Wow, this thread has some good advice for a chain wielder. 
I agree with the basic suggestions- being large is great if you have a spiked chain, Improved Trip is a must, and I'm gonna come down on the side of getting EWP: Spiked Chain ASAP.
There was a spiked chain wielder imc a couple of years ago (Sith was his name), and he kicked a lot of serious ass. One homebrewed feat I have that he took really accentuated his combat style: Sidestep (trade AoO for an extra 5' step; since revised to 1/round). Another- called Lock-Step- let him follow a 5' step with one of his own if he hadn't moved for a round.
