I'm looking for feats to feed my fighter (human) to make him a battlefield control specialist with emphasis on brutally manhandling his opponants to wherever he wants them and, ideally, also be quite the damage-dealer.

So far I have the following:
Power Attack, Improved Bull Rush, Improved Sunder (for Combat Brute)
Jotunbrud (RoF)
Cometary Collision (PHBII)

I will also be taking both the Combat Brute and Shock Trooper feats from Complete Warrior and am considering taking the new chain feats for weapon specialists but haven't decided on a proper 2 hander to use it with. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I hate to state the obvious, but the spiked chain is about as good as you can get for battlefield control...barring that, there's a polearm you can trip with...not bad, with Short Haft...other than that...hmmm...greatsword or one of those gawdawful exotics with crazy crits...

Your probably going to want Combat Reflexes as well. Since you want to control the field, it'll suck if they get away during their turn and with Improve Trip that will stop them in their tracks.
