Abilities:

Turn Outsider: The banisher may turn outsiders at his caster level, using int instead of char. If the banisher double the HD of the outsider in question, it is banished instead of rebuked.

Abujurant Focus: At second level the DC of all abjuration school spells cast by the banisher increases by +1. At fifth level this rises to +2, and at eight to +3.

Abjurant Penetration: The Banisher gets this bonus to caster level checks to beat SR using abjuration school spells.

Extra Abjuration: The Banisher gets an extra slot of each spell level he can cast which must be used to prepare a spell from the abjuration school.

Versatile Banishing: The banisher may affect creatures other than outsiders with abjuration spells that only target outsiders, and may banish creatures to planes not their native planes (the native plane of a non-outsider is determined by their alignment). A non-outsider gets +4 on saves to resist these spells, and creatures get +4 to resist spells that banish them to planes not their own. These stack.

World of Ending: With a single word (counts as a quickened spell) the banisher may Banish up to 3 HD of creatures per caster level (as per the spell Banish) and target all magical effects in a hundred foot radius with a dispel magic (no maximum bonus). The Banisher may use this ability once per day. For saves, this counts as a 10th level spell of the abjuration school.

Epic Banishers: Every 5 levels after eighth the abjurant focus goes up by +1, and ever 5 levels after 9th the penetration goes up by one. At 20th level, all save bonuses from versatile banishing are halved, and at 30th level word of banishing counts as a 15th level spell and banishes 4 HD per caster level.

Sweet and simple, I like it.
I'ld add Forbidden School: Conjuration at first level, because he can't know any Conjuration Spells at the moment of taking the class, but nothing so far prevents him from taking them when he becomes a banisher.
