Rogue build question

[deadmoney]

Hello again, trying to branch out a bit and have spent way too much time today on the Character builder. Here's what I'm trying to get: a dual wielding, strength based rogue/WM (with probably short swords to save the feat). Obviously I'd like weapon specialization, epic weapon specialization, epic prowess, epic focus, devastating crit, etc. Question is, something has got to give. I looked at the epic builds page for the devastating rogue and it skips the weapon master aspect (which of course would free me from needing expertise and give me more sneak attack damage at very least). What would you guys think? How far would take these classes (I assume I need fighter/rogue/wm)? Thanks a lot.

Yes, for WS (weapon specialization) you need Fighter levels.... I think about 4 of them or so.

I have had some success going fighter 10/rogue 20/weapon master 10. It tends to cut your xp, if playing a non human, but the end justified the means, in this case. Totally unrelated to the post, other than it is about a build: I have currently been working on a bard/cleric/arcane archer. An unusual combination? Or has some one done this before? I know that I haven't.
The one downfall?? that I have run into on the char generator was no epic spells, even going 15/bard/15 cleric. I need the 10 lvls of aa, to solidify the class. The one version I do have up and running is seeming to not notice that fact. She has excellent buff capability, and because of high wis/cha, really good saves. She also has high dex, for good ac, and decent attack rating on the bow.
