Pro’s: Huge stat increases when shifted. Metamagic & Spell Pen synergy. Number of base & bonus spells. Huge skill points. Very high Flex save v. spell & Evasion = no damage 95% of the time. Epic Spell Pen & Prac Caster mitigate low caster level v. SR (28 CL Dr / 30 CL Sor). Dragon, elemental shapes.
Cons: Can’t cast spells when shifted. No bonus feats. Low unshifted AB & hp, few buffs. Easy to debuff, hard to debuff others. Quickslot shortage.

Notes:
1) Original Dragon Kin build is here:
http://nwn.bioware.com/underdark/character_dragonkin.html2) Used modCON 5 for perm Transcend Vitality Con mod
3) If you want better saves, take 1 M pre-epic
4) M2 gives Deflect Arrows and consumes 1 L9 Druid spell
5) For higher unshifted AB with simple / natural weapons, go with NG align & take Intuitive Attack feat, but makes build vulnerable to Smites,
6) Unearthly Grace save skin borked with Cha items. Used dm_modifysave
Enjoy.
