Taran:
Let's rejigger:

Echos of the beast -1
Blood Drinker -1
Inhuman recovery -2
  -Catch +2 (silver)

+1 Feeding Dependency affecting the following Powers (does not include the bonus refresh):

+1 Human Form
   - Beast Change -1
   - Inhuman Strength -2
   - Inhuman Speed -2
   - Claws -1

+1 Human Form upgrade: Involuntary Change(When taken out by Hunger; in the presence of blood; or at times of stress(GM dependent) (affecting):
  - Hulking size -2
  - Inhuman tougness -2

9 refresh

Drop a power, maybe speed or increase you catch to +3 (research?)

Blood Drinker is with you at all times, even in human form, which makes you a bit of a cannibal..  If you want it only to be available in your wolf form, move it there.  So, as soon as you change shape, the bloodlust kicks in.  But, I'd make it independent of Feeding Dependency.

If you go Full Wendigo, you are likely to be taken out by Hunger at the end of a fight since you have to resist a 10 shift hit.

Maybe Feeding Dependency doesn't affect your Wendigo powers, only your base powers.

Remember, you can avoid taking Hunger stress by paying out in powers.  Losing your powers lets you absorb stress.  Once you have no powers left, you don't make for a very dangerous Wendigo.  But, maybe, at that point, you let the Hunger stress take you out and you gain all the Wendigo powers?

TBH Feeding Dependency is a strange power that most people try to avoid.  You get the same effect as just taking compels.

There are some custom powers that might be better for you.  I'll post them when I have time.

Bearclaw:
Yea, I like where you're going.  Except:

The way I understand it, that 10 point stress hit would just force him to feed, right?  That's what I was thinking anyway. 
The idea is, when he hulks out, the blood lust is upon him, and he wants to bathe in blood.  Pretty much like the Loup Garou. Mechanically, he's just going to have to make a blood frenzy check every single round, until he fails or the GM just compels it.

The rest of the time, under stress, he's actively trying to NOT hulk out and kill everything in sight.  If he fails a check and goes Blood Frenzy, he automatically shifts into the Garou, or Windigo form and chews on someone.  Or everyone. 

He can even do it on purpose, I think.  But again, when he shifts, it's like dropping a grenade, and friend and foe alike are endangered.

Sanctaphrax:
You're probably better off just using Blood Drinker and Compels. Feeding Dependency isn't really the best-written Power. And going by what you've said about the experience you want, I don't think it's likely to give you what you're hoping for.

Bearclaw:
You're probably right, but I'm at 9 refresh already, and I had to downgrade the toughness :)

Bearclaw:
OK, I did some changing around again.  If anyone is still here, this is what I think I'm going to go with:

Powers/Stunts -8
Echos of the beast -1
Supernatural recovery -4
  -Catch +3 (silver)(everyone knows silver hurts werewolves)
+1 Feeding Dependency affecting the following Powers (does not include the bonus refresh):
+1 Human Form
   - Beast Change -1
   - Inhuman Strength -2
   - Inhuman Speed -2
   - Claws -1
+1 Human Form upgrade: Involuntary Change(When taken out by Hunger; in the presence of blood; or at times of stress(GM dependent) (affecting):
  - Hulking size -2
  - Demonic Co-pilot -1

The Demonic Co-pilot both gives a boost to everything, and fills him with a rage and a need to kill.  I think it will be fun.
