Why the heck would you be in Gmof with such character ?
Go Fury ( HP , dps and CC ), there is no synergy with Gmof whatsoever.
Just twist Dance of flowers.
It can't be much worse than whatever twf there.
Go Fury
Get prowess, Pale Lav is swap item.
Maybe get 30 amp parry bracers ( you got all way charisma for saves then you don't slot 4 insight saves ..

)
Nice saves but whole concept of overkill defences is not gonna help you kill shit faster.
Go Fury .
I took gmof specifically for the no auto fail saves shit, but also enjoy the saves boost, 10% fort bypass, ghost touch, and extra 1.5W while centered. I'm sure a better melee destiny might boost dps but will the auto fail 1s cause deaths with such low drow hp? Id hate to be laid out for 10 seconds from a greater command or comet and tick away slowly from some dot with such low hp.
I came to the same conclusion after I posted and want the prowess for the +3 con and the bonus, since my default weps are dual celestia.
If i can find a 10 con 50 hp ring, and move dex somewhere else, that bracer is a great idea if i can also find that.

more survivability? drop 1 pally and 2 fvs. put 3 more into monk for shadow fade (and maybe extra dodge? I don't remember)
Go a little farther into shintao and have +15 PRR in earth stance.
more dps? choose a better destiny. i like LD on my melee fvs, twisting in primal scream, dance of flowers and either grim precision or sense weakness.
get cleave, great cleave and OC (assuming you hit the 23 str requirement). Toughness and mental toughness? Why?
try to fit in at least the 3rd tier of monk stances, to get the extra +1 crit multi from earth stance. with 6 monk, that's only 1 more feat, since you get adept for free.
Those are some sexy boots. I want some like that.
I remember taking that extra 15 prr on my monk, but overlooked it here. Good call, I will definitely fit that in. I thought I had some kind of reason for the 3rd pally level, but divine grace is 2 so I'm not sure what my intent was. Does Shadow Veil stack with EE ring of shadows, which is already providing a 25% disp?
I cant get close to the OC requirements without sacrificing from Cha. I had cleaves initially despite this, but ended up swapping them out for toughness and emp heal after seeing the drop in dps that using them caused and wanting more survivability. Overall I do like the idea of fitting in the higher tier stances and will heavily consider the 6 monk 2 pally concept. As noted previously, GMoF is pretty much chosen just to get the no auto fail saves from the Perfection of Self line. I'm getting the feeling that you guys don't really value that too much? I thought on a build with saves this high, that would be obligatory. Mental toughness was added cause i was afraid of running low on SP, but it really hasn't been an issue and I will drop it as you suggest, if i go 6 monk, to fit in the extra tier of stance.
If shadow veil DOES stack with ee r o shadows, and displacement, then it is mandatory.
I also could move some cha into str to make oc work but itl cost me SP, and Saves. If i took 3 of the cha level ups and put them in str, and got a +5 str tome I could be OC qualified, then would need to fit the cleaves back in, all while squeezing in the monk stance tiers. How much lower can I take my unbuffed saves while retaining their usefulness?
ee ring of shadows stacks with shadow veil?
lowest unbuffed saves that still nofail on a 2?
Is it ok to autofail on 1's with drow HP?
