Since you don't have Sneak Attack - I wouldn't bother with a feint build. That's primarily for rogues etc. to do more damage.

The big question you've got to answer is whether you want to continue with Swashbuckler, or go into a different class. The general consensus is that Swashbuckler's first level is awesome, the next few are okay, but past level 5 it's rather weak.

As to your other trait - you might consider getting the +1 to Will or Fort, as those saves are two of the biggest weakness of the Swashbuckler class.
