Either Scimtar or Short Sword proficiency.

ApR is the king on the battlefield, and a Fighter/Mage will be able to hit a next to permanent 10 ApR with Improved haste (forget about GWW and get Critical Strike instead). That is, IF you use at least one weapon that increases your ApR. Either Belm (scimtar) or Kundane (short sword) will do, though Belm is probably the best choice if you can spare it.

Edit: I noticed that you thought about having three stars in War Hammers for your Fighter/Mage. Does that mean that your protoganist is a pure fighter dualled to a mage? In that case, if you dual at lvl 13, you can disregard the above comment since you'll be able to hit 10 ApR with Improved Haste anyway.
