What exactly does this mean?
Perform a series of cuts upon the flesh while periodically auto-asphyxiating. Gain a +4 profane bonus on all effects linked to slashing damage.
It's either really, really good (+4 to slashing damage?), or really, really bad (+4 to uh... I don't know?).

"effects linked to slashing damage". Hmm... I don't think the actual slashing damage is an effect linked to slashing damage. But let's see:
- It should add +4 to the DC of poisons delivered with a slashing weapon.
- And +4 to things like Intimidate checks that are triggered when scoring a hit.

It's really good no matter how you read it, as it should apply not only to poison's(which +4 to DC is a HUGE boost), but also to any ability or spell you use that deals slashing damage. Dazing assault would have its DC raised by 4 which is awesome, and there are a large amount of other effects you can use weapons for(especially if you have a ki weapon to deal your stunning fist/etc with). For a Brawler I would say this feat is amazing as long as you don't make it do nothing(and by that I mean your GM isn't a butt).
