Hey guys, in a recent thread I got some advice on my build and I ended up with going with the Dread Necro/Binder/Anima Mage suggestion. I'm loving the potential in this.
I've made up a 1-20 character progession list and was just wondering if any of you far more advanced players could have a look and make any recommendations for tweaking the build for more benefit. Perhaps changing the order in which I get certain feats, or changing the feats altogether. Any help is much appreciated. Cheers.

P.S. Access to any official 3.5e book


Terlence Undermill
Strongheart Halfling

(At level 1)
STR  8 (-1)
DEX  14 (+2)
CON  12 (+1)
INT  14 (+2)
WIS  10
CHA  17 (+3)

Terlence, or Terly, comes from a small settlement called Roundmound, which is found in the lands of Luiren.
Consisting of just 4 families, Roundmound is a tight-knit community regardless of the frequent comings and goings of its adventurous residents.
Terly’s mother was still young when she came down with an unknown disease and starting to slowly die.
As she slowly and painfully perished from the unknown ailment Terly was her sole carer. Though the disease was tragic and unforgiving, Terly couldn’t help but to see a certain beauty in the irrefutable power of death.
He grew to have a great respect and a great curiosity towards death, seeing it as not evil or ugly, but as poetic and beautiful... And the ultimate challenge for those who are willing to face it!
Since his mother’s passing Terly has begun traveling to expand his knowledge and his strength. His goal is to harness the infinite power of death and use this power to, when the time comes, challenge death itself!

Main reason was because the bonus feat at 4th level Binder would be handy... But I guess it could be done without...

Alright then , well here's a revised version. Another 2 levels of caster gained, but still 2 levels missing.
Any presitge class worth taking for level 20 that will increse my caster level and keep with the flavour?

9th level of DN is 100% useless to me. (minus the caster level thing)

Actually one 6th level vestige that is very good is found in this online source: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/frcc/20070718

Zceryll, "The Star Spawn"

Is very good.
