Taming Sampire or Warrior...possible?

Taming Sampire.... well with the bush you can control a lesser hiryu. There is the old standby of taming archer, but it is POSSIBLE to swap out archery for another weapon skill. I emphasize possible because its a terrible idea. I would run taming, lore, vet, weapon, tactics, and anatomy and chiv.
I tested a few versions of tamer/warrior/necromancer hybrids a few years back.
Here was my template:
90 taming
90 lore
90 vet
100 necromancy
120 swords
100 tactics
80 chivalry
50 anatomy
The skills could certainly be fine tuned a lot... I was just messing around when I tried this template.
The results:
With a pack of hell hounds, if I attacked anything first it died quickly. It was even good for things like key collecting in Bedlam, but I had to frequenly ressurect my hell hounds if Sir Patrick re-targetted after an area effect. But for gold collecting (i.e. Miasma), it was the fastest kills I had seen in UO.
With a rune beetle/bake kitsune combination, things still died quickly, and even area-effect creatures couldn't stop me. It was still difficult to keep my pets alive against area-effect using opponents. Peerless was possible, but difficult.
So I went back to the easier "standard" version of the Sampire, and back to the mage-tamer.

I did something similar to what Farsight did, but I had lower taming / lore and used Frenzied Ostards.
DPS is unmatched by anything else and sampire can tank the damage easily.
Only problem is anything with an area effect kills the ostards quickly because their HP is low and resists are poor.

Just junk I had laying about... nothing special.
It was pre-imbuing, all 70's with HCI and DCI thrown in. I don't even think I had HPI or extra stats.
One fun thing to do is if you have 2 accounts, or a friend that has taming, is use your sampire to tank Rikktor. Once you have all the aggro, have your buddy put 5 frenzied ostards on it.
They hit so fast (even though dmg isn't uber) that it disrupts Rikki from ever Earthquaking. Works best if you have HLD going off and ozzies are fully trained.

Here's template/suit I'm currently creating...
110 Taming
110 Lore
100 Vet
120 Fencing
100 Tactics
100 Chiv
100 Necro
50 Bushido (for Feint)
My suit I'm building would give me 70/70/70/70/75; 45% DCI; 40% HCI; 130 HPs; 150 stamina; 50+ mana; 20% LMC; +10% Swing Speed (Animated Legs); 30% HLD (Mace and Shield). Not amazing, but I have to sacrifice a bit to fit all the stats skils in.
I would use a imbued leafblad with 40%+ HLA.
The strategy would be to send in my Greater Dragon, then follow-up attack with my leafblade using feint to significantly reduce damage.
Of course, the alternative would be to drop Bushido, go with Swords and dump the extra points into something like Spirit Speak for Curse Weapon.
Thoughts? Am I missing anything?

Feint will only reduce the damage done to you, not your greater dragon. If the greater dragon has all the aggro you won't need necro. If you have all the aggro you will not have parry or armored swamp dragon to reduce the damage to yourself. You won't be able to chain Feint/AI with that suit either.
What are you planning to use this character for? It sounds fun for the possibility of teaming with a rune beetle while riding swamp dragon, or sending in rune beetle + nightmare/bake after you get aggro.
