What have I done... Options

I am facing the eternal choice we all must face...character creation
I know this subject has been beaten to death but it is still what we all must face over and over again. I have started at least 10 characters and still I have problems facing this choice. I want to make the best character I can, and one that I can enjoy and love to play. This time I am trying to make the best warrior I can.
Here is what I'm looking at.
He will be a Warrior, primarily a fighter but with the ability to cast, after all, every character must have some spell casting ability. Magic is dominate in this game. Most fighter types have a low Magicka/Intelligence level to start, that makes it hard.
He will be a Redguard, I like the starting stats and the Adrenline Rush is awesome.
Birthsign will be Warrior, for the strength and endurance boost. ( I did think about Mage to get the Magicka boost, but I chickened out)
Atributes, Strength ( easy choice) and Intelligence so I can get the bonuses for Intelligence skill-ups, this will help with the lack of starting Magicka.
Skills will be , obviously, Blade ; Block; Heavy Armor; Armorer
the next 3 choices are made based on everyone's personal preferences and opinion. I am looking at ,
Alchemy so I can make alot of quality restore Magicka and restore Health potions.
Destruction so I can get the monsters attention, for pulling and to open up the choices for enchanting.
Restoration for healing, even though the heals are weak, and for the shield spells and to get the 25 point starter as Restoration is so hard to level-up.
I will use all the other skills and will level them all up but my main concern is to not level my character too fast.
Everyone has their on perferences and opinion, but this is what I am looking at today to make a Warrior.
What do you think? What choices will hurt my character later in his life? What am I missing?
Thank you
and his name will be Jor-El ( father of Kal-El a.k.a Superman )

Olav is right that Alchemy will level you quickly as a main skill, but, it is a skill that I can control. To be used when I'm ready and in control of it. He is also right that to skill up Armorer asap in very crucial. I will be in control of my leveling, not completly but mostly.
I chose the skills like that because;
1) I will be useing Blunt only, until I'm ready to use the Blade
2) Restoratiojn and Destruction will not level up very fast as they are both hard to level up if they are not used alot
3)Alchemy is in my control
Heavy Armor and Block are not in my control as they will be used alot in every fight. These are what will level me the most. Armorer will be used alot as well and will help to level me up.
Now I have chosen Atronach for my Birthsign and while I do have the Magicka pool to use when needed, it appears that it will be a challange to master the art of dealing with no Magicka regeneration.
I'm at level 2 now and I think this will be an interesting character.

1) I will be useing Blunt only, until I'm ready to use the Blade

How does that make sence?You will need those cool blade perks at later levels.You will develop your strenght faster by using Blade.

2) Restoratiojn and Destruction will not level up very fast as they are both hard to level up if they are not used alot

Again:Why chosing them as primaryes if you don't want to use them often?I asure you that Restoration will be quite useful to you.Fortifying your attributes and healing yourself is CRUCIAL for a melee fighter.And Restoration is one of the hardest skills to develop,so be wise!

3)Alchemy is in my control

Yes it is.You will easyly max it out and make some uber potions and poisons.Most useful skill in the game IMO.Good for developing Intelligence too.

Heavy Armor and Block are not in my control as they will be used alot in every fight. These are what will level me the most. Armorer will be used alot as well and will help to level me up.

Actualy Block IS in your control.

Now I have chosen Atronach for my Birthsign and while I do have the Magicka pool to use when needed, it appears that it will be a challange to master the art of dealing with no Magicka regeneration.

I asked you can you handle it, didn't I?Max your Alchemy and make restore magicka potions of steel blue entaloma cap.To easyly aquire it,i suggest finishing the mage's guild storyline.All alchemy ingridients are easy to aquire that way If you need a list of ingridients to make magicka potions at lower perks,just ask.

I'm at level 2 now and I think this will be an interesting character.

It seems to me that you've been looking in those guides that encourage you not to level up.They also have that crap about oposite skill developing.Well i must tell you that it doesn't make the game intresting nor challenging.You will be bored.Besides some quests require high level,and the prizes are exelent

Relax,you'll do fine.Don't worry about your skills they will develop themselfs,you just take care about the attributes.Just develop some Endurance at start,and you've already done half the job.
