You should have both a regular Lesser Heart of Wood and +20 LHoW in your inventory, which will allow you to respec your char. Rgr 12 / barb 1 / ftr 1 isn't ideal, but it's something we can work with. The good news is you no longer need the Dodge/Mobility/SA chain for Tempest; and Toughness is no longer the must-have it once was. That frees up a few feat slots, although taking Dodge is still a good idea. The main question is: how many more rgr / barb / ftr lvls do you want?
Rgr 14: lvl 4 spell slot (CSW or FoM)
rgr 15: 2nd lvl 4 spell slot, 4th Favored Enemy
rgr 18: lvl 18 Tempest core (+5% doublestrike)
Ftr 2: 2nd free feat, +3 Tactics DCs if you go that route
Ftr 3: nothing now, but after the SD changes go thru you can take defensive stance (note that rage & SD stance don't get along, tho)
Ftr 4: 3rd feat
Ftr 6: 4th feat, defensive stance
Extra barb lvls mostly means access to higher-tier PrE abilities.
I'm presuming you listed your classes in the order you took them; and that you have no tomes yet. So here's one possibility that's largely focused on DPS (Tempest / Ravager):
Ravager chews up half the APs (and Tempest eats up half of what's left); but the DPS boost from Bully + Critical Rage is quite nice. If you prefer a more balanced build, though, you might want to shift APs into other PrEs instead (e.g., from FB into AA for better ranged DPS).Code:Character Plan by DDO Character Planner Version 04.20.02 DDO Character Planner Home Page Level 28 Chaotic Good Dwarf Male (2 Fighter \ 6 Barbarian \ 12 Ranger \ 8 Epic) Hit Points: 430 Spell Points: 140 BAB: 20\20\25\30\30 Fortitude: 20 Reflex: 11 Will: 5 Starting Feat/Enhancement Abilities Base Stats Modified Stats (28 Point) (Level 1) (Level 28) Strength 17 24 Dexterity 13 13 Constitution 18 18 Intelligence 8 8 Wisdom 8 8 Charisma 6 6 Level 1 (Barbarian) Feat: (Selected) Power Attack Level 2 (Ranger) Feat: (Favored Enemy) Favored Enemy: Undead Level 3 (Ranger) Feat: (Selected) Cleave Level 4 (Ranger) Ability Raise: STR Level 5 (Fighter) Feat: (Fighter Bonus) Great Cleave Level 6 (Ranger) Feat: (Selected) Dodge Level 7 (Ranger) Feat: (Favored Enemy) Favored Enemy: Giant Level 8 (Ranger) Ability Raise: STR Level 9 (Ranger) Feat: (Selected) Improved Critical: Slashing Weapons Level 10 (Ranger) Level 11 (Ranger) Level 12 (Ranger) Ability Raise: STR Feat: (Favored Enemy) Favored Enemy: Evil Outsider Feat: (Selected) Improved Critical: Ranged Weapons Level 13 (Ranger) Level 14 (Ranger) Enhancement: Ravager (Bar) - Furious Rage (Rank 1) Enhancement: Ravager (Bar) - Do You Like Pain?

Biggest drawback to this build is lack of self-healing: no CSW and Rage blocks spellcasting. Quik+Emp Heal are mostly there for Rejuvenation Cocoon.
BTW, in epics you might want to consider switching to warhammers: Mornh is still a very good weapon if you can get it (and you ought to have at least one raider's box in your inventory as well); and AFAIK Pulverizer (LD) stacks with Crit Rage.
Base dodge bonus should be 8%: 3% Dodge feat + 3% Imp Dodge (Tempest) + 2% Uncanny Dodge. If I had more APs to spare, I would max out Uncanny Dodger (OS) for another 3%. Still, with a +10% Dodge item and Mobility item, you should have 20% Dodge, which happens to be about what you can get from FBDH.
EDIT: for a more balanced rgr, see EllisDee37's Tempest Trapmonkey. Though obviously, with a barb instead of rog splash, you won't have trap skills, so you'll need to tweak things a bit.
