Just remember to keep in mind the difference between "can" and "should" - it's a neat trick, but going all Omen on the citizens is probably something to keep in your pocket for special occasions.
Now admittedly, I have a 4E pixie druid whose entire schick is that he spends most of his time as a talking crow, but he's also tricked out as a charger and hitting the accepted striker damage benchmarks while fighting in his crow form. Poking things for a single point of damage doesn't have much use in a serious fight, but outside of fights it's definitely a useful tool. And just like any other tool, you don't pull it out for every job - just the ones where it's the best choice. Unless your character's supposed to be a serial killer picking off random peasants or a professional kobold hunter, there won't be too many targets where Tweety-ing them to death won't be a ridiculously ineffective and time-consuming way to take them out.
