Nope. Don't be a Wolf Shaman if you want to wild shape. Shaman Wild Shape is penalized. The Shaman archetypes are really there to help summoning, and the only good ones are Saurian, Eagle, and Lion.
Check with your GM to see if they will allow templates to be applied to wildshapes. Some GMs will allow it to balance other shamans with saurian shamans (who have huge options).
Perhaps I should just go with Wolf Domain instead of one of the Shaman archetypes?
I was honestly just making sure I can go Huge something, and somehow get Greater Trip. Unfortunately I don't have the Int or Combat Expertise for it to take it as a feat.
Tripping is a suckers game by the time you hit level 10+. Too many enemies are immune to trip--it's just not worth it.
Generally, there are two paths to power when it comes to wild-shaping. Being something with a single huge attack, like the T-Rex or that megafauna rhino thing and using Vital Strike, or (the standard) using a pouncing form with as many attacks as possible.
