Math Help For Hypothetical Radiant Paladin

[LuKaSu]

I play only a couple hours a week, so it takes forever for me to gain levels. Anyway, seeing the enhancement pass coming, I'm intrigued by the idea of a Human Paladin potentially getting to take Radiant Servant. I know, I know, we don't really know if that will be possible, but hypothetically, it might. And I'd like to fill my last empty char slot with a Paladin. Never played one to high level before. So, for the theoretical Radiant Servant, I'd really like to have Empower Healing and the Extra Turning feats. Because of Paladin's already tight feats, I have two feat-options (to level 20).

Idea #1 Pure Paladin

Human - Toughness
7 Standard Feats
Power Attack
Cleave
Great Cleave
Extra Turning
Empower Healing
IC: Slash
THF

or Idea #2 2 lvl Fighter Splash

(Same as previous, plus)
ITHF
GTHF

I don't want to get rid of Empower Heal or Extra Turning feats. But I'm wondering, DPS-wise, which option would be better. The Paladin Capstone, but only getting THF, or missing the Paladin capstone, but getting the full THF chain.

Could someone with awesome math skills help me determine which would give me a better bang for my buck DPS-wise?

But you get two feats in epic levels and can grab ITHF and GTHF there, no?

Raw DPS-wise the paladin capstone is not universally incredible for THF, but the Good typed damage can be situationally incredible. Between that and the above, I don't see any reason to go 2 fighter splash.

Also, I think you would find that you have plenty of turns without Extra Turning, because as a paladin you have no real use for Radiant Burst and Aura lasts a long time. This is helpful if you are set on Overwhelming Critical, for instance.

Finally, the question is further complicated by your current feat list preventing you from taking Defender of Siberys, which while nominally a tanking stance in many cases works out to better DPS than the nominally DPS PrE of KotC. Further complicating the complications, a fighter splash automatically qualifies you for DoS.

Radiant Servant and Unyielding Sentinel both have Turn regenerating abilities, you will have no need whatsoever for 4 more turns.
