totem spear dancer, then what?

[ohako]

Here's the outline of a...well, it's not optimal

Race: Human (or Half-Elf)
Class: Bard
Feats
H: Exotic Weapon Proficiency (totem spear)
1: Weapon Focus (totem spear)
3: Two-Weapon Fighting
5: Spear Dancer Style
7: Weapon Finesse
9: Spear Dancer Spiral
11: Spear Dancer Torrent

So, something of a standard bard, but you can sing, dance, and play the spear! How you can play an aeolian spear when the holes are jammed into someone's guts is best left unanswered. The question is: what next?

a) what traits would you pick?
b) human or half-elf? Or some other way to cadge EWP for the totem spear?
c) any bard archetype call out to combine with this? I would kind of like to keep versatile performance,but other than that I'm open.
d) Spear Dancer Style I know has some problems where you take feats that don't do you any good, and then the style unlocks them for you (+Dex to hit at level 9...). Would it be a good idea, or, uh, let's stay away from 'good' and use 'better'. Would it be better to multiclass fighter in there somewhere? Maybe 2 levels?

You could do the same thing with four less feats by just using a weighted spear and singing.

Human let's you fill out your feats quicker. Half Elf lets you get Skill Training in your perform skill, both help you out.

Take one level dip into fighter. Get the feats to build you up, and you need a BAB +1 for Exotic Weapon Prof.

Maybe take the Gladiator Archetype and you can get the Performance Mastery Feat for free and be devastating in Gladiatorial combat.

For traits I'd go something that gives my a quick bonus to Perform, and maybe Reactionary or improving knowledge.

Geez, now they just need to come out with a 'weighted elven branch totem longspear', and I'd be all set.
