Insightful Swordmage, simple clarification

Although I 100% support Intelligent Javelinmasters, when you build one with the Character Builder only your melee attack with javelins use your Int. So there goes that idea! But you still get your Int with melee attacks, so use whatever melee weapon you like if it floats your boat.

The more I look over it, with Intelligent Blademaster as a feat there's really no need to boost strength. For example: I love Burning Blade as the Level 1 Daily, but it is best in a big fight where you can get it off early to make it best. Frost Backlash will some times simply be better and doesn't require strength for anything. Greenflame Blade is a great At-Will when facing minions, but more than a +1 strength bonus isn't really needed. The next attack using strength for damage is at Level 13 (Acid Burst Blade).

There are a number of powers where CON is very helpful and either one helps your Fortitude Defense.

Str 13 is also handy to pick up Hide armor, and give you more options for multiclassing (Fighter, Ranger, Warlord, probably Barbarian... no idea what you're doing MC'ing over to any of these but options are options). Since you'll likely have CON 15 by paragon you can get Hide Spec too.
