EDIT: You can no longer take the Summon Celestial Steed power. It doesn't hurt the core of this build (you can still "1-shot" bahamut), but you lost flight. Still, you have have 4 feats (including your MC) the ED, and possibly even your PP to play with.
The setup: 5 charged optimized tieifling ardents, with trailblazing assault.
The trick... 1) Ardent 1 charges with trailblazing assault augment 2, if he hits (and he will)... 2) Ardent 2 charges with trailblazing assault augment 2, if he hits (and he will)... 3) Ardent 3 charges with trailblazing assault augment 2, if he hits (and he will)... 4) Ardent 4 charges with trailblazing assault augment 2, if he hits (and he will)... 5) Ardent 5 charges with trailblazing assault augment 2, if he hits (and he will)... 6) Goto 1 7) ???? 8) Profit (e.g. Loot the corpses).
*Slide enemy 1 (mark of storms), shift 1 (boots of adept charging), slide adjacent ally 1 (tail slide), along with reach (greatspear), and a little tactical thinking ensures charge room for the next ally in the chain.
@ 1 With plenty of healing/surges, but meh damage, things will be slow, but with little risk. @ 7, expect to have 1/3 of the creatures dead before it can act. @ 13 When you pick up your thundergod weapon, expect it to jump to about 1/2. @ 17 With 2 more PP, turn 2 becomes the mop-up faze. @ 22, when you get your pegasus, you will know the meaning of overkill.
Another major advantage: Since damage comes in chunks of 60 or so, can grant attacks at range "sight", and can charge flying 8 squares (10, since granted attacks can still hit on a 2 while running), this team works against any mix of solo/elite/normal/minions.
Weaknesses: *Very small rooms/corridors without room to charge can be an issue. But with plenty of surges/heals, you could grind trough it. *Skills aren't diverse. With 5 trained (6 with the util), so you should be ok on skill challenges, but traps will take there toll.

Items: Horned Helm (epic), Badge of the Beserker+6, Thundergod Greatspear+6, Boots of Adept Charging, Iron Armbands of Power (epic), Time Link Armor+6, Bridle of Rapid Action, not-completely-out-of-date-holy-symbol, a few re-roll items (stone of earth, dice of auspicious fortune, ect).
40.9 + Aggressive Advantage = 42.9 + lucky start = (97.7%) and if you miss, you got 4 back up attackers. With +8 to hit, and harbringer of doom, each addional attack is 99.75%. 55.8 + rapid assault = 61.8 damage.
Each person can grant 7 charges, along with a final charge, it's 8 attacks @ 5 people, + 2 extra's from Psionic Conduit, which is 42 attacks. I'm not going to calculate the chance of the chain stopping, since it's terribly low, and you could just start it again next turn.
Building off the encounter nova, we have 4*5 (20) more charges from Coordinated Effort, 5 more from action points, and 5 Aggressive Accompaniment. Also, a reroll for everyone ensures everything hits.
25 more charges * 61.8 = 1545
AA damage = 2d10 (11) + Cha + 2d6 (7) = 27 * 5 = 135

At-Will Attack Powers: When a power or some other effect lets a creature use an at-will attack power, the creature can choose to use one of its augmentable at-will attack powers, but must use it unaugmented
Your granting a charge not an at-will attack power.

This is an exception to that rule. TBA states that you can use it in place of a MBA on a charge, with no restrictions on whether it is augmented or not (in contrast to Intent Laid Bare, for example).
EDIT: The first obvious candidate for a paragon path is Argent Soul, to get the expanded crit range.

The trick: up to 6 charge a turn, 30 charges a round, for up to 8 rounds. Probably averaging around 20 hits per round.
The setup 5 tieifling ardents, with boots of adept chargin + tail slide + trailblazing assault, otherwise charged optimized (badge of the beserker, horned helm, ect).
The trick...
1) Ardent 1 standard, charges with trailblazing assault augment 2, if he hits... 2) Ardent 2 free, charges with trailblazing assault augment 2, if he hits... 3) Ardent 3 free, charges with trailblazing assault augment 2, if he hits... 4) Ardent 4 free, charges with trailblazing assault augment 2, if he hits... 5) Ardent 5 free, charges with trailblazing assault augment 2, if he hits... 6) Ardent 1 free, charges
*after each charge, shift 1 and tail slide an ally into a chargable position.
Now, how would this be best optimized?
Why stop at 6 charges per turn ? The granted charges are not free actions, so they don't fall under the 1/turn free action attack limit. Simply charge until no one is left standing (or the PPs run out)...
