So two questions, Do I have the below stats correct for Wild Shape? And Can a druid Wild shape into a larger version of a creature he already knows?

Assumptions

BAB: +6
S:16
D:14
From Wildshape
Medium Animal: +2 Size bonus to STR and +2 Natural Armor
Large Animal: +4 STR, -2 Dex, +4 Natural Armor
Huge Animal: +6 STR, -4 Dex, +6 Natural Armor

S: 20 D: 12 NA: +4 (-1 Attack and -1 AC because of Size)

On a full round attack, the druid would get all the listed attacks under Melee.

Allosaurus (Dino)
N Huge animal
Senses low-light vision, scent
AC 14, touch 8, flat-footed 14 (+0 Dex, +6 natural, –2 size)
Speed 50 ft.
Melee bite +10 (2d6+6 plus grab), 2 claws +10 (1d8+6) – The Druid would not gain Improved Crit (Bite), thus losing the /19-20 crit range on bite.
Space 15 ft.; Reach 15 ft.
Special Attacks pounce, rake (2 talons +10, 1d8+6)
S: 22 D: 10 NA: +6 (-2 Attack and -2 AC because of Size)

Now if I have the above, could a druid use his wild shape to change into a huge Cat?

--- Size increased for bite and claws (Using Strong jaw spell stats for increasing size damage)
On a full round attack, the druid would get all the listed attacks under Melee.
Grab would allow for rake in following rounds
Druid could use Pounce to charge and make full round of attacks, including rake.
Single attack would be with a bite.

Thank you for the review.. I had completely forgotten about the size adjustment to hit. I have adjusted the AC, the Flatfooted, the natural as well as the Melee bite and Claw.
