Well, for maximum cheese there's the shadow enchantment, shadow evocation, and shadow conjuration spells that give you access to all sorcerer/wizard spells below a certain level...but that might be a bit much. (The Shadow patron will get you a couple of these, as a note.)
If you aren't willing to go that far, haste is probably one of the big bread-and-butter spells in my group that witches don't have.
Invisibility is another one that can have a lot of uses depending on a group's play style, and the image spells are as good as your imagination (and close cooperation with the GM) make them.

Greater Invisibility. You can get Haste or Invisibility from your patron if you so desire, but the only thing close to Greater Invis is the 6th level spell Mislead. If you don't get them form your patron, Haste and Invisibility are good choices, of course. Maybe round it up with Wall of Force or something.
If you want it cheesy (which I presume you do, as you're taking the most overpowered racial trait in all of Pathfinder), you can get them from the cSummoner list (with Maze to round it up).
The Steel Refrain |
Generally agree with the foregoing suggestions favouring defensive options like Mirror Image and Greater Invisibility over offensive ones, as this rounds out the weaknesses in the Witch list.
For the record, in reference to your other thread, I still think the Oracle concept was feasible, and a better fit for the healing and condition removal options your group appears to need.

As avr said Witches are missing a lot of the defensive staples, Mirror image and Invisibility are the main ones.
Depending on which Patron is picked, they do get access to those spells. I'm not saying they shouldn't take them (so they can get a Patron whose bonus spells are harder to acquire), but that if they're using Mystic Past Life for spells already acquired through a Patron, it's kind of a waste.
The best thing for them to do is to compare what Patron offers which spells they can't normally cast, select the one they want the most, and then shore up other spells they like from other Patrons with the spells gained from Mystic Past Life.
