Fatespinner 4 is pretty good. Divine Oracle 4 is another decent choice.

Why is fatespinner considered a good class? I never understood that. What about divine oracle?

By giving up nothing except a few skillpoints in Profession (Gambler), you can increase the DC of a critical spell by 4, and then force your enemy to reroll his saving throw against that spell.

Plus other neat stuff.

Anything that fully progresses your spellcasting and grants additional special abilities on top of that is good. Divine Oracle gives you Evasion and Uncanny Dodge along with a few other things. Fatespinner is good because rerolling a failed save, or forcing an enemy to reroll a successful save, even if only usable 1/day is extremely good, plus it gets the DC boosting effects.

Another 4-level dip to look at is Incantatrix from PGtF, you can use the Otyugh Hole detailed in Complete Scoundrel to get the Iron Will prerequisite without spending a feat on it.
