I was mulling over a build that would reflect my tabletop duelist as close as possible and found myself torn at which armor and class feats I should take. So I am posting my thoughts here for any ideas/comments.

Background:
The concept I have in the TT version of Pathfinder is a street rat raised on the streets of Katapesh who later became a great swordsman through many street duels and self-discipline, etc.
The TT build crosses Rogue and Fighter then of course the Duelist prestige class. Now the challenge - translate that concept to PFO. Dirty fighting and disarming are common tactics.

PFO Build Details:
I am thinking going mostly with fighter/skirmisher feats peppered with some rogue feats/skills then appropriate gathering and knowledge skills. Something like the following for the first set of skills / feats:

- All knowledge skills, perception and stealth to level 1.
- Gatherer skill: Scavenger
- Light Armor, Light Blade and Bow proficiency (Rapier will be main longbows are commonly used in Katapesh)
- Light Melee and Ranged Attack Bonus
- Recovery, Fort, Will and Reflex Bonus
- HP to lvl 2 to start
- Power to lvl 2 to start

That all seems easy and straight forward here is where I get torn:
-------------------------
- Class Feature, I was thinking Light Blade Specialization
- Armor Feat, I am torn between Dragoon and Swashbuckler
- Implement, torn between Rogue Kit and Trophy Charm
- Attacks, I have no idea which are good/bad/basic I have predominately been testing my spell caster so I am lost in this area

This will be mostly my secondary character (DT). I am not in a real rush to build it as it will most likely sit and collect XP for a while.

Questions I ran into:
Is it better to specialize in a role or have mixed talents?
I would like to get into T2 & 3 weapons and armor some day does it seem feasible to stay at say role 2 Rogue and then stick to Fighter achievements until T3 or should I work on keeping Rogue and Fighter achievements the same?

I would like to have a happy mix of RP while portraying a skilled swordsman without hindering the build.
