Specific Problems:

Dazzling Display is still weaker than simply taking the intimidate skill (a feat to do as a full-round action what you can do with the skill as a standard action). It's not a low-level feat, it's just a fine for people who hope to get Deadly Stroke at level 11. I don't mind Deadly stroke having a long feat tree, I just want to see Dazzling Display as something useful.

Double Slice makes you more effective with your off-hand weapon than with your primary weapon. That's just odd. Would it not make more sense for the feat to apply to the primary weapon?

Two-Weapon Rend should have Double Slice as a prerequisite, rather than Weapon Swap; it makes far more sense.

I like the changes to combat feats, however I still think that Fighters need something more.

The big concern that fighters have is that they can be sidelined by things like high DR. One of the good features of ToB was that they provided options in which fighters gave up their iterative attacks (because the maneuvre was a standard action) in exchange for overcoming DR or hardness.

Combat Feats with a similar effect might be useful.
