I'd dump the points in Dex since your only benefit is on Dex skills and Initiative. You'll get a much better benefit by putting those 3 points towards Str or Int.

For a tactical human Warlord, I'd probably go STR 16, CON 14, DEX 10, INT 16, WIS 10, CHA 11 and concentrate on getting Int-based powers instead of Cha.

 

[Geek-Zilla]

I appreciate the input. The reason for the higher DEX, is I want to later get the Blade Opportunist Feat and Armor Proficiency (Scale) in the Heroic Tier. Going forward, I'll need to also increase DEX for Armor Specialization (Scale), Shield Specialization, and Heavy Blade Opportunity at the Paragon Tier, and at the Epic Tier I want Heavy Blade Mastery.

My stats would develop as such:

LEVEL 1 11 21 28
STR 16 18 21 22
CON 13 15 16 16
DEX 13 15 17 17
INT 14 16 18 20
WIS 11 12 13 13
CHA 13 14 15 16

I like that you switched from Comeback Strike to Villain's Menace.

Ioreck - Human Fighter 1

Str 16 +3
Con 16 +3
Dex 14 +2
Int 10 +0
Wis 12 +1
Cha 10 +0

HP: 31; Bloodied: 15; Healing Surges: 12; Healing Per Surge: 7
AC 17 Fort 16 Refl 13 Will 12
Size: Medium; Speed: 5
Alignment: Unaligned; Deity: Kord; Languages: Common

Skills: Athletics, Endurance, Heal, Streetwise
Feats: Potent Challenge, Weapon Focus (Heavy Blade)
Class Features: Combat Challenge, Combat Superiority, Fighter Weapon Talent (2-handed)

At-Will Powers: Cleave, Reaping Strike, Sure Strike
Encounter Powers: Passing Attack
Daily Powers: Brute Strike

Equipment: Falchion, Scale Armor, Standard Adventurer’s Kit, Climber’s Kit
Wealth: 13gp

Falchion:
Basic Atk + 7; 2d4 + 4 (crit 2d4 + 12) damage
Opportunity Atk + 8; 2d4 + 7 (crit 2d4 + 15) damage

Again looks good. I'm curious as to the choice of Falchion as opposed to Greatsword.

I find it interesting with the two fighter builds presented here, both chose two-handed weapons and passed on using shield. I guess if it's dead....it can't hit you anyway.
