A gap in the build is concentration; you could forego Listen to run up concentration, which is useful for spells (defensive casting mode) and for resisting taunt in the PvP setting. A human would have no problem adding the 40 added skill points to that skill and could use the added feat to open up the option of all martial weapons (although rapier really is best for the build, in my humble opinion).

I'd appreciate any insight into the build. It looks like more of a PvM upon buildout but could PvP if you had the advantage of preparation. Word of Faith is an effective spell.
