Help with Paladin Arti build please

[Vermont]

I am planning to try a bladeforged paladin next life and was thinking pali15 / arti5. 36 point build, all +5 tomes, all +4 trapper tomes. I did a SWF arti last life and dps was great, but want to go S&B this time and invest heavy in Vanguard. Taking the arti levels for trapping and battletech line. Leaning towards bastard sword, but Daxe is possible, I have good gear optons for both. From what I have read pure Pali with vanguard cap would be more dps, but I really like having trapping skills and The Arti class ijust seems to go with warforged/bladeforged better than rogue... bit of a flavor build. This will be my first run into epic levels as I understand you have to take bladeforged to 28 ( or so I have read, might be wrong here?). Anyway I am looking for any suggestions, esp on feats and enhancements. I am tight on skills, but with tomes and maxing all the trapping enhancements available in warforged tree and battletech line my numbers are pretty decent. Was thinking PAPPPAPPPAPPPAPPPAPP on leveling order, gets turn undead early and arti lvls spead out for skills, but again if I am missing anything suggestions would be great. Thanks.

How about heavy pick in crusader will be 18-20x5 and you save a feat?
With Overwhelming critical, that is some serious dps.
Just an option if feat starved and is what I am using ATM.
