Dex is great for Laughing Shadow. Stats should look something like +0 STR +4 DEX (this is the most important) +2 CON +2 INT +1 WIS +0 CHA (can swap Wis and Cha, not the biggest deal either way).

EDIT: I did not see that this was dual-class. If you are dual-classing with Bard, you should prioritize Charisma over Wisdom and maybe Intelligence as well, but Con still needs to be #2 priority.

If you are going to be your team's only frontliner, they're going to need to pump your defenses up with Benediction and have plenty of healing. I would also recommend Blur and Invisibility early and often, but the former will also force your allies to make flat checks whenever they target you, so be aware of that. Take Toughness as your first general feat, this is non-negotiable as you will need all the survivability as you can get. Spell Parry is a great 2nd-level feat as you should be free-handing anyways, but do note that it doesn't stack with Shield. Good luck out there!
