Faiths of Eberron Planar Shepherd class: overpowered?

[(Psi)SeveredHead]

To get the initial comments out of the way, I don't have the book, probably won't buy it, and I don't think it's actually broken because no DM will allow it to be used as written. I'm annoyed, rather, that no one bothered to pay attention to the class while written.

The Planar Shepherd is a Faiths of Eberron PrC. I'm sure it has cool flavor or something, but it's drawing attention for it's mechanics.

"Then there's Planar Shepherd (or something like that) that advances Animal Companion, divine spellcasting and Wild Shape HD size and frequency and lets you Wild Shape into magical beasts and Outsiders and Elementals native to a specific plane. The Wild Shape (Outsider) ability ALSO lets you assume the Extraordinary, Supernatural and Spell-Like Abilities of the form. Can you say Efreet?"

Or balor, which can cast Dominate Monster at will, or whatever. It does cost two uses of Wild Shape, but seriously, why wouldn't I be a balor all day? (Use another spell to disguise your form, of course.)

I was hoping to see ENWorld people comment on this.

Edit: Seems there's more.

Planar bubble...easily the most broken ability the class gets. Pick Dal Quoar as your domain for example. Now, you and everyone within your 40-foot diameter planar bubble gets 10 rounds of actions for every single round of actions those outside the bubble get. Although you need to keep concentration on the effect, the rest of your party doesn't.

Time Stop eat your heart out.

Don't believe me? The class ability clearly states you get all of the physical qualities of the plane. If you look up the physical qualities in the DMG, it clearly specifies that this includes gravity and time traits as well. That's RAW.

It seems to allow Wildshaping to work with templates as well, but I can't find the quote.

wow, sounds sick. As much as i love powerfull druids ( a romantic ideal that nature alwayse wins ) i would feel bad playing as this class. Although i note, i dont have the book nore have a read it, But it gives to many good options for wildshape. I think exalted wildshape and dragon wildshape pushes it, and thats as far as i would go.
