I have been working on a versatile(aiming for a Tier 3 build) yet consistent(limited reliance on limited/restricted use abilities like Psionics or Maneuvers) warrior build. I have 3 questions:
1) How can this build be further improved? Including fine tweaks.
1a) Would it work better with Whirling Frenzy or Ferocity instead of Mountain Rage?
1b) Would it work better with Listen/Spot or Listen/Search instead of Search/Spot?
2) [related] What areas is this build deficient in/gets too late?
3) Where could this build go next(after 9th level)?

ECL 2:Goliath Barbarian 1-(Mountain Rage, Pounce)(Combat Reflexes, Exotic Weapon Proficiency Spiked Chain, Extra Rage)(Draconic Aspect:Glide, Powerful Build)

Knock-down
Whenever you deal 10 or more points of damage to your opponent in melee, you make a trip attack as a free action against the same target.
Imperious Command
If you successfully demoralize a foe in combat, the foe cowers in fear for 1 round and is shaken in the following round.
Never Outnumbered[Skill Trick](1/encounter)
When you use Intimidate to demoralize an opponent (PH 76), you can affect all enemies within 10 feet that can see you, rather than only a single enemy you threaten. Each enemy rolls a separate modified level check to oppose your Intimidate check, but the skill check otherwise works as normal.
Knockback
If you score a hit while you are using the Power Attack feat, you can make a free bull rush attempt against the foe you hit, applying the number by which you reduced your attack roll as a bonus on the opposed Strength check (as well as on the damage you deal). If you hit with a two handed weapon, you can apply double that number on the opposed Strength check. Unlike standard bull rush attempts, knockback attempts don't provoke attacks of opportunity, and you don't move with the enemy you knock backward. Bull rush rules can be found on page 154 of the Player's Handbook.
Staggering Strike
If you deal damage with a melee sneak attack, you can also deliver a wound that limits your foe's mobility. For 1 round (or until the target is the beneficiary of a DC 15 Heal check or any magical healing that restores at least 1 hit point, whichever comes first), your target is treated as if it were staggered, even if its nonlethal damage doesn't exactly equal its current hit points. A target can resist this effect by making a successful Fortitude save (DC equal to damage dealt). Multiple staggering strikes on the same creature do not stack. This feat has no effect on creatures not subject to sneak attack damage.
Healing Belt[750]
While wearing a healing belt, you gain a +2 competence bonus on Heal checks. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation. In addition, the belt has 3 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Spending 1 or more charges allows you to channel positive energy and heal damage with a touch. (You can also use this ability to harm undead, dealing them an equiva- lent amount of damage instead.) 1 charge: Heals 2d8 points of damage. 2 charges: Heals 3d8 points of damage. 3 charges: Heals 4d8 points of damage.
Scout’s Headband[3.4K]
A scout’s headband grants you a +2 competence bonus on Spot checks. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation. In addition, this circlet has 3 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Spending 1 or more charges enhances your visual acuity as described below.
1 charge: You gain darkvision out to 60 feet for 1 hour.
2 charges: You can see invisible creatures and objects (as see invisibility) for 10 minutes.
3 charges: You gain true seeing (as the spell) for 1 minute
Fearsome Armor Enhancement[+5K]
Fearsome armor functions as if it has armor spikes (PH 124) if the armor doesn’t have this feature already. In addition, when wearing this armor, you gain a +5 enhancement bonus on Intimidate checks, and you can demoralize opponents (PH 76) as a move action instead of a standard action.
Third Eye Freedom[2.6K]
You can activate a third eye freedom to trigger a freedom of movement effect lasting for 1 round. Since this ability suppresses only the effect hindering your movement, you must either find some other method of removing or eliminating the effect, or it will resume after the duration ends. This ability functions once per day.
Boots of the Mountain King[1.5K]
These boots allow you to ignore increased movement costs and skill check DC increases for light and dense rubble. In addition, you can move up stairs and slopes at normal speed and run or charge downhill without making a Balance check (DMG 89). These boots require no activation.
Dispelling Weapon Enhancement[+1]
When you strike a creature or object with a dispelling weapon, you can activate it to target that creature or object with a targeted dispel magic effect (caster level 5). A dispelling weapon functions three times per day.
Third Eye Clarity[3K]
You can activate this crystal to negate any one of the following conditions affect- ing you: confused, dazed, fascinated, or stunned. You can activate the eye in response to an effect that would impose one of these conditions (for instance, after failing your save against a monk’s Stunning Fist attack but before the stun takes effect). This ability functions once per day.
Death Ward Armor Enhancement[+1]
Armor and shields that have this property are favored by those dedicated to fighting the foul art of necromancy. While wearing or using death ward armor or a death ward shield, you can activate the armor to ignore any death effect (including death spells, magical death effects, and energy drain) or negative energy effect (such as inflict spells or chill touch). The death ward property functions once per day.
Handy Haversack[2K]
A backpack of this sort appears to be well made, well used, and quite ordinary. It is constructed of finely tanned leather, and the straps have brass hardware and buckles. It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds.
While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power in addition. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a move action, but it does not provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does.
1) How can this build be further improved? Including fine tweaks.
1a) Would it work better with Whirling Frenzy or Ferocity instead of Mountain Rage?
1b) Would it work better with Listen/Spot or Listen/Search instead of Search/Spot?
2) [related] What areas is this build deficient in/gets too late?
3) Where could this build go next(after 9th level)?

