This is a build I came up with today; the idea for the build sprang forth after I read about the "Throw Your Weight Around" enhancement that Dwarves get.
The basic idea for the build is to swing that ol' Great Axe while staying centered and using Con to get much HP and damage.
There is a lot of synergy in the build; you get lots of damage/to hit enhancements from Dwarf and Kensei trees + your crit multiplier should be around 7 (with LD).
With some gear you should probably be able to hit Dodge 30% and that combined with Shadow Veil and a Displacement clickie makes for OK survivability.
I took Magical Training (the build has plenty of Feats), so that means that you can cast Cocoon endlessly. Maxed UMD and Path of Light also helps out with self healing.
(Other suggested Twists are Unearthly Reflexes and maybe A Dance of Flowers.)
As mentioned earlier, the build gets lots of Feats, so I decided that the Dragonmark of Warding might be an asset when you get Radiant Forcefield, Spell Resistance and Hands of Stone, which should work nicely with a maxed out Con.
HP shouldn't be an issue with max Con + Epic Toughness + Grandmaster of Rock('n'Roll) etc.
12 levels of Monk yields us Abundant Step, Fast Movement and Improved Evasion. 8 Fighter is self explanatory.

There is still room for improvement; this is just a 34 pt variant with one +5 Tome.
If one were to make a 36 pt build with at least two +5 Tomes stats could look something like
Str 18 (+5 Tome)
Dex 12 (+5 Tome)
Con 20 (All Raises)
Int 8
Wis 8
Cha 6
...and in that way Manyshot could maybe be integrated into the build.
Constructive criticism, comments and ideas are welcome.

Looks solid enough.
Being a 34 point build, would you consider changing up the stats a little? I know Con is your strong stat, but 6 build points on a 34 lifer is huge. How about dropping it to 18 so that you could either bump up cha(for UMD) or int for more skills(like heal). Also, you only need 16 str with +5 tome to get OC. You could drop it down and bump some of the other stats even more.
Just some food for thought.Bhask the Unseen 21 Rog(tr 3), Tangoh 15 Barb(tr life 3),Domand d'Jorasco 18/2(tr4 )sorc/paly BF, Nilock 20(tr life 3), Domandi 20/8 1st life shuriken thrower.

Some good ideas there. How easy is it now-a-days to get high enough UMD for Heal Scrolls and whatnot with all the new Epic gear?
According to Wiki prereqs for OC are:
"Prerequisite: Great Cleave, Improved Critical: (Bludgeoning or Piercing or Slashing or Ranged or Thrown), Strength 23+"
So; 17 Base + 5 Tome + 1 Raise = 23 Str
Will think about dropping a few points from Con.

Improvements
After messing around with a gimp version (no tomes) of this build on Lama-land, I came the conclusion that it would probably be best to drop the Dragonmark.
Any replacement Feat suggestions? Also thought about dropping Fists of Iron because I already had a ton of other things to click. Good idea?
Highest crits I got on Lama-land were over 1,1k, so DPS is ok I guess. Not sure about survivability though, but I have mostly been playing self-healing chars so maybe I shouldn't expect the healing capabilitiy of a pure FvS...
