In your enhancement list, I count 88 points. 8 too many. With only 80 points available at cap, what will you get rid of? If it was me, I would dump fighter attack boost IV and Crit Acc. IV. That is 8 points and not required for Kensei. That will shave you back down to 80.
Only other thing I see is a lot of toughness. I guess if there is nothing else that looks interesting as a feat, more HP is at least a functional choice. I would however take a loot at other options.

ya **** math on my part XD however i did drop fighter atk 4 and crit 4 because they are not required for kensai anymore. And i dont have fighter armor mastery i just use daggertooth for that. And i traded one toughness for quikdraw. I had stunning blow and sap for a while but i dont like em much.

OP: Good deal. Stunning Blow and Quick Draw are great choices to replace 40 HP through 2 toughness feats. As for Sap, I totally agree. Not that great.
Other then that, it is a strong vanilla melee build. I noticed you stated that your AC is not that great but personally, if you are killing mobs fast, that is no big deal. +64 dmg at a min. is decent dmg at the start. Nothing wrong with 200 point crits either on a 18-20 with a GA.
Also, gear setup, take a look at the Kensei sets in the new ToD raid. They might be something you want to put in there replacing other gear.

I think the AC might be a total waste here since with:
Chattering (3)
Chaos (2)
Insight on DT (4)
Daggertooth Belt (2)
and making one of your greensteel items also have your protection (5)
that's a lot of more or less specialized, some of it rare loot for 16 ac (or one/third of your beholder armor class of 48, which isn't much at all, considering you intend to be tanking). Not to mention that not only does some of the gear happen to be not a huge boost to the ac, it prevent equipping something incredibly more useful like...a con 6/GFL belt from the new area.
I would recommend changing some ability scores. You're failing most any will save, and the 4 points in charisma aren't doing anything that I can tell aside from giving a low umd and a mediocre intimidate core 2 points. Where as by taking into to 8 and charisma to 6 you could...take that 14 con and make it 18, use two toughness feats for something else....
I'd really consider guards only since even when stars align you will be getting hit hard in most end-game situations.
Also....5 +4 tomes? I intend to run my characters a lot to, but will you really be getting 100 completions on Tower with that guy? Plus you BETTER get boots, with a 4 (ability) +4 gh +6 (level 20 fighter) +2 racial bonus against spells = 16 will save against Horoth, well it might nto work well.

I started with a base 10 CHR. To get that CHR score i droped my CON from 16 to 14 (only extra 20 hp end game). This toon is not wearing Minos so to balance it out i took 3 extra toughness feats. I changed 1 of those toughness to Quikdraw and now my toon has 2 extra. There are no other feats i require besides STHW and i will pick that up as soon as it is available .
My helm will be concoordant oppostion, blindness/diseas immunity, and +3 ability +3 exeptional to my will save. my will save will be 6 fighter, 5 resist, 3 exeptional, 1 ritual, 2 dwarf, 2 ability. 19 total. I may trade another toughness for Iron will in the future, personal i dont need it anywhere besides pvp atm so the toughness will stay inplace of minos.
The +4 tomes are only there so you can see what he is maxed out . Why would i want to max him out before i grind for the best tomes? thats when the game gets boring.
I traded con for umd because of the following.
If i started with 6 CHR my umd would be
(with a +4 chr tome i want to grind for it)
3 ability
3 Skill focus
2 head of good fortune
7 7 fingured gloves
11 rank
4 GH
6 Shroud
TOTAL 36 I hate wasting shield wands and heal/rez scrolles
Ferget the rest of the math your not stupid. With 10 base CHR my umd check is 38 100% instead of 90%
I sacraficed my will till i get a +4 tome and 21 base is pretty good for a fighter. Ill trade another toughness for Iron will if i like the way concoordant opp works out for a base of 23 :wink:
Edit: Im giving up ac for gaurds "when i have my axe out". Im making my garde radiance and my belt freezing ice gaurd. My gloves will probably be disintagration... This is the last toon im ever running... well im making a defender but this is the last toon im running XD.
