Your stats seem wrong:

Human: +2 str/+2 cha
Warrior: +2 str/+2 dex
Sorc: +2 Cha
free: +2str/+2dex/+2con/+2cha

so, you should be:
Str: 16
Dex: 14
Con: 12
Int: 10
Wis: 10
Cha: 16

If you're going melee:

pick up True strike.

it's one of the best spells in the game atm (even for full casters) and it's even better for Gishes. (only 1 action, gives like a +4-5 effective to hit, which is also equally +4-5 to crit threat range, doesn't provoke, etc)

Also, I think Draconic bloodline would be much better for Gish than Imperial:

Claws are "free" scaling magic weapons (unlike magic weapon), and activating them enables Arcane striker (which should be your goto feat to activate each round)

so, from level 4 (that you gain arcane striker) and onwards, you could easily do something like:

move->claws->arcanestriker-Stirke (round 1)
move->true strike->arcanestriker-strike (round 2)
and etc

without maximized Cha i wouldn't personaly go for blasting routines, but more for buff->arcane striker routines.

If you're going ranged:

Get bow proficiency
dump Str, go for 16 Dex/18 cha/Imperial bloodline
get true strike
Routine would be more like: Blast->arcane striker bow strike.

Thanks for the advice, much apreciated.

I'm gonna take true strike, definitely. But the bloodline is more thematical than practical/mechanical for me. So, I'm visualizing the character as a chelish fallen noble, whose family have a bad reputation of practice intercourse with demons (if I take the infernal bloodline), or maybe one of his acestors was a infamous warlock from thassilonian times (if I take the imperial bloodline).

All this conversation reminds me when WOTC released 4e...
Déjà vu anyone?
