Since they hit Intimidate to Demoralize with the big nerf bat, is there any real use in spending a feat slot on either of these feats? Is there a way to reliably stack fear effects outside of spells anymore?

Eh? What nerf bat?
Oh, the This demoralization effect can't be used to make them frightened thing. That's not what I was thinking demoralization was being used for honestly, haha.
I think the melee characters giving a group of people the penalties for shaken for a turn or two, combined with the rest of the chain for deadly stroke are fun to have for a fighter.
Dazzling Display seems very RPable too, which isn't always true for feats.
"Let it be known that you don't face any sword today, but Malthindor! Oblivion's Blade!"

Yeah, what nerf bat?
Letting the effect stack with other fear sources would be cheesey-broken, given how utterly devastating the Frightened condition is, and how there are multiple sources for applying shakened at first level.
Weapon Focus (ray) + Dazzling Display is an absolute favorite tactic of my Half-Orc Orc-Bloodline Sorcerer, and straight Intimidate is very handy at levels 1-3.
