Then WF heavy blades is much weaker than wp bastardsword, if you have only one feat left. One gives a little bonus and the other increases the dice that is multiplied.

Sort of. The bonus from weapon focus scales with tier. So when you have a decent number of 2w or more powers, you're probably pretty close to getting +2 from focus. And characters using more multi-target or Burst powers (which typically have lower w multiples even at higher levels) will get more from focus almost all the time.
Plus, you might not be using a bastard sword... Sure, the longsword upgrades natually into the bs. However, if you want some of the other features from other weapons, then focus is the way to go.

Ok, decided to try my hand on this anyway. here's what I got so far. Need some input/tips on a few things.
Feats: Got a few open spots, but not sure what to take. Suggestions?
Magic items: What are good for ranged focus ranger? Cant find that many things.. Considering to make the 17level item a +4magic armor.
Still quite a bit of other stuff to fluff out, but so far so good.

I don't think skills start with a base of +10. Being trained is worth 5.
As far as items go, you're right in that there doesn't seem to be any options for your armor as a level 17 item. You could go vanilla magic armor as your 16 and then pick up a Cloak of Resistance (get Resist 10 for a turn once a day) or Elven Cloak +4 (+4 Stealth, but you don't have Stealth). You could also pick some level 17 other item and then buy the enhancement bonus with cash (possibly not leaving much cash left over for other items). As far as lower level stuff goes, an item to boost speed is cheap for a light armor character. Back up melee weapons might be good to have.
Hmm, feats. Agile Athlete helps your Acro and Ath, so it'd be useful for dealing with terrain and escaping grabs. Danger Sense improves your initiative. Fleet of Foot increases the speed advantage you have going with Elf and Running Shot. Uncanny Dodge seems good, and helps with running. Sly Hunter is a nice untyped damage boost for your attacks, but might be tricky to use - Dalamar's character has pretty good pushing moves that might help set you up though, but none of them push 3, so movement would also be required. There's the defense boosting feats. You have the Con for Hide Specialization. Elven Precision does seem good.
So there's a lot of options that are potentially useful. Armor Specialization seems solid all around, since it boosts AC and many of your skills. Plus you might as well put that Con to use. But you have some good combinations for a few different ways.
Note that having a Divine Oracle in the group makes everyone within 5 squares immune to surprise, so the level 6 utility you have might not be worth it. Strangely, a more selfish power choice might be better for the group.
--------------------------------------
Right now, I think I'm actually leaning more towards the cleric. The ranged AE powers seem like they'd be useful since we're probably going to be outnumbered.
