1)Since Bind Vestige (Naberius) feat doesn't work and neither Strongheart Vest Soulmeld, what's best: Replace 1 level of Warlock for 1 level of Binder or buy/use a item that can heal ability damage (like Rod of Bodily Restoration from Magic Item Compendium page 173)?
2)When i reach Epic, i want to go to 10th level with Legacy Champion to improve as maximum i can Hellfire Warlock, but after that is possible to progress Legacy Champion to 11th level and beyond? I mean, is there any oficial Epic Legacy Champion Progression or will i have to progress Warlock again?
There's no official Rpic progression for LegChamp, but it IS allowed. Also, look at Bloodlines for even more Hellfire levels... That aren't levels.

This is pretty standard UT/LC use, applied towards damage.
1) When I did something like this, I used one level of Binder (Binder 1 / Warlock 6 / UT 1 / LC 1 / Hellfire 3 / LC +5 / UT +2 / Warlock +1) . The skill requirement means it doesn't actually slow you down all that much. Because you've got a bit of extra leeway, grab Beguiling Influence and work as a speaker early on, before you unlock your truly hellish powers.
(My approach also used Illumian / Vaulkrau (provides a boost on Diplomacy checks and caster level), and splashed an element of Eldritch Glaive with Weapon Finesse in there, but was otherwise a pretty straightforward warlock in terms of feats and invocations. Unlike normal glaivelocks, you don't need a high base attack: if every hit is doing 28d6, and they're all touch attacks, you don't need as many hits to get the expected damage up there.)
2) See Draco's remark. In general I do not plan for epic due to poor support.
3) None directly. I would like to remind you that, should you need larger AoE effects than warlocks can normally provide, just fly (Fell Flight) and aim Eldritch Cone down.
4) See 2.
As for bloodlines, I explain it here. Time it right and you can squeeze +6d6 hellfire in there, as well as playing up the eeeeeeeevil nature of soul binding and hellfire.

Thanks for your time and lol what a cheese is these Bloodlines, but i guess i won't work with them because they're so... Weird.
But thanks anyway, i'll see this Draco'a Remark and think about it.
Just a question: You stated that your build was Binder 1/Warlock 6/UT 1/LC 1, but you can get LC only after level 10, does that have to do with your Bloodlines levels (since there are 3 levels of Bloodline which gives you a "theorical" level 10)?

Well as far as epic feats the Shadowmaster feat from the page you linked to is very vesatile.

The two editions are very different...and make for two different games.
In general, 3.0/3.5 is built around more-or-less full freedom in terms of character customization. In contrast, 4.0 is built around balance and ease of play. Honestly, I think WotC should have maintained both lines as parallel games.

Yeah, there's others feats there that i liked, but talking about non-epic feats i think maximize spell-like ability and some others of this kind can be useful for my 2 (yes, two) Hellfire Blast each with 2 (yes, two again) Essences per round.
But with Shadowmaster you get all sorts of litlle fun things like Maze, Mordonkainen's Magnificent Mansion, all of the Wall spells, and more. In fact a fun little trap would be a Phase Door straight down, to anything that doesn't fly in means a tough time coming back up (set the trigger to be when someone steps on it). Trap The Soul is another useful spell (particularly if trying to protect something from a thief). There are all the teleport spells(don't forget the repositioning ones in PHB2). There is 1 out of combat self-healing spell in Dragon Magic (Undying Vigor of the DragonLords). You can get area con damage (Cloudkill).
On the subject of non-epic options why not get the Eldritch Glaive least invocation from Dragon Magic instead of Eldritch Sculptor epic feat? And do you have Ability Focus for those essences?

Yes, i'll get the Shadowmaster feat, it is really useful, but about Eldritch Glaive:
I was not thinking about going melee, BUT if go i guess i could use BOTH Eldritch Glaive and Eldritch Sculptor, not just one of them instead of the other.
I mean, with Eldritch Sculptor i get two Blast Shapes at the same time, and with Eldritch Glaive (that is Blast Shape) i turn my Blast into a Full-Attack melee, now just wonder TWO of this Full-Attacks, each one with TWO Essences (Lorde of All Essences) and with Hellfire Blast... Man, THAT'S AWESOME!
I do intend to get Ability Focus too.
Thanks for your advice, this thing looks promissor, i just need to get high Base Attack Bonus now with something like Divine Power or similar.
