Feat advice needed for two-handed ranger

[Angry Wizard]

Okay, so my friend wants to run a demon-spawn tiefling ranger (demonslayer/cinderwalker) that wields a greataxe for Wrath of the Righteous. This is a feat list we have crafted so far using the two-handed combat style, and we would like your advice on it. Honestly, I personally was kind of underwhelmed by the options in the two-handed style.

1. Iron Will
2. Power Attack
3. Improved Iron Will
4. –
5. Exorcist's Rebuttal
6. Furious Focus
7. Improved Initiative
8. –
9. Improved Critical
10. Cleave
11. Critical Focus
12. –
13. Staggering Critical
14. Great Cleave
15. Toughness
16. –
17. Stunning Critical
18. Improved Sunder
19. Empty Feat Slot
20. –

Two-Handed style is kind of unnecessary. Go Archery style, and just pick up Power Attack and now you're good in melee, and can use a bow effectively.

Okay, so we cleaned up his list a bit. He didn't want to be switch hitter, so we didn't really optimize his feat selection, rather we sorted it in a way someone who relied on archery as a secondary method of attack and preferred to feel demon bones crunching under his axe whenever possible.

1. Power Attack
2. Precise Shot
3. Iron Will
4. –
5. Improved Iron Will
6. Improved Precise Shot
7. Exorcist's Rebuttal

9. Improved Critical
10. Rapid Shot
11. Critical Focus
12. –
13. Staggering Critical
14. Many Shot
15. Improved Initiative

The thing that makes the ranger combat style worth it is the ability to ignore prerequisites. They are not simple free feats. For a two handed style I would pick up shield of swings at 2nd level and then great cleave at 6th. Power attack will of course be your 1st level feat. This gives him some tactical option. If he is fighting a tough opponent he can switch to defensive by using shield of swings. This can be combined with fighting defensively for a +6 (or +7 with three ranks of acrobatics) to AC. When fighting numerous lesser foes he uses great cleave to attack all foes within reach. If he uses a reach weapon and, or has enlarge person cast on him he can take down a lot of enemies that way.
