| Jalal's works pretty well over Cerebus bite I think, it's got +2 to Druid skills and +2 to Shapeshifting, so your gonna get +4 total points in your Shapeshifting skills, which is better than ending up with a Cerebus' Bite with less than +4 to shapeshifting. The +1-2 to Feral age isnt too important ethier, its only a few extra points in one skill that isnt even your main attack.
Cerebus' may have Jalal's beat in the AR and leech department, but Jalal's also has the very helpful resistances, FHR, nice STR and ENR bonus, and it gets huge defense if you upgrade it. You should have more than enough leech and AR anyhow to not really require Cerebus'.
For weapon choices, I think The Cranium Basher is pretty awesome, does huge damage, and its got huge crushing blow, resistances and STR. The Reapers Toll is quite nice too, good leech, ignore's defense, casts decrepify, good deadily strike. Tomb Reaver is equally awesome too offering nice big resistances, leech IAS, MF and up to 3 sockets. Plus with the Tomb Reaver you have a 10% chance of making a resturned minion, which can save you putting points in summons and put them towards more shapeshifting skills or Oak Sage.
I dunno about one-handers+shields though, I like using two handed weapons for Werewolf Druids since they have such insane leech with Feral Rage and Hunger, not to mention very high life, they don't have much to worry about.
