Went ahead and put this together after taking a long break. Have a human TWF pure sorc that I'm leaving for now until EK gets a capstone that matchs the times and some of the enhancements get looked at. Should go 2 fighter and then 18 sorc picking up all the non dc spells along the way.
This build lets me focus solely on CON and CHA while having high prr, MR, 50% absorbs for 3 of the 4 main damage types and it embraces the sword and shield focus the EK has. My main gripe is that the early levels are going to be boring as I don't find sorc fun until around level 8 and this build has me waiting till 10.I don't start to feel powerful til about 12 but I won' get that feeling till around 14.
I want this to viable up until EH difficulty. I don't feel like grinding for EE but want something to log onto and play around with till warlock comes out. Critiques and discussion appreciated.

Why not go 3ftr for stance.... or even better paladin ? gives access to vanguard, stance, divine grace (cha -> saves) or even 4 levels, to get the 10% movement bonus while in stance (AP might be tight)

The eldritch imbues are a Trap they will drain you sp real fast, also the Eldritch tempest (T5) has a way to high sp cost to be viable.
I currently run an EK in static group (2rog6ftr12wiz) although I would not build it the same again. now with Harmor being viable I think going 1art/4ftr/15wiz) would be better. for a Sorc EK, I theory-crafted a 2mnk4pal14sorc, but again now with the Harmor update I prolly drop the monk levels. Also I took a look at the spells and there are some real nice spells that don't require DC, like the power words..... might want to take a look at those as well !

I have given thought to 3 fighter stance I just run into problems with AP and I don't get my 2nd level 8 spell. I like having searing ray, black dragon bolt and polar ray for my single target and ice storm, acid rain, and fire wall for my aoe damage. With the melee sorcs I've made I usually have equal or higher con then my str. Not having to worry about str is nice as I will still have an ok amount for hit but I won't have to itemize it on my gear. If I neglected con for a cha/str build I would have much poorer HP and fortitude for nasty fort spells. It is a great benefit for me when I only have to rely on Con and Cha for all my saves, damage and HP.
With the Sorcerers high sp imbue and cleaves aren't usually a problem especially later on when spells are more sustained filler between my melee attacks. Not having to spend sp on Tenser's helps with that. Considering how much I spam Haste being Perma hasted may be better than one of my feats. Then again extend makes some fairly long buff times.
I actually forgot all about paladin. I'll have to check them out again.
