This is similar to a Troll with one fighter level (martial weapon proficiency)making iterative attacks with its base attack bonus using a long sword in one hand and making a claw attack as a secondary natural attack (at -5) with the other hand.This combination can certainly lead to a large number of attacks, and a good AC.  The weakness is the abysmally low base attack, and the lower druid level for wildshape purposes and caster level.  The combo gets even weaker when more than 2 monk levels are added.  If your campaigns include a large number of low ac foes, this combo is nasty.  Otherwise, you're better off as a straight druid for the caster level and improved wildshape forms/times per day.Compare to a Bbn10 with a 28 Str (buy 16, +2 for levels, +4str item, +4 rage, +2 enlarge) when raging and having enlarge person cast on him, using a weapon focus'd, +2 Greataxe for +21/+16 to hit and 3d6+15 damage... or power attacking down to the +15 hit mod on the low AC foes and hitting for 3d6+27.  The average damage is higher for the barbarian in both single attacks and the full attack.</blockquote>
