Now, for your average soldier or brute without a viabale range attack this is huge. Even if he still can charge somebody, it seriously hurts his attack options.

To me, knocking someone prone with an at will and two feats is just not balanced at all.
Except using this combination, the enemy ALWAYS ends up prone next to you, since you slide them into the space you just shifted out of. So they spend a move action to get up then a standard action hitting you. All you manage to do is prevent the enemy from attacking anyone except you. Which is a pretty good method of being a defender.
