So I'm the only one at my table who knows how to optimize at all thus I picked a crap class with little support, the battle dancer from the Dragon Compendium. The lack of handbook for this class (which doesn't surprise me) has made me desperate for helping out with options for a battle dancer. I already have a few ideas of what would be optimal (although my DM would have my head on a pike for Warshaper). Here's the road map for what I have planned so far:
1) Taking at least eleven levels of battle dancer for pounce. I have already thought about a dip into Barbarian, but it doesn't have the character at all.
2) I don't want to take any levels of binder or Totemist. I am not comfortable using them yet (although I love Paimon.)
3) I want to take at least one level of Thief-Acrobat for fluff reasons, which means a dip into something (thinking about a two-level of Feat Rogue.)
4) No Tome of Battle. I use ToB too much because it's fun and balanced. And that's cheating.
5) I am a Tanuki Hengeyokai, because I actually have a picture of her drawn by a friend.
And the circumstances:
1) Level five.
2) Any WotC-approved books are allowed, but Dragon Magazines aren't.
2a) That means setting-specific material too.
