[Build Help/Optimization] Building a Tanky Support Character

[DurionArcanis]

Starting level is 4, and I'm liking the Oradin (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?240709-Pathfinder-Building-a-Healer) build. The party has a rogue, a witch striker/healer, a brawler, and a 4th who's probably going to be a ranged striker. I'm wanting something that can both buff and heal flexibly and can take alot of hits.

(note, I avoid Clerics, mostly due to being stereotypically T1 even when badly made)

Any suggestions or ideas anyone has to add to the build I linked?

If third-party is an option, a few levels of Warder (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/path-of-war/classes/warder) would give you mucho hitpoints and some great tanking abilities.

Dunno about 3pp but Dreamscarred Press is often accepted, I'll check it with the GM though at least.

PS: Got approved to bring over the Spinning Sword from 3.5 (secrets of sarlona) so I'm probably going with spear and spinning sword + shield for weapons at least at first. I'll hang on to the spinning sword as a backup for a while at least.
