Power Attack /or/ Precision /or/ Monk feat
Fitting power attack in alongside combat expertise and being able to get it at a level that doesn't push I-TWF and G-TWF into epic levels is the issue. I have it down where I can get both, but requires the level 4 ability score purchase to be intelligence (to make CE on time). Tomes are irrelevant, as certain feats must be taken before higher levels while others must be taken when you can get the BAB (which, I think, is silly for monks to have a lower BAB since they're supposed to be very accurate). Dropping wisdom to 16 or 17 would make it work easily, but I have the best gear I can find, and it would end up an odd wisdom amount by level 30, and besides of which, the build is all about high wisdom/DC's.
Dropping power attack frees up adding points into strength, which can be placed into intelligence (to get CE at a low enough level without wasting a level up on it) along with more base dexterity or constitution. But, is power attack worth it? I've heard mostly good things about it, for monk, but would precision or the flat bonus damage from the past life feat be worth the change? Would the impact on damage be noticeable without power attack?
