So the Dragon Style and Dragon Ferocity adds additional damage from your strength to unarmed strikes, Feral Combat Training lets you use feats that alter unarmed strikes effect one natural weapon, power attack treats primary natural attacks that use 1.5 strength the same way it treats two-handed weapons. Would this feat combination allow extra damage from power attack to be dealt by the selected natural attacks, if primary? What about the natural attacks that now add x2 strength? Would they deal more damage with Power Attack? Feats descriptions below:

Linked it for you. I know that if you flurry that it wouldn't work since natural weapons will do 1/2 strength modifier on such an attack.
If you were attacking with just the natural weapons I would think that it could work the way you state.

Oh no, I would use this combo with the unarmed fighter, playing as a changeling with the Adopted and Tusked traits to have both claws and bite. Still no idea as to how the power attack feat would interact with an attack that adds x2 damage from strength. Possibly +100% damage rather than the +50% a 1.5 weapon does?
How are you getting x2 strength?

You're getting 1.5x strength, and then additional bonus damage equal to 0.5x strength. That may sound nitpicky, but it matters. Here's an example:
You have a strength of 20 (+5 bonus). With the way the feats currently work, your first unarmed strike would deal 9 bonus damage (FLOOR(5*1.5)+FLOOR(5*0.5)). If the feats actually gave you 2x bonus, you'd deal 10 bonus damage.
Even if it did actually give you 2x damage, you still wouldn't get to invent a new power attack ratio. You'd just use the best fit.
Also note that your unarmed attacks after the first do not qualify for the 3:1 power attack ratio because, again, the extra damage from Dragon Ferocity is different than increasing the strength multiplier (as Dragon Style does).
The x2 strength would be when making a full attack with natural weapons only, and as Dragon style would add an strength .5 to the first attack and Dragon Ferocity would add an additional .5 strength to the attack as well, you would now have a x2 strength, and the others would have x1.5 as they are primary attacks effected by the feat.

Dragon Ferocity does not increase your Strength damage multiplier. It adds extra bonus damage equal to half of your Strength. Your initial attack is still at a 1.5x multiplier and your additional flurry attacks are at 1x multiplier. Both your initial and additional attacks then get bonus damage equal to half your Strength. This is a different thing than getting 2x and 1.5x Strength to damage.
This is odd in that 1.5x strength, is different than 1x + .5x strength. I might be inclined to believe you, if the feat stated something such as this additional damage is not effected by a critical, but it does not. I see no difference, in the two.
What, you never had a seven year itch?
