An interesting build, what gear are you using (i only recognize few specific items)?

And what kind of bonuses to CON and CHA did you apply?
I guess you got CON 20 (starting) + 7 (levels) + 8 (tome) + 39 (gear: Enh, Ins, Qua, Prof) + 5 (Enhancements) = 79, what is behind the missing 28?

Um, both dwarven and Falconry 5% HP enhancements are stated as Quality, so I assumed they should not stack. Do they?
