How does say Shapechange work in natural attacks?

Lets say a wizard with a BaB of +12/+6 Uses shapechange to change into a Great Wyrm Red Dragon.

If I remember correctly the red dragon has a strenght of 47 (+18).

And it has attacks like:

Bite
2 x Claw
2 x Wing
Tail Slap

Can the wizard use them like this:

Bite: 12+18 = 30
Claws: 12+18-5 = 25
Wings: 12+18-5 = 25
Tail slap: 12+18-5 = 25

Or how does it go?

On another note. if you are in the epic games how do you rule Shapechanging into EPIC monsters? Any good rulse on that since normally shapechanging into Epic monsters seem a bit too good.

How about gating in the epic monsters?

With polymorph you only gain the attacks of you max. bab.
So with a +16 Bab you would have 4 attacks etc. (if the creature could make 4 attacks!)

With shapechange i don't know for sure.
