In triceratops form I have powerful charge. Youre right about animal growth, it doesn't stack with wild shape because theyre both polymorph effects. Pity.
Thanks on the vital strike heads-up, I was under the impression that "the attack action" could also mean a full-round attack.
With the magical knack trait I can keep my spell level, so no hurt done there. Thanks!
I think I will rebuild him to a hippopotamus-shaper so I dont need to charge.

Ah, I see.
I want to be abke to use healing wands on myself, as well as granting me and my whole party the ability to ignore difficult terrain and have some fun with the deception subdomain. Also the 10 feet movement is really nice, last but not least it fits the flavor (monster hunter of sun wukong).
If this is not a PFS build take animal soul feat from ACG and cast anmal growth and atavism on yourself (illegal in PFS)
Don't need greater magic fang and +1 on AoMF. Consider furyborn instead of +1 and spell storing on AoMF or just holy. AOMF does not require +1 enchantment like standard weapons do.
Not sure if armor spikes would stay when wild shaped since wild armor only retains the armor bonus.
Belt of Strength
There are other posts that address good items to have for wild shaped druids
Also for ignore difficult terrain cast mass feather step
For increased speed cast longstrider (always up)
Healing wands you can use anyway.
The loss of a druid caster level versus the bonus of the cleric level is questionable

I dont lose druid caster level because of the magical knack trait.
I do need cleric to heal self; im a damphir, remember ;-) (inflict light wounds)
And yes, it is for PFS so no illegal feats or scroll scribing.
Also, the domain allows me to cast feather step-like stuff as a free action up to 6 times a day at a 30ft range, kinda nice

Magical Knack just boosts the caster levels of spells you cast. It doesn't help your spells per day or what level spell you can cast. You'll be capping yourself at 5th level spells where a full druid would have 6th level spells.
If that's not important to you, I'd take 4 levels of Barbarian and Shaping Focus.
Also don't underestimate dire tiger (or dinosaur) animal companion with druid buffs can be truly frightening
