Thank you for your answers and advices!

Yes, i think i'm going with scimitars but an argument can be maybe for Bastard swords. If choosing bastard swords, scimitar dance would be the feat that changes to bastard sword profiency. 1d8 & High Crit & Scimitar Dance feat vs 1d10 + profiency feat. (Hope i didn't forget something here) 

I made some changes to the build, few feats and powers. I also looked again at the epic destinys and decided to change it to one of the three of these : Demigod, Destined Scion or Indomitable Champion. I'm just not quite sure which one would be the best for this build. I'm leaning over to either Demigod or Destined Scion. 

Demigod would offer me half my HP recovery once per day, regeneration once per day per encounter and a way to recover an encounter power when i have echausted them all.
Destined Scion would offer me +1 to attack & +2 to saves, twice my healing surge value heal when 0 or fewer HP as daily power and a daily power that allows me to hit if i miss.
Indomitable Champion offers 20 HP & +1 to saves, drop to 0 or fewer HP -> regain HP for your healing surge value & +5 to all defences until end of next turn.
All offer +2 to 2 stats (STR & DEX in this case).

I have bolded the unsure feats & powers.

I also made a list for the equipment, not sure if these are the ones to get as i haven't studied much of the equipment books.

Armor : +6 Elderhide
Weapons : +6 Frost Scimitars, +6 Longbow
Bracers : Iron Armbands of Power
Feet : Boots of Teleportation
Hands : Gloves of Ice
Head : Eye of Awareness
Neck : Torc of Power Preservation
Ring : Ring of Free Time
Ring : Shadow Band
Waist : Belt of Titan Strenght
Wondorous Item : Elven Chain Shirt 

We started at level 1 and have cumulated enough xp to level to 2. I haven't done the leveling yet as i have now 2 weeks time before our next session. Woodelf would be good option but we don't have access to it.

I agree that it would be nice to start with 18 dex or 18 wis but then i would have to put 1 level up point to con to get Armor Specialization Hide (req 15 con), as it negates the -1 penalty to skills and gives me +1 AC, thus leaving me with either 25 str or 27 dex. 18 wis would give me more mileage from the combo below and 18 dex more damage with scimitar dance and stormwarden.

I was also contemplation the Armor Splinter + Blade Cascade combo.. Would it be worth it as my wis mod will be +4 in the final score, +3 when i would get Armor Splinter? And if so which of the encounter powers i should retrain it for? All three of them are kinda hard to loose, for me at least.ra

Which feats you had in mind? And after Heroic, retrain them back to those that are in the build or keep them?
