Dusty rose prism ioun stone for +1 insight to AC.
Really though it's time to look at getting miss chances, DR, debuffing enemies or other means of not taking damage.
What level are you? 20?
At this point, either Dexterity or dodge bonuses are going to be your friends. You've exhausted most of the viable ways to increase your AC outside those and the really rare instances that aren't typically available to druids.
Also, don't forget to keep your saving throw bonuses good too. You don't have evasion so Reflex based attacks are going to wear you down. And if you get Dominated, then your allies are going to find it difficult to pin a Protection From Evil spell on you to help break you out.
Ring of Foe Focus (10k) for an untyped +2 AC and untyped +2 Saves vs one enemy.
Pre-errata Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier (some people haven't accepted the errata) for a +1 Luck bonus to AC (post errata that is now a +1 deflection bonus so won't help if you are using the post-errata version).
If you want to save money drop the Amulet of Natural Armor and use Barkskin instead (I am guessing you are at or above level 12 with the equipment you have).
If the enemies have fire attacks, have resist energy or protection from energy (fire) up for example, or use battlefield control spells to try to avoid fighting all the enemies at once. Which is problematic with teleporting true seeing demons, true.
Spell storing armor loaded with frigid touch can interrupt full attacks (no save, but SR applies.) At 15th level druid frightful aspect can do the same without using your immediate action.
Antilife shell works if you have enough reach to strike outside it and your enemy doesn't.

My two or more cents: For saves, a cracked pale green prism gives you a +1 competence bonus for just 4000gp. After that you can try putting dex bonuses on your belt; or getting the 8000gp Ioun stone that does the same thing. Non ac based defenses: If you have an alchemist in the party you can ask them to keep an elixir of elemental protection up on you using alchemical allocation--only lasts an hour per casting but just might save your life. So might a dream journal of the pallid seer, and that lasts forever until used. Post jingasa nerf you can check out a buffering cap for crit mitigation. Also stoneskin which you can cast and haste which maybe your party can cast provide other defensive benefits. Last, I always try to carry a bead of newt prevention on me at later levels to break in case of baleful polymorph. Oh yeah, if you're grappleing things with arcane spells check out source severance--and at level 11 don't forget to use your spellstaff and live oak spells--they are good quality cheese.
The Elf/Half-Orc Druid FCB adds +1/3 level to the natural armour bonus you're getting from wild shape, so at your level that'd be a +3 AC, or +4 AC next level. Might be worthwhile?

Summon Spells are actually pretty bad, since they can't hit anything and have so low health they die much to fast. Pitting a Treant against a Level 20 demon is just useless. So i abandoned all the Summon Stuff.
Dex Bonus is at +1 of course, that is easy to reach, even while large...rest i will have a look at and i too find the fog stuff ridiculous good, therefore i am asking if i am overlooking something. Don't want my GM to be so mad at me, that is no longer funny :)
Suit yourself. A cr20 Balor averages what, 80 damage on a full round attack? Treants have 114, but even if the Balor kills it in one round that's the same as you taking an extra turn. Sure, the treant only has a 10% chance of hitting said Balor, but it makes a decent ambush triggering device or flanking buddy. If the Balor dominates it you can release the spell and the rest of your party basically gets a free turn they would not otherwise have had while you and the demon burn standard actions. I guess the best argument in its favor is that it's free--only costs you a spell once every 11 days. I know it does take up map space, but you can leave it at the entrance to the narrow dungeon and the scream of it dying can be an alarm. But to each their own.

This build here is a very tanky druid. It relies on being a Huge earth elemental and then employing a reach weapon (which some GMs may frown upon, given the fuzziness of elemental shapes). It also uses Stalwart Defender, so it doesn't have full caster progression. You might get something useful from the build idea though.
These two can help
Also being a Half Orc with the Sacred Tattoo racial trait and Jingasa and Druid FCB to add +1/3 to the druid's natural armor bonus when using wild shape.
Jingasa got a beatdown with the nerf stick a whiiiile back, unless you're relying on the Deflection Bonus.

True that, totally forgot about it
