Gore Fiend build advice.

Silver Crusade

I'm thinking about making a crit-fishing Half-Orc character based around the Gore Fiend Feat. How should I go about it?

GORE FIEND (Advanced Race Guide p.57)

Prerequisites: Half-orc or orc, Rage class feature.
Benefit: When you are raging and you confirm a critical hit with a melee weapon or a critical hit is confirmed on you (whether by a melee weapon, spell, or ranged weapon), you regain 1 round of rage (up to your maximum for the day). You can only gain this benefit once per round.

I'm thinking of giving her the Toothy alternate racial trait to add a 1d4 bite attack, because more attacks means more chances to Crit, right? I'd also been planning to go Barbarian specifically to get another attack through Lesser Fiend Totem and then take whatever Rage powers might help with crits. But now I'm thinking I might want to do Fey Bloodrager instead in order stack Confusion on top of the critical hits and to get free Haste at 12th level.

Initially I had planned to go TWF with a short sword and a scimitar (again, more hits = more crits,) but now I think I don't want to burn the Feat on it or have to make Dex a vital stat on top of everything else. Is the TWF idea viable or would it better just to use something like a greatsword or falchion?

Anyway, that's all I've got. If using a 15 point build how would you allocate it, and then what Feats and magic items would you look for along the way?

Thanks!
