Dwarf Paladin 14/Fighter 4/Monk2, US6 - Dwarven Sentinel

This is a concept build at the moment. Started off as an idea mixing Paladin with Dwarven Defender (racial PrE), but since this was pushed back I've reworked it for "just" U14.

I've still got a few holes to work out - particularly the dps numbers in tank mode and a dps gear/ED mode.

Borrowed lot of ED details from the Feithlin's Immortal build, and the double strike ideas firmed up in my head by looked at Wowo's Swashbuckler build.

I'd be keen for some comments.

YUGO:

Defensive (7): Shield Mastery, Improved Shield Mastery, Combat Expertise, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, PL: Barb
Offensive (5): PA, IC:Slash, THF, ITHF, GTHF
Other (2): SF: Intimidate, Stunning Blow

Notes:

• THF/ITHF/GTHF is better than Cleave/GC/OC
• Switch Stunning Blow, Spring Attack or SF: Intimidate for Cleave - in order to get LD abilities?
• eToughness - Not possible: requires Toughness/CON21 and not with PL: Barb
• Improved Sunder - No room.
• Improved Shield Bash - broken at the moment.

Enhancements:
Dwarf - 19AP and maybe 21AP

• Dwarven Axe Damage II (6AP): +2 OH axe dmg, +4 greataxe
• Dwarven Spell Defense III (6AP): +5 (total) saves vs spells
• Improved Intimidate IV (4AP): +4 Intimidate
• Racial Toughness II (3AP): +20HP
• ?? Racial Toughness IV (+7AP): +20HP - better to get CON II (10AP) for +25 HP/+1fort?
• ?? Dwarven Tactics II (6AP): +2 tactics
• ?? Dwarven Shield Mastery III (6AP): +DR/3 for shields - expensive
• ?? Dwarven Armor Mastery I (2AP) - +1MDB - depends on MDB/Dodge

Other - 7AP + maybe 5AP

• Way of the Tenacious Badger I (1AP): +1 intimidate (uncentered?)
• Fighter Strength I (2AP)
• Fighter Toughness II (3AP) - +20HP
• Fighter Haste Boost I (1AP) - +15% dps speed for 20 sec

• Paladin Resistance of Good III: (+3AP) +3 saves
• Paladin Charisma II (6AP): Expensive
• Paladin Divine Might II: (3AP) +4 dmg
• Extra LOH! Smites! - TODO

Total: 57AP + ?? 26AP ?? + LOH/Smites

• Paladin Divine Sacrifice I (1AP) <= Paladin Extra Smite Evil II (3AP) = 4AP
• Paladin Divine Sacrifice II (3AP) <= Paladin Extra Smite Evil III (6AP) = 9AP
• Paladin Divine Sacrifice III (6AP) <= Paladin Extra Smite Evil IV (10AP) = 16AP
• Paladin Exalted Smite I (1AP) <= Paladin Extra Smite Evil II (3AP) = 4AP
• ...
• Paladin Extra Lay on Hands - 1AP/2AP/3AP

Probably go with Divine Sacrifice I and Paladin Exalted Smite I and ELOH+2 for 8AP.
