sorry still adjusting, i assumed that the spike chain was a double weapon, but they don't exist- makes me wonder how the valenar double-scimitar will work?- some maybe a fighter in light armor...
However, as Spiked Chain is a superior weapon, I would limit the feat to giving proficiency with it only (however, you would still get the +2 to damage).
That said, I think you could fit the spiked chain fighter into a few classes and the application of said combatant would differ depending on the class and class roll. Ilke you could have a fighter or paladin based spiked chain fighter that are more about defending, or a warlord who is all about control of the field through tactics.
With just a tiny bit of re-flavoring you can do just about anything with 4th edition.
oh and Nerdicus, awesome name and the darguuls rock! They're the only group that could pose a threat to Valenar.

DOUBLE WEAPONS
Wielding a double weapon is like wielding a weapon
in each hand. The first die given in the damage column
of the table for a double weapon is for the primary (or
main) end of the weapon; the second damage die is for
the secondary (or off-hand) end. You can use either end
of a double weapon to deliver an attack unless a power
specifies a main or off-hand weapon attack.
An enchanted double weapon receives an enhancement
bonus on both ends, but weapon properties or
powers conferred by the enchantment affect only the
primary end of the weapon.
Like two-handed weapons, double weapons cannot
normally be wielded by Small creatures unless the
weapon has the small property.
also they have the defensive property which gives them a +1 to your AC
