I did this combo
For a one-shot with some friends. Mnk1/Drd5, I gave up wildshaping for monk stuff, which was a tough choice. I'd say the combo doesnt come into its own until 7th level, when you can wildshape and retain monk stuff. It worked fairly well, druids are pretty powerful and the monk allows them to not worry too much about armor restrictions (and therefore the usually high Armor check penalties for hide and full-plate).
Assuming you start at 6th, your character only gets better in coming levels. Shifter is a nice fit, I hadn't thoght that far down the road yet.
