I am thinking about making an experimental gwf and need advice. I plan on making a human sentinel gwf, utilizing the new bronzewood weapon for aggro and acolyte of kelemvor for 10% damage reduction and lifesteal buff. My goal is to try to replace gf :P. Note that a lot of the defense feats were chosen to try to synergize with very high defense of titan set, high damage reduction from titan set bonus and with acolyte of kelemvor. Most of the encounters were chosen with threat generation in mind, and can trigger the bronzewood enchantment mark, and the At-wills/slam will be relied upon for threat generation.
Start with 16 str, 18 con, 12 dex, then pump everything into con and dex every ten levels.
Passives: Bravery and feated Weapon Master.
At-wills: Sure strike and weapon master's strike.
Encounters: Daring shout, Come and get it, and Not So Fast/Indomitable Battle Strike (can't decide).
Dailies: feated Slam for damage reduction and feated Spinning Strike for damage.
Armor: Full Titan's set, likely with normal soulforge but am open to any ideas.
Weapon: Ancient set, greater or perfect bronzewood enchantment. For some reason people keep saying on forum it doesn't stack with ARP, but before my GF was defeated by the arcane reservoir his greater bronzewood seemed to give a flat damage increase when fighting target dummies.
Jewelry: Hrimnir set because I like +60 movement.
Belt: Thickgristle for hp and regen, or belt of sildeyur for more balanced and useful stats.
Utility slots: Dark enchantments
Defense slots: Lifesteal, but maybe +hp instead, would be funny to have more hp than GF, and wouldn't be that bad since kelemvor pet should give a lot of lifesteal.
Offense slots: Critical strike.
Great Weapon Focus feat is one that I really want but can't seem to make room for it, and if anyone thinks its better than the other paragon feats please tell me. I see that low recovery may be a very serious problem, but my rationale was this build is very short on stats since not using stone/cat, and since my gwf friend tells me student of the sword is essential, I should try to stack up some critical strike instead. I have been thinking about dropping critical strike entirely, and if it is feasible it would make choices easier and I might choose str+con instead of con+dex, but again my friend keeps telling me SOTS is essential.

STR/DEX GWF Destroyer + 1500 LifeSteal. You just replaced a GF
Something like this: http://nwcalc.com/gwf?b=cn4:2hwcg:5m9s,1xck02i:60000:buu51:b0u00&h=0
