So the wind domain states the following from d20PFSrd:
Wind Blast (Su): As a standard action, you can unleash a blast of air in a 30-foot line. Make a combat maneuver check against each creature in the line, using your caster level as your base attack bonus and your Wisdom modifier in place of your Strength modifier. Treat the results as a bull rush attempt. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Would that interact with improved bull rush and greater bull rush?
Improved Bull Rush (Combat)
You are skilled at pushing your foes around.
Prerequisite: Str 13, Power Attack, base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when performing a bull rush combat maneuver. In addition, you receive a +2 bonus on checks made to bull rush a foe. You also receive a +2 bonus to your Combat Maneuver Defense whenever an opponent tries to bull rush you.
Normal: You provoke an attack of opportunity when performing a bull rush combat maneuver.
Greater Bull Rush (Combat)
Your bull rush attacks throw enemies off balance.
Prerequisites: Improved Bull Rush, Power Attack, base attack bonus +6, Str 13.
Benefit: You receive a +2 bonus on checks made to bull rush a foe. This bonus stacks with the bonus granted by Improved Bull Rush. Whenever you bull rush an opponent, his movement provokes attacks of opportunity from all of your allies (but not you).
I've posted all the info I could from d20pfsrd, but I am curious if the wording of the wind domain power excludes the use of bull rush feats on it...?

That is interesting...so if we follow that Zahariel, would that mean the +2 bonus to bull rush attempts wouldn't apply, but the movement part of greater bull rush would force enemies moved by this power take attacks of opprotunity?
No, you aren't making a Bull Rush attempt. You are making a CMB vs CMD check. Take the result of that, the difference by which you win or lose, and use the rules under Bull Rush to determine the result (e.g. number of squares moved).
At no point are you actually doing a Bull Rush. The rules are just referencing another set of rules so it doesn't have to duplicate text.
