Your suggested build is excellent, IMHO. Ftr4/Pal2/Templar 1/DD X is an excellent idea. If there's any chance you'll go epic, I'd take three more levels of templar and finish DD; it scales nicely into epic levels.
I agree with Gez: Any class that doesn't grant +1 BAB is useless for your character concept, IMHO.
Incidentally, there is one bit of cheese that I can recommend (and that would work with your overall character concept): If you can burn a feat on Cosmopolitan (FR) or some similar feat that turns a cross-class skill into a class skill, I might recommend taking a level of warrior skald (Races of Faerun, p.186-188) either instead of templar or during your DD progression. Warrior skald gives you good Fort and Reflex saves and all bardic music abilities for which you have sufficient ranks to qualify. Since you'll have run out of DD levels before you hit 20th, this may be a worthwhile option.
