I suppose things can differ by DM, but I've known several DMs who consider leaders to be priority targets. And depending on the rest of your party (I usually assume low/no op unless otherwise stated), if you go down the party may have no other methods of recovery. It's worth noting that a Runepriest|Ranger isn't going to have great hp progression and it's not going to have the surges to make it through many encounters if it's just going to rely on soaking damage.
I should also add that I'm considering the whole run to level 10. 3-4 temps is huge at level 1, but not nearly as good at level 9-10. This is where its nice to have to option of picking up some better defenses.
I'm just saying any of the three hybrids I suggested can easily get better AC if they need it. Cleric gets it for free and the other two spend one feat. They have better survivability than the Ranger hybrid, and can actually be leaders instead of a watered-down ranger with minimal leading ability.

Well I remade it as fighter(brawler)|runepriest for more AC and unarmed attacks. Also now it has some controlls. Still it will be MC Cleric.
Any suggestions how to buff up DPR for brawler? - Does Knockdown+Headsman chop will work?
Dual Strike vs Slash and Pummel - which one to choose? - I think SnP better since it cover Ref saves and always deals avrage dmg for gauntlet without actually having it... does it mean that this attack doesnt get any bonuses from Enchanted gauntlet?
And does Redcoak stack with Brawler Guard for AC and ref bonus?

Unfortunately brawlers are probably the worst of all fighter builds in terms of damage. I suppose you can use Headman's Chop in conjunction with pin down and other things, but that's a lot of feat investment for not a huge return. And I would not use Knockdown Assault if the goal is to do damage.
I'm not sure what you mean by Redcoak, but you can tell if bonuses stack by their type. You can only benefit from one shield bonus, power bonus, etc. at a time. If it's an untyped bonus it stacks with anything. Brawler Guard is a shield bonus, and the Brawler style bonus (that you need to spend Hybrid Talent for) is untyped.
The benefit of Dual Strike is that it lets you mark two targets. As for Slash and Pummel, having a magic spiked gauntlet will help the second attack be more accurate (unless you take Brawler Style, in which case you will have an automatic enhancement bonus), but won't add damage to it.

Ah, Red Cloak is an untyped bonus so it stacks with anything. Except itself I guess, if you used an AP to do it twice in one turn.
