Jeremy F- I got the chance to look at the Epic Handbook when I got home. The Shifter abilities are insane, but they're not actually as powerful as the Epic feats of the same name. With the Epic shapechanger feats, you DO actually gain the breath weapon and special attacks of the forms you change into. You've got a hard-on over dragons, so if you take the Epic feat "Dragon Wild Shape" you can actually gain the abilities of the dragon you change into. Most importantly, the precious breath weapon.
Oh... and if that gargantuan size limitation bothers you, there is also an Epic feat that will upgrade your max size to Colossal. ;)
It also says in the Shapechanger description (in MoTW) that you actually choose what items absorb into you when you change, and what items stay. Items that say automatically resize themselves to fit, so long as the new form has a place to put them. So technically, you don't NEED to put the +3 "Wild" enchantment on things to keep armor or magic rings in animal form, as long as they still have arms, fingers, etc. Which, if nothing else, makes it a hell of a lot easier to figure out how to shop for your character. Most everything that would work for a monk would work to enchance your natural hand/claw attacks as a creature.
