I'm bringing in a new character to a campaign in progress, character level 17.  I know the race and class I want to use, but I'm having a -little- trouble deciding on a combat style/method. The class is pulled from a thread elsewhere on these boards prior to the release of 4ed- the thread is still lurking around somewhere, but the class is no longer on the thread- I presume the creator pulled it to edit the class and never got around to re-posting it into the thread.  The class in question is the Tenshi, a curious sort of barbarian/paladin hybrid with some other altered features unique to it. The relevant info is this: The class gets flight with class progression, and this flight grants a fairly high move speed.  The proficiencies of the class allow for light and medium armor and regular shields, and granted a special bastard sword as well as the exotic proficiency to allow one-handed use of a bastard sword.  As the Tenshi gains levels, they become able to imbue +2 equivalent enchantments into the sword on a temporary basis, and the ability to wield the bastard sword as a weapon one category lighter (reducing it from one-handed to light at the wielder's option).  There's an additional splash of fire damage boosted by the Charisma modifier whenever the Tenshi strikes an enemy with the granted Bastard Sword, and they can 'rage' three times per day for (class level) rounds- except that instead of raging, they become a Celestial Creature and apply half their Charisma modifier as a bonus to their defenses (resistance for saves, deflection for AC). The class -does- also gain the Smite Evil ability just like a Paladin. Given that I'm working with 5 feats (having used one to replace the Wisdom bonus to Will saves with a Charisma bonus to Will saves) and running around with Strength probably in the 18-20 range and Charisma at least two points higher, which feats should I be taking to deal good damage in combat?  I'm used to working with Fighter/Prestige hybrids or straight casting classes, so I'm not sure -what- to do with this highly mobile Paladin/Champion Lite With Wings. Advice?

Str- 18 Dex- 14 Con- 14 Int- 11 Wis- 8 Cha- 21 HP total is 212, going to be pumping AC like mad as well.  I can pretty easily finagle a high enough Dex to use Two-Weapon-Fighting, but I'd only get the one off-hand attack, so I'm not sure how worthwhile that is or not.
