In a short while my play group will be starting a new Gestalt campaign. We are usually strictly Gestalt since there are only 3-4 players max, so we like to experience mixing and matching to see what comes out. This character concept is based off the idea that if this campaign is like most every other one, there will be low money output, and little to no frequent magic item drops. Also, it's assuming we only make it to our general max level of 10-15. All the current choices are made with low complexity, and avoiding hardcore min/maxing tricks. Alignment issues are negotiable to a point (aka: barbarian/monk is something that would need discussing lol.) We play the game, and make decisions using our own personalities along with our class choice to shape how the characters evolve.

I pretty much have all the feats lined up the way I want them, so that isn't a problem. I'm just looking for advice on the level progression aspect. The initial 12 levels are pretty easy to set up, it's the ones after I'm drawing a blank on. There are only 2 set in stone features to keep in mind. 1) Druid 20. 2) Totemist 10 for 3 available binds.
1 - 4) Druid // Totemist *ruled that Soulmelds work in Wild Shape*
5 ) Druid // Monk (T4) *used to boost low AC of initial wild shapes and to add a benefit of high Wis*
6 ) Druid // Rogue (M1, T4) *ruled that each strike qualifies a Sneak Attack, add an extra D6 to common opponents*
7 - 12) Druid // Totemist 10 (M1, R1)
13-20) Druid // ??? (T10, M1, R1)
This is where I hit a wall. The only thing that enters my mind to progress is to take Monk or Rogue 2 for Evasion. I like the Totemist, but I feel as though I don't need to progress it further to get what I need. PrC's are open to suggestions.
Thanks for any suggestions!
