Well, your 2 lives give you +2 to int skills and UMD. That argues for a rogue splash. Some options:
Ranger-18/rogue-1/fighter-1 This is a solid ranger with trapping, fighter-1 gives you a bonus feat plus a fairly cheap option to get haste boost and extra action boosts. I've played this build, it is a good one.

Ranger-12/cleric-7/rogue-1 Excellent all-around build. Brings decent self-healing plus FOM and Death ward to the party. Rocks in divine crusader ED. Warpriest synergy with tempest is STRONG. AM strike plus consecrated ground will mostly keep you up, you only need to bluebar heal a little
