I have been looking at the magic items available but am unsure how to best go about boosting my channeling. As a starting point for this discussion let's assume that I have about 35,000gp and no more than 1/2 can be spent on a single item. So far the only 2 that I have come up with are:
The Phylactery of Positive channeling (11,000)
The headband of alluring charisma +4 (16,000)
Unfortuneatley they are both head slot items. Anyone else have more suggestions?

That is the only way there is unless Ultimate Magic has something.
There are is a 3pp book, but assuming you use only Pathfinder official products the Phylactery is the only way to do it.
Without spending items and also not knowing what is in the Ultimate Magic book yet, you could 'houserule' (or ask to) 'Quicken Channeling' as a feat. I played through CotCT using it, freed up my character to actually participate in combat rather than costantly healbot. Admittedly though, regardless of build/domains/etc. you eventually have to 'Cleric-up' and stop pretending to be a Fighter, even with a 45 armorclass.
EDIT: Also assuming you're not playing 'PF Society'.

Good Stuff
EDIT: Also assuming you're not playing 'PF Society'.
This actually is for society play, but at least I know now that I have found what there is. I did take the additional channeling feat so that should help some. But I have to say that I am a little disappointed that the phylactery and headband conflict so I can't use them both. :-(
If you are going to boosts your channeling to be an in-combat healer, then I suggest using Shield Other on your party mates. Spreading the damage around gives you a lot more out of each channeling. Of course selective channeling becomes a must for you.
I've just played a new life oracle at level 9, who got quite significant for the party doing just that.
I think there's no extra charge if you e.g. buy/forge a "ring of positive channeling" (The rules have changed somewhat from 3.5 to PF in this regard.) As long as you use any of the body slots for the item, it still costs the same. Without a body slot it would cost +50%.

My suggestion is buy a Rod of Splendor. It is +4 Charisma for I think 25k? Plus you get a neat tent and all that other stuff too.
The Phylactery of Positive Channeling is great and if you are focusing on channeling it is the way to go. 11k
So that is about 36k which is close to what you have to spend.
Otherwise you are looking at buying Ioune Stones which get really pricy. +2 Charisma for 8k or if you have seeker of secrets I think there is a stacking Charisma one but I don't recall what it is off the top of my head only that it is expensive.
Edit: This is what I did for society play.

You can combine wondrous items... the cost to add one to another is 1.5 per added ability.
So Phylactery = 11k + Headband+4 (16k*1.5) = 35k
