Effectively this is an AOO tank build that uses a big bad eldritch glaive for damage, and Beguiling Influence along with the Diplomacy as a class skill thing to be a party Face as well.
 




In the Trickster/Champion Overdrive build the AOO tank loadout was used to provide close area combat control as well as more hits/turn with the gigantic 28d6 eldritch glaive.

In a campaign I played in the bbeg was a gestalted warlock using all the tricks mentioned here with 2 major bloodlines and the presteige classes, and the other half of the build was an archivist the dm needless to say was quite evil

The first question has already been answered in this thread; it's the same as bloodlines. The second question has also already been answered. (Here's a hint)

Wouldn't this be better? the Shape Soulmeld feat and binding the Strongheart Vest, an ability that reduces all ability damage I take by one

To cover it again in brief (you can go back and read the details in other responses in this thread); they both can count for abilities based on class level, and the hellfire warlock's extra damage on a hellfire blast is +2d6 points per class level.

For example, three levels of uncanny trickster gives you two levels of class advancement (there's one "dead" level), so if you've got three levels of hellfire warlock as well, you can count as having five levels of hellfire warlock and deal an extra 10d6 points of damage with your hellfire blast, instead of 6d6 extra points.

= My most popular campaign item; for all your adventuring convenience. Show
Zauber's Mutable Rod: This rod has a number of useful functions that make it easier to live in the wilderness.  It is made of polished wood, with five studlike buttons on one end.  Each button produces a different effect when pressed.  Unless otherwise noted, the rod’s functions have no limit on the number of times they can be employed.
        When button 1 is pressed, one end of the rod produces a small flame, equivalent to a candle.
        When button 2 is pressed, the rod unfolds into a two-person tent, complete with bedrolls and warm blankets.
        When button 3 is pressed, the rod becomes a one-handed hammer, suitable for pounding pitons into a wall.
        When button 4 is pressed, the rod becomes a sturdy iron spade.
        When button 5 is pressed, the rod becomes a wooden bucket able to hold 2 gallons of liquid.  Once per day, it can be commanded to fill with fresh water.
If the rod is seriously damaged or broken in any of its alternate forms (button 2, 3, 4, or 5), it reverts to its basic rod form and cannot be activated for 24 hours.
    Moderate conjuration; CL 9th; Craft Rod, minor creation; Price 375 gp; Weight 2 lb.

Shinigami, as explained in another Hellfire thread within the last week, which was also yours, iirc, Strongheart Vest is considered supercheese, and its effectiveness is debated, but generally agreed to not work the way you want it to. Binding the Naberius vestige is perfectly legal, however.

Apologies are in order: that was a new question for you. I misremembered - it was Vincent Dragoch's thread. I'm sorry that I was short with you.
