Don't put skill points into Jump. You'll have the spell and will be just fine with that. Better to put it into Spellcraft or Heal.
Drop the spell focus Necro line. You are only 12 wiz and dumped INt anyway, given that your DC's particularly un epic is never going to land much anyway. So you are basically taking 3 feats to help the DC's on something that is never going to be high enough to make a difference anyway.
Take other feats, particuarly the cleave line earlier. The TWF line would help with double strike.
With low/no DC's your want to focus your casting on buffing and AOE/Dot's rather than straight damage spells with saves that monsters will generally always make.
This is what I came up with for all of the changes. I realized I needed the first ability upgrade into dex if I were to not buy a tome. Any other suggestions on the build I am open to but I feel pretty good about this build. It has Grandmaster forms and GTWF with great cleave. I like the more melee focus with aoe spells. It was a helpful push towards fixing my guy.