Knock-down
Whenever you deal 10 or more points of damage to your opponent in melee, you make a trip attack as a free action against the same target.
Imperious Command
If you successfully demoralize a foe in combat, the foe cowers in fear for 1 round and is shaken in the following round.
Never Outnumbered[Skill Trick](1/encounter)
When you use Intimidate to demoralize an opponent (PH 76), you can affect all enemies within 10 feet that can see you, rather than only a single enemy you threaten. Each enemy rolls a separate modified level check to oppose your Intimidate check, but the skill check otherwise works as normal.
Knockback
If you score a hit while you are using the Power Attack feat, you can make a free bull rush attempt against the foe you hit, applying the number by which you reduced your attack roll as a bonus on the opposed Strength check (as well as on the damage you deal). If you hit with a two handed weapon, you can apply double that number on the opposed Strength check. Unlike standard bull rush attempts, knockback attempts don't provoke attacks of opportunity, and you don't move with the enemy you knock backward. Bull rush rules can be found on page 154 of the Player's Handbook.
Staggering Strike
If you deal damage with a melee sneak attack, you can also deliver a wound that limits your foe's mobility. For 1 round (or until the target is the beneficiary of a DC 15 Heal check or any magical healing that restores at least 1 hit point, whichever comes first), your target is treated as if it were staggered, even if its nonlethal damage doesn't exactly equal its current hit points. A target can resist this effect by making a successful Fortitude save (DC equal to damage dealt). Multiple staggering strikes on the same creature do not stack. This feat has no effect on creatures not subject to sneak attack damage.
Healing Belt[750]
While wearing a healing belt, you gain a +2 competence bonus on Heal checks. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation. In addition, the belt has 3 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Spending 1 or more charges allows you to channel positive energy and heal damage with a touch. (You can also use this ability to harm undead, dealing them an equiva- lent amount of damage instead.) 1 charge: Heals 2d8 points of damage. 2 charges: Heals 3d8 points of damage. 3 charges: Heals 4d8 points of damage.
Scout’s Headband[3.4K]
A scout’s headband grants you a +2 competence bonus on Spot checks. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation. In addition, this circlet has 3 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Spending 1 or more charges enhances your visual acuity as described below.
1 charge: You gain darkvision out to 60 feet for 1 hour.
2 charges: You can see invisible creatures and objects (as see invisibility) for 10 minutes.
3 charges: You gain true seeing (as the spell) for 1 minute
Fearsome Armor Enhancement[+5K]
Fearsome armor functions as if it has armor spikes (PH 124) if the armor doesn’t have this feature already. In addition, when wearing this armor, you gain a +5 enhancement bonus on Intimidate checks, and you can demoralize opponents (PH 76) as a move action instead of a standard action.
Third Eye Freedom[2.6K]
You can activate a third eye freedom to trigger a freedom of movement effect lasting for 1 round. Since this ability suppresses only the effect hindering your movement, you must either find some other method of removing or eliminating the effect, or it will resume after the duration ends. This ability functions once per day.
Boots of the Mountain King[1.5K]
These boots allow you to ignore increased movement costs and skill check DC increases for light and dense rubble. In addition, you can move up stairs and slopes at normal speed and run or charge downhill without making a Balance check (DMG 89). These boots require no activation.
Dispelling Weapon Enhancement[+1]
When you strike a creature or object with a dispelling weapon, you can activate it to target that creature or object with a targeted dispel magic effect (caster level 5). A dispelling weapon functions three times per day.
Third Eye Clarity[3K]
You can activate this crystal to negate any one of the following conditions affect- ing you: confused, dazed, fascinated, or stunned. You can activate the eye in response to an effect that would impose one of these conditions (for instance, after failing your save against a monk’s Stunning Fist attack but before the stun takes effect). This ability functions once per day.
Death Ward Armor Enhancement[+1]
Armor and shields that have this property are favored by those dedicated to fighting the foul art of necromancy. While wearing or using death ward armor or a death ward shield, you can activate the armor to ignore any death effect (including death spells, magical death effects, and energy drain) or negative energy effect (such as inflict spells or chill touch). The death ward property functions once per day.
Handy Haversack[2K]
A backpack of this sort appears to be well made, well used, and quite ordinary. It is constructed of finely tanned leather, and the straps have brass hardware and buckles. It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds.
While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power in addition. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a move action, but it does not provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does.
