Like the title says, is it just me or is Smashing Style and Foehammer seemingly made for eachother? The synergy in between the two is amazing. If, it works how I think it does.
Sunder (at +2 from the level 3 ability) then Bull Rush (from Smashing style, with +2), then trip (from the level 7 ability, with +2). Add some Greater Bull Rush and Spiked Destroyer for extra goodness.
BTW, is it just me or is Smashing Crush and Smashing Dent both really, really bad?

I've always been a fan of foehammer and the hurler abilities. I know a guy who actually hired commoners to follow his barbarian around so he could use them as projectiles.
Ooh, yeah this is a really good archetype with the new options. It even keeps Weapon Training and Bravery so you can feat into Advanced Weapon Training and improve your will save.
You definitely want to be using a lucerne hammer for further bonuses to sunder.

For some reason, Lucerne Hammers aren't in the Hammers Fighter Weapon Group.

That's almost as silly as the temple sword not being a monk weapon.
Here's a build I made for a campaign I'm in right now. I had 25 points to buy, but I couldn't dump.
Arldruck Deepbrow
LG Dwarf Foehammer 5
Str 18+2
Dex 15
Con 14+(2)
Int 10
Wis 10+(2)
Cha 10-(2)
()=Racial Bonus
+1 Adamantine Longhammer (PA) +11 (2d6+14/x3)
Bab +5, CMB +10(+12 on Trips, +14 on Sunders and Overruns, +16 on Bullrushes) CMD 20 (etc. for combat maneuvers)
Feats; Power Attack, Steel Soul, Improved Bullrush, Improved Sunder, Weapon Focus (Longhammer), Smashing Style
I took the relentless racial trait for a +2 to Bullrushes and Overruns. As well as Glory of the Old for even better saves against spells. So, spells can't do anything to him and he's smashing peoples armor and knocking them down all at the same time.
