[Saekee]

It would work but it does not really take advantage of the weaponization of ninja tree--sting works only on weapons, not wraps, and has great synergy with venomed blades.
A pure drow ninja can max dex to a high number and use the drow tree's venomed blades with sting aling with the synergy with the capstone's buff to shortswords. If you add IC slashing, the brush hooks offer 13-20/2 plus vorpal for rapid incrementation of sting.

If you mix rogue, check out build in my sig for a nice synergy. You can modify it to suit your playstyle.

[Enderoc]

I was focusing primarily on the stunning fist so I would have to drop that then. I also want improved martial arts. So maybe 12 monk, 6 rogue, 2 Fighter?

[Enderoc]

OK how about this? I changed from Dark to Light as I believe the DCs would be too low on the finishers.

Hi--I see you do not have GTWF--can you rework it to have it by level 15? Mobility is not needed and insightful reflexes is used only by INT builds.
IC: bludgeon--am on iphone but was that in there?
A nice option is to go the whirlwind route since it works well with wraps. In this case you would keep mobility but swap out the PA cleave line for combat expertise-->whirlwind.
In the end though you are not making a stealthy ninja either way--this will be a shintao in earth stance.

[Enderoc]

Oops it was getting late. At first I was going to go harper tree but changed my mind. That is why I took insightful reflex. But yeah the whole premise at first was to get the SA from Ninja tree to amplify the damage from the stun really. I was thinking of adding in Improved deception as an added effect from Harper initially.
