Get the entire Dimensional Agility feat chain and outflank. I wouldn't do Transformation. And Enlarge Person? Pffft, at 20 you are looking at giant form or form of the dragon.

At level 20 shapechange and a ring of continuation.
Are you really sure you want to do this? Basically you are taking all the cosmic power of a 20th level wizard to probably achieve the DPR of a 15th level barbarian. If you love the flavor, that is fine, but unless the other PCs are similarly optimized you probably won't be able to be very effective in the role you have envisioned for this character.
Now one advantage you have is that WBL is very low, and this will favor spell casters heavily, and of course you will still have all the power of a wizard, even if you choose to just beat things up, so you will have flexibility if you want it. However, building your stats in that way will make you spell DCs quite low, once again limiting some options.
It is also important to remember that your Physical Enhancement class ability is an enhancement bonus and won't stack with spells or items that give an enhancement bonus to those stats.
For items, assuming you are facing challenge ratings appropriate to your level, you pretty much have to get a +5 resistance bonus or you will be pretty vulnerable on saves. A +5 cloak or resistance will cost you 1/2 of the single item cap, which means, assuming custom items are allow (and they seem to be from your post) we could add another cloak item to this worth about ~16,000 (second effect is *1.5). That leaves quite a few options and you can look at them all for the flavor you like best, but I think the Tentacle Cloak fits pretty well and would be fairly cool.
I probably wouldn't worry too much about AC. Sure you will through a few spells to bump it up, but probably anything that can target you will hit your ac, you just don't have enough money to get it high enough to matter against a significant foe. Mirror Image and the like will have to save you most of the time. That said, a Jingassa of the Fortunate Soldier giving a +1 luck bonus and the ability to negate a crit could well be a life saver. Obviously by itself that is way to cheap to be a relic, but adding other items to it should allow us to come up with something pretty cool. Personally I think a cat's eye crown and helm of the mammoth lord would be interesting additions, and kind of fitting your transmutation theme.

Well, considering he made a post about it and all, I'm going to go with 'yes'. If he wanted something else, like a dpr barbarian, I am sure the information he gave wouldn't be for a transmutation wizard.
Also I wonder if a sorcerer would work well for you. The Dragon Disciple prestige class works great for a spellslinger/guy who beats your face in.
Alternatively prestidge classing into EK may be something you look into for a wizard. Higher BAB and more feats.
