Hyp, good point about Hold The Line -- though in my experience, PCs don't get charged very often (except maybe the rogue when he leaves himself wide open). Depends on the campaign and DM though.
And maybe with the big nerf to Boots of Standard Equipment the PCs will charge less and be charged more.
The choice between feats depends on your party tactics, really. If you have a monk or other single-character stunner, you might want Expert Tactician to get in the extra attack. (And consider Improved Feint to self-sufficiently create those opportunities.) If you have a caster who's going to Sound Burst or otherwise deny lots of opponents their Dex bonus to AC, Whirlwind is nice to have.
