Is this worth it? Two-Weapon Ranger + Spiked Destroyer + Quick Bull Rush


Advice

Sovereign Court

Ok, so I was working on a build for PFS (it's what I do sometimes when I'm bored), and decided to try my hands on a Two-Weapon Fighting Ranger.

I'm going on the assumption that I can wield a one-handed weapon and a shield, and have my off-hand attack as being with armor spikes, since that was allowed in 3.5 (and I'm aware of some rules debates on armor spikes; I don't feel like debating that in this thread. If it becomes an issue at the game table, I'll either just play it the way the GM says so or just play a different character).

I came across the Spiked Destroyer and Quick Bull Rush feats, and began to wonder if it'll be worth it. By level 9, I should have:

Power Attack, Improved Bull Rush, Greater Bull Rush, Quick Bull Rush, Two-Weapon Fighting, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Spiked Destroyer.

The idea being, when appropriate, substitute my highest attack for a bull rush. If it succeeds, I push the target 5 feet and all my allies get a free AoO on the target, and I can use a swift action to make an attack with my armor spikes. Then, I proceed to make the rest of my attacks on the target.

Even though I can probably do that every round if I wanted, I figured it'd mostly depend on the situation.

Just don't know if it's worth it, so figured I'd ask around for other people's opinions.

You should wield your shield with two hands for 1.5 strength. Do not forget double slice.
