Spear-Wielding Bulldozer

[Matrota]

For an upcoming 3.5e campaign I've been working for a while to create a character who likes to do a lot of bullrushing and throwing people around. The objective is not only to break enemy formations, but also deny full attacks unless a target has pounce. I believe I have a strong start already, but I'd like some critique, and if possible, advice on how to buff up my bull rush/strength checks in general. The character is a human 3rd level Dungeoncrasher fighter. All books and dragonmags are usable resources. Pathfinder is approved on a case-by-case basis by the DM. My DM has permitted up to 3 flaws. Here is the build so far:

Str: 22
Con: 18
Dex: 15
Int: 14
Wis: 9
Cha: 13

Human: Power Attack (PHB)
Flaw Feat 1: Improved Bullrush (PHB)
Flaw Feat 2: Knockback (Races of Stone)
Flaw Feat 3: Windup (Dragon 304)
1st level: Weapon Focus Longspear (PHB)
Fighter 1: Rout (Dragon 304)
3rd level: Item Familiar Longspear (UA)
Fighter 4: Short Haft (PHB II)
Regional: Furious Charge (PGtF)


Deceptively Strong:

Abilities: +4 Strength
Special Qualities: Powerful Build, +4 on all strength checks

With the current setup, I could achieve a +24 to my bullrush check. I can also bullrush in melee without moving, and I can throw spears to bullrush from afar, though thrown spears only bullrush 5 feet.

+4 from Improved Bull Rush
+4 from Template
+4 from Powerful Build's size bonus
+6 from Strength
+6 from using Power Attack -3 (two-handed)

Is there anything I should add or change?

Armbands of Might add 2 to Strength checks.

Shock Trooper will make your charges and bull rushes better. Also, depending on whether your DM lets you qualify via Powerful Build (not really RAW legal but a decent enough houserule) you could pick up Knockback, which combos amazingly with Shock Trooper. Two-hand your spear and charge in, taking the full PA penalty to AC (instead of attack, thanks Shock Trooper), get double that penalty as a damage bonus at full accuracy, and then to add insult to injury, get a free Bull Rush on the person you hit with twice the penalty taken as a bonus on the Bull Rush roll. At high enough levels, a full PA tradeoff will have you looking at +40 on top of whatever else you have, which is enough for you to send giants flying backwards.

EDIT: Ah, you already have Knockback, didn't notice. Still, pick up Shock Trooper ASAP to avoid the accuracy penalty, letting you dump AC to attack aggressively!

It might be worth it to know what the LA on that template was, just to check if there's a better option.

Ah, the homebrew template was +1 LA, which I've bought off pre-campaign start. The campaign starting ECL is 4, but with 1 LA bought off + item familiar I'm at 3,300 xp.

Possible items you might want to look at:
Paldrons of the bull
Thorny ioun stone
A shield with ramming
Gorgon belt

Belt of growth is nice, but even nicer would be a few level dip into psychic warrior for (augmented) expansion.

One more feat: Shield and Pike Style (from Dragon #338) allow to use Light Shield while "using a two-handed piercing pole arm weapon with reach."
