Do the "Bite" spells stack with a "Shapeshift" Druid?
We use them as if they do, resulting in a Druid that does twice more damage than the Fighter.
How about Girallon's Blessing? Triceratops Charge? Lion's Pounce?

I assume you mean a Druid who is wild shaped. Yes they do stack, that is why in our campaign they are banned as they are broken. By the way, you can also share them with your animal companion as well componding the brokenness.

There's nothing in the descriptions that indicate they wouldn't. But I agree with you, it does seem very nasty. Bite of the Wearbear + Dire Bear? <shudder>

Even further, note that the damage listed in the spell is for medium creature (as evidenced byt the lesser damage for small). That implies that the damage dice increase for a large creature. So that 2d8 bite becomes 3d8 on a large creature.

Actually, I meant the Shapeshift variant from PHB 2. But it's similar enough.

It stacks unless the shapeshift variants are enhancement bonuses, I can't recall.

Oh PHB II. Don't know what the mechanics are, but as you implied, it should still apply.
