Pans out very well.
My schizophrenic shifter is built around:
20 Lycanthrophy
20 Werebear
20 Maul
20 Shockwave
Wait, I hear you say, that's no schizo. Well, I've also got single points in:
Fury
Hunger
Heart of Wolverine
Carrion Vine
Still no schizo? Well, maybe not but I do have a +3 shape-shifting amulet that is just enough to give me a 5-hit Fury so more often than not you'll find me levelling as a werewolf for the faster attack and foot-speed. When it comes to questing proper I revert to true werebear form and tank it out. One thing I have found out about shifting from one form to another is that you're looking at a two second delay so as a general rule I only switch when I'm not in the thick of things.
Against Baal's minions, I stay as a bear and use Shockwave/Maul/Hunger. Against Baal himself, I'll switch to wolf and use Feral Rage/Fury/Hunger. I'm a real fan of Hunger - it's an incredible skill in its own right but it really helps to have a common skill when you're alternating between the two forms.
