On reflection I think I would take a Dwarven WarAxe (just for looks) as the weapon speciality for this character. Damage is 1d10+12 (+2d6 on Criticals).

Also there was a typo in the original, the AB is 41 not 42 (42 when in stance however).

If you want you could work in DevCrit (i'm personally not a fan of it); take Overwhelming Crit instead of epic prowess, and take Dev Crit at 37. It's a pretty strong build. Lots of good Dwarven builds recently. Having a hard time deciding on one cause I've been bethumped with so many of them as of late. Good job.
