Namely I am a fighter who keeps getting blinded, dazed, or stunned, so I can not take OA, so I am not really doing my job. Thanks for any help!
Purchase gear that allows you a bonus to your saves or allow you to re-roll saving throws. Look for them in the PHB or the AV, at Paragon you should have more than enough cash to invest.
Do you have any recommendations? I have seen a couple but suspect I am missing a few. Thank you!

The problem with that approach is that if you're rolling a save, you've likely already spent a round under the status effect. Increasing your defenses so as to avoid being affected in the first place is a more effective method than being adept at removing existing effects, but there's no reason you can't do both.

My defenses are pretty decent. I only have a +2 cloak which could go to +3, but they are
AC 28
Fort 23
Ref 21
Will 21
Aside from the already mentioned cloak increase, how can I increase my defenses? I was looking at possibly taking Iron Will or Lightning Reflexes before Armor specialization. Any other suggestions? For reference my stats are
Str 19
Con 15
Dex 16
Int 9
Wis 19
Cha 11
By the way, note that your combat superiority feature is not an Opportunity Attack and is not affected by any conditions that hinder those, though you may still face a few penalties (blind means your target has superior cover, so you've got a -5 on your attack).
What does your party consist of? Warlords and other leader characters may have a few powers that either make your saves easier or even allow saves outside of your turn, essentially negating the condition completely.
We have a cleric who does have Sacred Flame, but I seem to have terrible luck making those saves. Last week I needed to make 4 saves and failed 13 times before making them.

Was Combat Superiority errataed or is there something I am missing? It is a bonus to an opportunity attack, so it would seem that I can't do it while blinded, stunned, dazed, etc.
It wasn't. Referencing Combat Challenge would have been more appropriate... well, everything that's marked and that tries to shift away from you still gets a parting attack from you assuming you're capable of attacking (blind works, stun IIRC doesn't).
I am pretty sure you do not get OA when blind. Can someone confirm or deny please? Thanks.

I can confirm that - the status effect explicitly says you don't get them. However, the attack from Combat Challenge is not an OA, but a Basic Attack performed as an Immediate Interrupt.
