Additional forms would be nice and I see your argument against the enhancement for animal/elemental forms based on the rules. Though what of the refreshing temporary hp that occurs during Wild Shape? There are already modifications in place, like the Bard's usage of rapiers despite lack of proficiency and the aforementioned. Wild Shape should be more than just an RP tool. Its existence is for the Druid to be able to join combat, but because there's no way to bypass DR without a Magic Weapon buff, even Ghostly Visage will prevent a Druid from much more than just being an extra target.
