Okay, I'm working on a gish build for a new-ish campaign. We're starting at level 6, so I can have some early levels that don't work too well. I'm interested in playing a dwarf with a draconic theme, specifically earth and fire based elemental powers. Here's the build I've got so far; I'll update it every few hours as it gets more fleshed out.
Warning: My op-fu is...minimal at best, and I occasionally miss really obvious things. I expect at least 1 massive mistake in this build.

4 Stances Known (Discounting bonus stances)
If I could, I'd like to get the JPM and the Deepstone Sentinel capstones in the same build, but that's impossible as far as I can tell. Obviously, I can swap levels around to get the JPM capstone instead of the Deepstone Sentinel capstone; that's not set in stone, so to speak.
Suggestions for feats, other PrCs, spells, and whatnot are more than welcome. Suggestions such as "play a cleric," or "play a {fullcaster}" are not- I'm playing an arcane gish, preferably with initiator levels, focused on Stone Dragon strikes and fiery casting. If there's a way to get more earth-based casting and focus on the Desert Wind discipline, I'd be open to that.
Sidenote- I've received special dispensation from the DM for Runesmith's ability to allow spontaneous casting. The fluff is that I scribe generic, powerful runes and draw the spell's structure from them.
