Overpowered.
Ok, probably not but seeing how it's recommended over Rogue whom already deals 700+ with it's attacks as well as having a key place in the party (trapseeker/social) to knock a solid class like that down you know something is iffy about it. At first glance it seems, well, lame. Also it's not very theurgic (sp/what word am I wanting here?). It has Ninja Dodge! and Ninja Speed! but poor reflexes and no evasion.
Seeing how I want to say "just play an unarmed swordsage" it's probably balanced, the ToB is supposed to be better than the rest of the base melee classes.
