As for the build? If you wanna dip, I vote 2 levels in Bard. You get Versatile Performance to diversify your skills, a desperately needed boost to will saves, and now you can sing sea shanties. A small handful of 1st level spells maintain their use at mid/late levels and you have the ability to spend 2 Prestige Points and have a Cure Light wand. And having one of those is proper etiquette at a PFS table past level 2.Did you see my Charisma stat?
Oh my bad. Saw the Swashbuckler levels and I assumed Charisma would be a thing.
Looking over your build again.... the best goal right now is to run damage control and salvage what we can. Pick up Ultimate Campaign so you can legally retrain out of the Barbarian level. Rage doesn't last all that long and you're mucking up saving throw progression.
You have an unusually high Intelligence score for a martial character. Since you can't retrain stats, switch your Barbarian and Fighter levels out for a Kensai Magus. This allows you to add your unusually high Int score to your AC, helping on that front. Extra Traits feat can get you magical lineage. Spell Focus and Spell Specialization are a heavy feat tax, but it helps make up for your non caster levels.
Failing all that, diving into the Duelist class for Int to AC. If you go this route you don't get spells or a good will save, so Iron Will is pretty much mandatory.

Max UMD next level with your 8 skill points. Get a masterwork tool for +2.
This gets you to +17 UMD.
If you take extra panache at lvl 9 you can start using the abilities while keeping 1 in your pool. You also crit more so you regain them.
EDIT: You do spend 1 point of panache per parry and riposte (emptying your pool). Be sure to not use 7 of these a round when using combat reflexes.
At 8 put a point in Dex, going to 23. Buy a Courageous amulet of mighty fists for 4k to increase all morale bonuses by 1. Now Rage gives +5 giving you an even Dex score.
9th lvl, go Barbarian again to grab Superstitious rage power. This gives a +2 morale bonus to saves even when not raging and also goes up by 1 from the amulet greatly increasing saves vs spells.
