DPS : Epic Ready
There are builds out there with higher dps. Many of those builds can use very easy to get weapons. Personally, when I really need dps in most epic quests I have another character to play. However, this build will keep up on epic. You will be able to stay on top of kills now and then. You will be able to smite for well over 1k damage. A fully equipped DoS can still out dps a poorly equipped pure dps build. Just don't forget to keep an abundant supply of zeal, prayer, divine favor, and divine might. Extend is great for this if you can fit it.

Feats
1(human) - Shield Mastery
1 - Power Attack or Precision
3 - Toughness
6 - Improved Shield Bash
9 - Extend or Empower Healing
12 - Improved Shield Mastery
15 - Combat Expertise
18 - Dragonmark of the sentinel 1
Epic: Choose any (Dragonmarks, Metamagics, Tower Shield, Bulwark, IC:S, Cleave, etc...)

On IC:S
- When both the fang and the Balizarde are keen and the Balizarde will out dps a 2H... there is very little sense in keeping it around.

On Dragonmark
- Still keep one for fang and intim bonus. Hoping for the proposed enhancement change to level up to sentinel 3 without feats.

Twist of Fate
Dirge --- nice passive defensive bonus
Energy Sheath --- good compliment to PRR
Cacoon + Empower Healing --- Self sufficient healing for nearly every quest and raid
Cleave + Momentum Swing --- AoE aggro managment and extra dps

Skills
Intimidate MAX
Balance MAX
Concentration MAX
Tumble 1
UMD 1

Enhancements
DoS - Lots of lots of AP here
Capstone
Human Versatility IV
Exalted Smite I - Need to save some AP for damage boost if human
Divine Sacrifice I
Divine Might III
Max AC and Intimidate
Divine Righteousness - Swap out when your dps/hate is good enough

The few remaining points can be used as desired depending on race. Healing amp and toughness should be high on the list.
