I was thinking more along the lines of using improved trip to get extra attacks with the ritiik weapon from Frostburn. Every time you hit an opponent, they make a reflex save based on the damage dealt. If they fail, you get a free trip attempt. If you trip them, you can both deal damage with your free attack and attempt to trip them again...
