These two in combination intrigue me, but I'm not sure how best to combo them for effectiveness - in terms of what classes and other periphery feats to take.
Seems to me that any goblin build with both of them is going to lean on Weapon Finesse and an Agile weapon, so lets presume that as a starting point. (or Monk and an Agile Might Fists amulet)
What's the best route to max this combo's potential? Any ideas? My first pass seems like Monk is the way to go.

I was looking at crane style in conjunction with this, Making an OA/charge attack build
Level 1 Skill focus (acro)
and if antihero is allowed, acrobatic
Alternate racial trait gives you a +4 to acrobatics checks, +6 with your dex bonus
so then you put your base (Non racial) dex to an 18,
+21 dex at level 1, before skill ranks. 25 after.
I'd start off fighter ;), get weapon finesse.
Then for good fun, http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/torch-bearer-combat, and Burn Burn Burn. if you can spare the feats you can make some brutal TWF builds with this, after getting the essential feats of course, you're free to put the rest of your build into rogue(scout) or alchemist(vivisectionist) for added delight.
you wind up (If small sized) with 1d6(+1+1d4 fire) 18-20 light weapons
There are a few traits that do a lot, one is catch off guard for a specific improvised weapon, one is +2 to attack with improvised weapons, and one is +2 to damage against flat footed. Get some reliable disarm.
essentially you negate 25+1d20 damage per turn at level 1 (And allowing you to interrupt an enemy's full attack action). Making you a tank early game.
Your AC should be pretty decent with this build too, Eventually you'd wind up as a mid-tier AC Mid-high Damage utility character. Which means you're viable on the battlefield but have some benefits in the open.
Roll With It is an awesome feat, I've used it and loved it. Tangle Feet...is too hard to get to work for too little payoff and requires a TON of bad feats; I'd avoid it...possibly via Roll With It.
In any case, I used Roll With It on a goblin Vivisectionist Beastmorph Alchemist. Fought with natural weapons and an Agile AoMF. Wings allowed me to roll with it...vertically safely. Then at level 10, pounce meant I could partial charge back into melee and get a full attack. Worked quite well, and it's just really fun to turn damage into skyward launch momentum.
