Can anyone give me a rundown of Rot Warden (druid archetype)?

This might be the archetype I've been impatiently waiting for

Not great at summarizing things, and it's probably been posted before but:

Rot Warden:

Invoke Decay: replaces spontaneous casting, gives a list of rot/plague-esque spells (like decompose corpse, explosion of rot, swrm skin, etc)

Nature Bond: if choose a domain choose from this list: Destruction, Erosion, Repose, or Vermin.

Vermin Empathy: as the name suggests, works on swarms at -4 unless you have the same kind of vermin companion or are in that vermin wildshape

Swarmcaller: replaces trackless step & venom immunity, can Summon Swarm 1/day as a standard action, but only cockroach, locust or spiders, increasing to army ant, centipede, and wasp at lvl 9. If you use this ability in a surprise round, in the first round of combat flat footed creatures are shaken

Enduring Druid: replaces resist nature's lure, gets +4 vs vermin/vermin swarm abilities, aswell as things that would age or decay the rot warden or his stuff

Wildshape: gain at lvl 6, at lvl -2, can never be an elemental, gets vermin shape 1 at 8, 2 at 10, and 3 and 12

Living Grimoire, improvised weapon?

Yeah, I just want to somehow build around throwing the book and Startoss Style, and obviously max ranks in Prof(Barrister).
Living Grimoire, improvised weapon?

So, I'm not sure if it works like the way I read it, but does the Living Grimoire Inquisitor's "Holy Book" ability still have the book count as an improvised weapon?

Holy Book Says: When wielding the holy book as a weapon, it deals damage as a cold iron light mace. You are considered proficient, takes no improvised weapon penalty, and gains +1 on attack rolls with the book.

Now it says, "when wielding it as a weapon" and not as an improvised weapon, but it also brings up not taking the improvised weapon penalty. I can see it going either way saying it counts as a light mace for all purposes or it is an improvised weapon where you ignore the penalties just for it. Any thoughts? I mostly ask for traits like Surprise Weapon, or other things that build off that.
