Dance of 23 steps Bardic Mastery

So the basis behind this build is fighting defensively for -2 to hit, +16 dodge AC when fighting defensively.

The level in Urban Blood Rager allows for no - to AC while giving +6 to Str, Dex, or Con and being able to use skills while doing so. Skald song allows me to use my own rage in place of standard skald rage bonus without fatiguing afteward. So I can use my song to boost allies and increase my dex. Ideally I'll have a +6 dex belt increasing my dex to 26, Rage to 32 (+11)

So when Raging +11 dex, fighting defensively -2 to hit +16 to AC, +27 to AC before items/armor, also adding Dex to damage with dervish dance.

If I do managed to get hit, I split damage with my familiar, my familar then heals at fast healing 5. I can make it use a wand to cure my own damage without sacrificing any of my own actions, hence the high UMD. Familiar also aids another to further improve AC. Once I add magical Items I am looking at 35+ AC and touch AC. Fast Healing, improving allies while I go.

Dance of 23 steps allows me to take an additional -4 to hit and add another 8 to my AC, for a total of -6 to hit and +24 to AC

Any suggestions to improve this build?
