Archetype - Invulnerable Rager

Abilities - 20 point buy, +2 STR/WIS, -2 CHA Oni-Spawn
18 (16+2) STR, 12 DEX, 16 CON, 10 INT, 14 (12+2) WIS, 5 (7-2) CHA.

Don't know how to allocate 5 bonus points from leveling - should I split them between STR and CON or pump STR only?

Racial - Full swap to alternative traits
Skilled -> Fiendish Sprinter (+10 ft to charge/pounce)
Alter Self -> Over-sized limbs (BoF says you can ask GM for it, not to roll)
Fiendish Sorcery -> Prehensile Tail (Retrieving potions as swift)

Rage powers - (2 lvl) Beast Totem, Lesser, (4 lvl) - Reckless Abandon, (6 lvl) - Beast Totem, (8 lvl) - Superstition, (10 lvl) - Beast Totem, Greater, (12 lvl) - Come and Get Me, (14 lvl) - Witch Hunter, (16 lvl) - Spell Sunder, (18 lvl) - Eater of Magic, (20 lvl) - Strength Surge

I'm getting "Come and Get Me" just because everyone says it's good. But I'll only have 2 AoO with "Combat Reflexes" - do you think it'll work?

Feats - (1 lvl) Power Attack, (3 lvl) Raging Vitality, (5 lvl) Reckless Rage, (7 lvl) Horn of the Criosphinx, (9 lvl) Critical Focus, (11 lvl) Combat Reflexes, (13 lvl) Raging Brutality, (15 lvl) Improved Sunder, (17 lvl) Staggering Critical

Combat reflexes are here only because of "Come and Get Me". Still thinking about "Improved Sunder" - do I really need those +2 and no AoO? Can't decide for one more feat - thinking about "Raging Deathblow" to replenish ragerounds, or Improved Initiative, or Will Save?

Traits - (1st) Superior Clutch (+1 DMG for large weapons)

Can't decide the second one - Reactionary, Berserker of the Society? Will save? Never tried anything aside from bonus initiative.

Equipment - Large Falchion with "Keen". Thinking about "Courageous", "Furious", "Impact". "Cord of Stubborn Resolve" for rage-cycling.

I'm not sure about anything - you can see all those questions in every category. I don't know how should I manage powers/feats order and I'm not sure about going critbuild. Any feedback will help, every though will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
