Aasimar Barbarian Scion of Humanity, need help!!


Advice


One of the guys in our group is working on an Aasimar Invulnerable Rager Barbarian.
Basically, his backstory is that he was raised and exiled from Trunau, and eventually found work as a mercenary working in Urgir, specifically becoming a full member of the Death's Head Tribe, which is a merc tribe within Belkzen. He worships Gorum and his alignment is mostly Chaotic Neutral with some Evil tendencies (doesn't like taking prisoners often and if he does it's for the purpose of slaves).
Anyway, we're using 25point buy with this game, and he's used the following for starting:

Turgeis Ironhide
Stats
22, 12, 16, 7, 13, 10
Class Invulnerable Rager
Feats Rage Powers
Level 1 Racial Heritage (Orc) Level 2 Reckless Abandon
Level 3 Power Attack Level 4 Superstition
Level 5 Improved Sunder Level 6 Lesser Beast Totem
Level 7 Raging Vitality Level 8 Beast Totem
Level 9 Angelic Blood Level 10 Witch Hunter
Level 11 Angelic Flesh (Steel) Level 12 Greater Beast Totem
Level 13 Angel Wings Level 14 Come and Get Me
Level 15 Metallic Wings Level 16 Spell Sunder
Level 17 Raging Deathblow Level 18 Strength Surge
Level 19 Resilient Brute Level 20 Ghost Rager
Racial Traits
Halo, Scion of Humanity, Deathless Spirit, Truespeaker
Traits
Reactionary, Omen
Drawbacks
Oppressive Expectations

What he's wondering is if Metallic Wings are really worth it, as is Resilient Brute. He chose Racial Heritage for the Orc Subtype to get the Orc Favored Class Bonus, basically an extra 20 rounds of rage per day. He likes the idea of metallic wings, but he's not sure if they're worth it. At that high level, I told him he might be better off skipping the metallic wings and resilient brute and instead going for something like Destroyer's Blessing and Raging Deathblow.
Instead, I told him something like this for feats:

Level 1 Racial Heritage (Orc) Level 2 Reckless Abandon
Level 3 Power Attack Level 4 Superstition
Level 5 Improved Sunder Level 6 Lesser Beast Totem
Level 7 Raging Vitality Level 8 Beast Totem
Level 9 Angelic Blood Level 10 Witch Hunter
Level 11 Angelic Flesh (Steel) Level 12 Greater Beast Totem
Level 13 Angel Wings Level 14 Come and Get Me
Level 15 Raging Deathblow Level 16 Spell Sunder
Level 17 Destroyer's Blessing Level 18 Strength Surge
Level 19 Raging Deathblow Level 20 Ghost Rager

Let me know what you guys think either way. Personally, I told him this barbarian is going to be absolutely insane! Fly and pounce? Friggin auto-win. However, I've never used an Aasimar so I'm not the best person to ask.

Nobody is able to help out with this?

I don't understand some of the alternate racial traits.

Deathless Spirit is okay, but will come up less than energy damage.

Halo replaces Darkvision, which is just too good for what you get.

Truespeaker is, at best, lame.

Scion of Humanity is awesome, keep it.

Angel-Blooded or Archon-Blooded are the best choices for Aasimar Heritages.

Angel-Blooded has Alter Self, which is, itself, a buff.

Lantern Lodge

Angel-kin is a solid choice. If you are feeling generous let the player have this from the alternate ability table: "9%: You gain an additional +2 racial bonus to your Strength score."

Let's face it, Daylight isnt gonna help your average Barbarian :-P Exalted Resistance shores up a classic Barbie weakness -- magic. A Barbarian with SR and Superstition at level 20... Frankly that's bordering on overpowered heh


He gave up his SLA for the +2 Str, that's where is starting strength of 22 came from.
