All Dragon Armor Locations (and bonuses)
For the dragon form I removed all equipment except for the Bone Dragon Cuirass (+40% hit points) and Bone Dragon Leggings (+40% offense) once I could max Firebreath, Fire Sphere, Dragon Spirit and Dragon Burst without the need for equipment spell bonuses. I didn't use Dragon Burst that much (came in handy a couple times), and never tried the summon, shield or polymorph spells.
AFAIK there are no extra bonuses for wearing all one style of dragon equipment.
The 'Summon Friend' may be our dragon forms best attack as I found out. I did Kali's first and in the beginning I only had one point in the Summon Friend. I used it while I was attacking the ballistas and towers. The wyvern you summon goes after the other flyers that are attacking you and better yet mine seemed to draw all of the attention from the flyers. I had attacked about a third of the way in dismantling Kali's Flying Fortress and by then of the dragon skills I used I had three skill points in my Summon Friend, one in Firebreath, three in Fire Sphere, one in Dragon Burst. I am curious to see what the all Crystal Dragon armor looks like as I only have the helm/headpiece.
A fighter pilot always wants a good wingman and is a fool to not recognize that his wingman is his decoy as much as he is his wingman's decoy. Each gives both of them a chance to survive and fight again another day. That is the value of Summon Friend.
Once most of the flyers were gone the wyvern was an excellent decoy in drawing fire away from me. I had to do less dodging incoming missiles but the pain in the ass were the wizard and lightning towers. I had more fun being in my dragon form and just destroying things.
The best way to do it is to start at the bottom and work up because that gave you the lower levels as places to duck under and heal because they couldn't shoot me and my wyvern was drawing all of the attention.
There was the occasional flyer that would attack me but I took it as an affront to my dragonhood that they would dare do such a thing. They died very quickly for their impudence .. .

I haven't had as much fun in any other game since DIABLO II/LORD OF DESTRUCTION as I impatiently await DIABLO III. Praying all the while that Blizzard doesn't screw it up and wreck a winning formula. Mano versus Machino.
