPIC feat which allows you wildshape into any dragon. You gain Extraordinary and Supernatural powers.
