As the title asks. Which bloodrager bloodlines would be the best mechanical fit with the Eldritch Scion Magus using Dex as their attack stat? As a class with a different focus then the bloodrager, and often times a different attack stat(Dex as appose to Str), what bloodrager I'm not sure which bloodlines would work the best mechanically with the Eldritch Scion? Certain options which are good on the str based Bloodrager, like Draconic, seemingly would be wasted on a dex-based eldritch scion. Even further, certain bloodlines, like arcane, become less spectacular without access to the bloodrager's bonus feats(Arcane for not being able to pick up stuff like disruptive until higher levels.) So with all that in mind I'm turning to all of you. If I where to make a dex-based, dervish-dancing eldritch scion which bloodlines should I look into?
Any advice on this would be appreciated!
My first thought was an ifrit with the elemental (fire) bloodline. I don't have much concrete advice past that, sorry; the magus isn't my specialty.
Good luck!

With the Arcane bloodline, you can self-buff with the Mystic Focus ability you get just by turning the ability on. It's something you normally can't do, since Eldritch Scions lack the Greater & Mighty Bloodrage features that Bloodragers get. Turning on Blur or Haste as a swift action sounds like a good deal.
So, Arcane is still a good choice.

Destined is also very nice. Huge bonuses to attacks several times a day, boosts to all Saves and AC (especially if you've got Fate's Favored), and rerolls, are all excellent abilities. Defying death and especially auto-confirming crits are also ridiculous if you get to them.
Arcane and Elemental are also solid though (Arcane more than Elemental).
I think Fey isn't bad. Couple extra utility spells to you list, plus free haste eventually and a nice aftereffect of criting, which with a dervish dancer magus you will want to be doing anyway. Cunfusion isn't the best aliment, but it's better than nothing. Flavor angle is nice too, you can play up the spritely zippy guy/girl.

Ehhhh, the Blur and Haste you get earlier and better with Arcane. Confusion isn't a bad addition, but I don't think it makes up for how bad the 8th and 12th level powers are comparatively.
I'm going to throw my hat into the ring for Aberrant, just because gaining reach is REALLY strong as a Magus. It allows you to Spell Combat out of reach of most medium (and some large) opponents. And it's 1st level power isn't terrible.
