4 riding will be fun, if you ever go battle you could steal horsy and have fun :D
So the new response to ranged ragers is not "get a shield", it is "learn to chamber ranged nub!"

That build looks good to me. 4 Power throw is really nice. Mess around on the damage calculator; 4 PT and loomed Heavy Throwing axes can kill many people with 2-3 axes, whereas 2 PT with franciscas or war darts won't be killing anyone but peasants.

I say if you can't get up to crossbow damage, don't bother with throwing, just grab an xbow. 4 PT is where you start to match crossbow damage, with a higher rate of fire (less ammo and range though).

Unfortunately I'm really wedded to 3-slot polearms, so crossbow is out, but thanks for the tip.

I bring 1 stack of heavy throwing axes all the time, and I save the last one to use in melee mode if I need to break a shield.

Unrelated, but I always thought a hoplite with 7 PT would be really fun. A shield and 3 throwing lances, use one in melee mode (throwing lance has a very good melee mode). Put the shield on your back when you want to sideswing. Pretty well-suited for a lot of situations.

There's a bit more to it than just raw damage.

You can throw 3-6 weapons in the time an xbow can shoot once, and on the move too.

Noted, but if you have to unload your entire stack of war darts or whatever to equal the damage of one crossbolt bolt, you'd be better off with the crossbow (even if you didn't have a slot for the bolts, since you get 1 bolt with the xbow).

Alright, here's the final iteration. I'm dropping riding because I don't think my polearm of choice will be suited to it, and raising the intended level to 34 (big grind I know) so I don't have any left over stats. Some day, this will be me!:

Code: (NAKED FANATIC mini-throw) [Select]
Level:           34

Strength:        33
Agility:         12

Skill to attr:   12

Power Strike:    11
Athletics:        4
Power Throw:      4
Weapon Master:    4

Polearm:        136
Throwing:        57

You dont need much wpf for throwing. I would also recomend War Darts over franciscas. Good for hunting archers.

Nice build!
