I have a decent idea for a druid build you could use, one don't go with the 1 level of ranger, it's nice and all but unnecessary, two make sure to play a human. For this build you'll wanna be neutral good. First and for most when you roll up stats, highest stat into wisdom, Str and Con you don't need to worry about to much, a little dex won't hurt you. If you have the Book of Exalted deeds, then at first level take Sacred Vow and Vow of Poverty, now early on this does hurt because you pretty much can own the clothes on your back and a quarterstaff and that's it. However it will pan out for ya because the special abilities you receive from Vow of Poverty affect you even while you are wild shaped, it also grants you bonus exalted feats some of which can be very handy though after awhile it just becomes random pick and choose with them. At first level with the vow of poverty automatic bonus feat and +4 exalted bonus to your AC, at 3rd it increases to +5 and then it goes up by one every three levels there after. When you starting getting the enhancement bonuses from Vow of Poverty put the first one into wis, the next into str, the third into con, and the last into dex. When ever you get a new ability point, put it straight into your wisdom. As soon as you can get the feat natural spell, so you may cast support spells upon yourself. Some spells i might suggest preparing as soon as you can cast them are (some of these are in the Spell Compendium so if you don't have it some of them will be useless to you) Magic fang, Natures favor, Natures Avatar. Natures Favor is the same as Magic fang however it is a luck bonus not a enhancement bonus, Natures Avatar may be a 9th level spell but as soon as you can cast it do so it grants +10 moral bonus on attack and damage, 1d8 temp. hp per caster level with no max and grants the affect of haste it lasts for 1 minute/level. Feat wise other than the sacred vows and natural spell, is really up to you, i suggest extra wild shape and fast wild shape (both of which can be found in the Complete Divine). Now this is just a suggestion on building a druid, but this build should give you a pretty powerful melee combatant.
