Help: Regulated Power Supply

Will the circuit work satisfactorily by adding the following changes:

1. extra diode(in4001) in the base connection of short circuit protection transistor Q2.

2. add one more diode in series to existing diodes(reference) or replace the three diodes using a 2.5V reference like LM336

3. recalculate the output voltage divider

4. forget the above and just use a three terminal regulator like LM317 or its higher current brothers
