Classically, the Fear line of spells should overwrite any 'Change Form' spells that are on the person being feared (Bear form, wolf form, Lich form, rogue illusions, AoN, etc).
Evidence:

Just went on a raid thru that old portal-o-fun in Freerott. During the buff phase the lady necro at the portal spawned and got off a fear on me. Well, actually more like 3 or 4 before the mop-up squad noticed her. The last of the fears actually managed to stick. When it hit, my bearform (spirit of the great bear) was over-written. Is it intentional or a bug that Fear line overwrites bearform?
This is a new one to me. I honestly have no idea why this is happening, but I'll look into it and try to get it fixed as soon as possible.

Err sorry about that guys, I forgot that Fear spells overwrite change form spells.... Guess my brain decided to meltdown on me as I was reading that email.
So to answer your question, Fear spells will overwrite all change form spells. Hope that clears it up for ya, sorry for the confusion.
