stay druid and use one of the wildshape-feats.

finally my druid has chosen "oaken resiliency" that gives basically
the plant subtypes immunities for 10 minutes per wildshape spent.

while 10 minutes are not soooooooo long, it is still useful. an
interesting combination might be "oaken resiliency" with "fast wildshape".

while this is not as cool as the original, it has the advantage of
staying humanoid and having all the item goodies still active.

as my halfling isn't into the wildshaping business to much anyway this
is a good way to spend his wildshapes per day.
