I don't know exactly how it is in D&D but seriously the bear is just awesome.
Fighting the minotaurs ? You can avoid 2 turns of damages for 2 bonus actions.
Fighting goblins ? You have AoO that can OS any of them and an impressive pool of HP.
In many situations this form just save me.
I agree that wildshape is not very interresting to deal damages past level 3... Maybe it should be...
But its AoO is good and it's HP pool is very usefull.
But yeah past level 5 we should maybe have multi attack.
