I've got an Eagle Shaman druid I've mothballed at the verge of 2nd for PFS because I'm not entirely sure where I'm heading with it. The character's almost entirely focused on the Eagle as a combatant, with fly speed to cover ground, three natural attacks that will eventually get the Agile amulet of mighty fists, and pumping all resources possible into Dexterity. It also gets a +1 effective level bump from the Huntmaster feat (Human, ARG).
I really like the handy divination spells the companion allows, and the Eldritch claws ability is very cool, but is it worth surrendering Evasion? I'm not certain. The flavor is excellent, the combat sacrifice hard to judge, especially since Multiattack is pretty useless in this case and Eldritch claws probably gives a better benefit. Spiritual Guidance is a good scaling ability; all sorts of nifty divinations through to sixth spellcaster level that I can use whenever they present themselves without prep.
Has anyone ever used this archetype, or any companion archetype for that matter?
