@Skald :

if it is possible to make a strength primary bard, dexterity/charisma second, I am sold! ;)

It is possible, just like with the bladesinger, to just go with strength for your MBA's instead (especially if you want a two handed weapon). With most of the powers, you could also go Dex + Cha and go with RBA's with a bow. You still probably want charisma anyway as nearly all the riders that are stat based reference it. Int isn't even that much of a secondary stat (other than some knowledge based utilities, it would mostly be useful for older stuff).

Is there a feat where a sentinel can get wild shape?

Technically yes, if you take the two new feats.

Call to the Wild, causes you to lose a daily power for a use of summon natural ally. Unfortunately, this daily does nothing, as you do not have a Primal Aspect, instead having a season. With access to the Call of the Wild, you can take Beastwalker Circle, which gives you wild shape. The rest of the feat doesn't matter, as you won't be getting additional uses of Summon Natural Ally anyway.

Hopefully they do something to at least make Summon Natural Ally into a useful power for sentinels (all they have to do is map the seasons to a primal aspect ... the wolf seems to be the Primal Predator and the bear seems to be the Primal Guardian, so it's just a matter of doing some errata, or maybe having new beasts made up for sentinels that take Call of the Wild. It would be funny though to see the animal companion, a summoned natural ally and a beast formed druid all together at the same time.

The arid barbarian starts a bit ahead of the curve in terms of AC, and if they go with added bonuses of hafted defense and/or defensive weapon (which is trading off from your biggest possible weapon shtick) you can get a bit farther ahead.

However, it should be pointed out that, in the case of the other barbarians, you would be picking up hide expertise, and the epic version of that feat as you level up, but there is no such feat support for cloth armor. So you get your bonus to AC right away in the form of unarmored agility instead of getting it at paragon and epic. You do have to weigh the defender and striker aspects of the character. Not to mention maximizing the AC and Reflex leaves the will very low on the arid berserker. Having your defender or your striker stunned or dominated is not a good thing generally speaking. You get a little buff thanks to masterwork quality of robes, but you are still starting a ways behind on that front.
