I am trying to find help in settiong up a fighter to go Kensai when it comes avaliable. Seeing if anyone knows the proper build for it with the max possible dps.

do you have 32 point builds? And do you care at all about ac?

Go WF, it's undoubtely the best choice for a pure kensai fighter.

Start with these stats:
18
15
14
8
10
6

If you don't have a +2 dex tome, lower wisdom to 8 and up dex to 16.

Feats:
1. Luck of Heroes.
1 (Fighter). Weapon Focus: Slashing
2 (Fighter). Khopesh
3. Iron Will
4 (Fighter). Weapon Specialization: Slashing
6. Two Weapon Fighting
6 (Fighter). Improved Two Weapon Fighting.
8 (Fighter). Improved Critical: Slashing.
9. Power Attack
10 (Fighter). Greater Weapon Focus: Slashing
12. Greater Weapon Specialization: Slashing
12 (Fighter). Greater Two Weapon Fighting.
14 (Fighter). Oversized Two Weapon Fighting
15. Toughness
16 (Fighter). Quickdraw
18. Lightning Reflexes
18 (Fighter). Superior Weapon Focus: Slashing
20 (Fighter). Stunning Blow.

Enhancements:
Enhancement: Fighter Haste Boost IV
Enhancement: Fighter Extra Action Boost II
Enhancement: Fighter Strategy Stunning Blow I
Enhancement: Fighter Strenght III
Enhancement: Fighter Toughness II
Enhancement: Warforged Toughness I
Enhancement: Warforged Healers Friend I

+ all kensai enhancements and both weapon specalization enhancements.

Stunning blow and the 3 APs used for higher DC is highly optional, but I recommend you atleast try it. It's a nice feat.

other than 1 3 16 and 18 this looks pretty decent.

Quickdraw is a must have. The save feats are very good on a fighter, far better than another toughness for example.

Could go dodge / mobility / spring attack instead of the save feats. But that's 3 ref and 3 will save and 1 fort save down the drain.
And 4 moving to hit wont really make that much of a difference on a pure fighter, they'll have amazing to hit anyways.

Since w/p despite rumors works almost as well on beta as live he could also take improved crit pierce as useing a w/p rapier without it is like shooting yourself in the foot.

And why does he need this as a "must have"?
Quick Draw
Usage: Passive
You can draw and fire throwing weapons more rapidly.
