Might have an opportunity to drop into a game as a lvl 10 guy.
Party make up is mostly irrelevant, and I've wanted to try one of these guys for a long, long time.
There are tricks, I know.
I've searched here, read Oterisk's most excellent guide, but I am still really looking for a lot more in depth discussion.
Any other good advice please?

Do you mean the duelist or the Aldori swordlord? Two similar but definitely not identical PrCs.
Assuming it's the former, which Oterisk's guide applies to, the parry only works when taking a full attack. Which means being able to make a full attack is especially important. Something like cavalier 4 / sohei monk 4 / duelist 2 might be a good idea, using mounted skirmisher to get full attacks easily and horse master to keep the mount up to scratch.
Or a reach build perhaps. Aberrant bloodrager 6 / duelist 4 could work. I think this is one of the situations where bladed brush could possibly apply.
If you're looking to use TWF a slayer might be decent.
It looks like those options mostly postdate the guide you're linking, which was written in 2012. Hopefully they're helpful. If not, what did you want to discuss exactly?

If it's Aldori flavour/crunch that you're after, then the Adventurer's Guide hardcover has the most recent/updated versions. Notably, the Aldori Swordlord archetype for Fighters (from PC Inner Sea Primer) has been updated both in terms of content and name (it's now the Aldori defender). There are also various new feats, etc., connected with the Aldori Swordlords. Plus a Swashbuckler archetype for the Aldori and other stuff.
