I think the OP is focusing on too much on the stat bonuses and not, what really matters, the attacks an abilities.

At level 4, the druid wild shapes into a Deinonychus, getting 2 talons at 1d8, a bite 1d6, and claws claws 1d4. Thats four attacks, at level four, how is that not strong!?!?

At level 6, the druid becomes a dire tiger and gets 2 claws at 2d4, a bite 2d6, so thats three attacks, and they each get a free grapple check, i mean how is that not strong?

So, you are happy with:
a mount charging,
mount attacks an opponent,
player does a fast dismount (DC20 free action if successful),
player takes a 5' step,
player gets full round attack on opponent,
player gets +2 to each attack, -2 to ac as his mount charged?

He might not get last line as he is technically no longer mounted which is why we are arguing he can full round attack (in this example) in the first place.

"If you make an attack at the end of the charge, you receive the bonus gained from the charge. "

If you dismount and attack, its not at the end of the charge it is after the charge

I don't think you can really use the wording of a feat, to say, while on a mount while charging, the mounted character is making a charge action. Despite what the feat says, the rules for mounted combat state:

If your mount charges, you also take the AC penalty associated with a charge. If you make an attack at the end of the charge, you receive the bonus gained from the charge. When charging on horseback, you deal double damage with a lance (see Charge).

None of this implies that a charge action is being used. Futhermore the charge action requirements, are impossible to complete while mounted.

For example to get the mount to charge a move action is required if a ride check is failed. So if the rider was using a charge action, he no longer has a move action to control his mount. see

Control Mount in Battle: As a move action, you can attempt to control a light horse, pony, heavy horse, or other mount not trained for combat riding while in battle. If you fail the Ride check, you can do nothing else in that round. You do not need to roll for horses or ponies trained for combat.

I just assume the feats are poorly worded, as that is more likely than the rules for mounted combat being completely wrong
