Originally, I felt like you were going out of your way to dislike the feat -- and I still kind of do. I agree that the text is hilariously poorly written, but take a step back for a minute and remember power attack -- it's a relatively minor effort to figure this out.
But when I actually started rewriting the feat, I saw something I'd completely forgotten about.

In addition, the bonus damage from this feat is doubled on a critical hit, before it’s multiplied by the weapon’s critical multiplier.
I have to wonder what the thought process that lead to this was. Was the bonus damage not good enough? The ability to ignore the penalty for one entire minute too weak? The feat already makes Furious FocusM obsolete. [/cringe]
That said, though, to the naysayers, I say: have a little faith. Nobody's perfect and they're trying their best. I'm confident it'll get there one way or another.
