Dwarf Cleric 10, looking for tips on final build

[Dgephri]

I started this Cleric since the Guild group was starting new toons, and nobody was a cleric.

Really enjoying it, and respec'd enhancements when I read about the RS line.

Then they swapped the Aura with the Burst, and, well, I still like the RS line mainly for the Turn regens on DV, DL, Burst, and others.

Embarrassing, but he is my highest level toon, I don't play more than 2-6 hours a week, but I really enjoy HealBot-ing with the small amount of Melee. I just took the Follower line for Bow since I have the Silver Bow, but no good Longswords.

I am reading the 18C/2F builds and been considering it to improve DPS.

My main Question is at what level should I take the Fighter levels? After I get BB? Or after RSII?

Final issue: I got a Greensteel Heavy Mace from a Gold Coin, but not sure if the DPS issue means I should go Kopesh or Dwarven Axe?

Is there benefit to taking one Fighter, more Cleric, then the last fighter @ 20th?

When taking a splash of another class, it's generally done at lvl 1. You'd begin as a fighter and then switch to cleric when you level up.

Unless you are trying for, say, an Intimicleric (in which case you want Intimidate as a class skill from lvl 1 or 2), you can take a fighter splash pretty much whenever. Although some people would tell you to stay pure cleric and just swallow the non-proficiency penalty; with Divine Power, decent base STR, dwarf enhs to axes, and an axe with a decent to-hit bonus, you ought to still be able to do decent DPS even without martial proficiency. If you have a decent axe, give it a try as you are now - what've you got to lose?

just trying to be thourough here, my 1 level of Fighter gets me:

Defensive Fighter (no big deal)
Martial prof (very nice)
Dwarven Axe prof (free Exotic)
Tower sheild prof (nice for AC)
+1 BAB (Always nice)
+2 Fort (nice too)
10 HPs (+2 over cleric)
1Feat for 1st level Fighter
vs.
losing spell progression (delayed by one level)
potentially losing all three saves depending on the level I do it
8 HPs

I might do it for 14th level since I will finish RS @ 12th, then at 13th I get my first Level 7 spells, it will delay a +1Fort +1 Will by one level, and I still get +1BAB next level of Cleric.
