Yes, it would be nice to fine tune with the monster manual. I'm kind of expecting the upper bound to be the fact that Druids can shape-change into beasts of CR level/3 after 6th level. They however, don't get the actual double attack from the beast ( triple if you include the rangers attack) . Looking at the creatures in the PHB, they don't seem too overpowered at CR 1, especially if you're including two lost feats and a lost stats bump. I'm not sure what the ultimate DPR is in 5e , probably greatsword champion with 3 attacks with improved crit (or some sneak attack) . Hmm.. maybe I should up the level requirements a bit.
I'd also like to see the swarm rules in the MM to add to the swarm feat. I decided to add a nice bonus for swarm attacks against spell casters. ( wouldn't it be cool to swarm some evil character with a flock of crows and have them run screaming etc... )

The feats look decent. I need to look over feats a bit more closely to get an idea of balance. Seeing the actual Monster Manual will help with that as well so that we can see what you can actually gain access to with the increased CR limits.
