In his first form he has 26 str. What do you think about his workign towards imp trip? Latter when he gets multiple attacks I would think imp trip would be wicked since with his next form he would have a 30 str and it just keeps getting better!

But against man sized enemies, of which there will always be many, you will cream them. So go for it. I have liked the idea, myself. I would personally lean more towards Imp Grapple, but both work. I think Grapple is a little better.

After all, since Shapeshift is based on your size and strength, you could conceivably be tripping someone when you yourself are Huge (Ferocious Slayer form) with a Strength score that's comparable to monsters of the same level. When you factor in the bonus from Improved Trip, you've got a pretty good chance of tripping enemies. Because of how strong tripping is in 3.5, whenever you can trip them, you should.
