Only thing even remotely comparable is breath, which doesn't seem to have recharge/limitations, BTW, which leads to dragon standing still and spamming his breath at enemies... And even that for the secondary effects, not pure damage (as capability of targeting different saves with breath is rather good, though I'm not sure how balanced).
You have to remember that is qualifies as a dragon for breathe feats, so it does have some options. Fell breathe to take down levels, etc. Its stronger then any of the breathe based classes out there right now (Dragon Shman and Dragon Fire Adept) in its breathe weapon, and it gets EX flight and a large natural attack selection. If you get pounce on it you could do some real melee damage as well.
