Shapeshifting Druid Build Idea

[Tetsubo]

I've done up a twenty level build for a human Druid with the PHBII Shapeshifting ability. I'm looking for advice particularly suggestions for a 15th and 18th level feat choice. I had considered taking a level in barbarian for the increased movement bonus but decided to go with a straight twenty level Druid. Any thoughts?

I'm not impressed with Spontaneous Rejuvenation. I don't see myself using a standard action to burn a level 9 spell slot for fast healing 9 for 3 rounds. Might as wel cast some mass cure spell.

Getting Improved Natural Attack for all those attack forms seems a bit over the top. I would stick to slam (take it at level 12) since it boosts both your forest avenger and elemental fury forms. The predator and ferocious slayer forms don't look that solid for combat in the long run.

Other interesting feats would be augment healing and/or spontaneous healer, improved unarmed strike/improved grapple (or dip into monk for one level, get some wis to ac and stunning fist as well), spell focus (conjuration)/augment summoning, extend spell.
