Try a Multi Ability Dependent(Mad)class, such as a melee bard, a battle oracle, a shapeshifter druid, etc.
With stats like that, you can afford a good primary casting stat AND good combat viability. Don't go for a bad BAB class, you would waste all the fun of this versatility. If you like being the wizard, try a magus, they can cast most good wizard evocation spells AND are amazing fighting machine. Or try a Bard, or even a combat oriented Summoner if you are more in the God mage thing. Illusion, buff and enchantment for the bard, conjuration and buff for the summoner. You will be almost as good at casting, but much more funny at low level and able to stand a melee fight.

Magus is a bit of a glass cannon.
Actually, I would consider a Lizardfolk Fated Champion Skald.
You would be a great buffer, skill monkey, and just murder-crazy when cornered.
In fact, the idea of the Lizardfolk, raising his spear into the air, singing the epic battle songs to inspire his allies into a murderous fury, just sounds awesome.
Goblin alchemist would be fun with that line up. They even have their own archetype, though being reliant on fire can be really awful.
The feral gnasher(Barbarian Archetype) can be pretty nasty. I've used it as an NPC a few times and its pretty gnarly. If your gm provides a dex for damage feat for natural attacks or Agile Amulet of mighty fist you'll want that.
Fun story, cool build.
Shame the Eldritch heritage doesn't work the way you think. I see the logic you are using, but it rests on a very dubious interpretation.
You treat your sorcerer level as character level - 2 ALWAYS.
Yes, it says you can add your DD levels to sorcerer levels. And technically the EH feat only excludes sorcerer levels
Blood of Dragons should have said DD levels count as sorcerer levels for the purpose of determining your bloodline powers or something like that.
It doesn't, but the intent of the EH feat is obviously that your sorcerer level is CL-2. Even if you have levels in sorcerer or effects that add to your sorcerer level.
Doubt your reading would fly at any table.
Nevertheless, that would just postpone your strength gains and still makes this an awesome build.
My group is rolling for stats for a game we're playing in about a month. The idea was to create "diversity". I was a little apprehensive, until I rolled, before everyone's eyes, a 14, 15, 16, 16, 16, and 17. I was thinking about playing a wizard, because I usually do, but is there something else that would better meet this character's potential? I'd like to play a goblin, because they're hard to hit and fast, but I am open to any suggestions.
Why do we never get any posts where people naturally rolled poorly, I wonder? That's why we never roll - the exceptional rolls always create unbalanced characters while the poor rolls always seem to get discarded in favor of 'new concepts'...
I'd consider playing a Sorcerer, perhaps Draconic or Orcish bloodline, maybe re-flavored to fit your concept. It'd make for a really versatile gish. Maybe a straight Sorcerer to Dragon Disciple?
Another great option would be to build a Summoner who fights alongside (or mounted upon) his Eidolon. Of course, that can be a very, very powerful character levels 1-20 and your group might indeed feel a bit over-shadowed.

One minor tweak to what you said - when/if the character gains Greater Eldritch Heritage, his sorcerer level then equals his character level without the modifier. Otherwise, you're absolutely correct.

i would have to agree, you count your sorcerer levels for the purpose of determining the effect(or how effective) that the powers have, not what you have unlocked, and thus doesn't stack with DD.

Correct.

The problem is, as written, it works exactly the way I laid it out. Sorceror level = character level minus 2, from feat check. DD adds to sorceror level for determining the effects of bloodline powers means that your level for determining your bloodline powers is: character level minus two plus dragon disciple. A PFS GM must follows rules as written.
Totally isn't intended to do so, and I personally house rule that it adds up to a maximum of your character level. Of course, as written, Dragon Disciple doesn't stack with bloodrager levels nor require a bloodrager to even have the draconic bloodline, which is a major oversight in the hybrid class explanations in the ACG.
I finally figured out how to get a level 20+ sorceror and bloodrager bloodline:
Bloodrager 1, Sorceror 1, Arcanist 18 (Bloodline development exploit) with a cloak of arcane heritage. Which could be a totally cool use for the goblin if they're both Abyssal. +6 inherent to strength, +10 morale to strength while bloodraging...mmm...wizard EATS you.
A dragon disciple adds his level to his sorcerer levels when determining the powers gained from his bloodline.

You gain either the 3rd-level or the 9th-level power (your choice) of the bloodline you selected with the Eldritch Heritage feat. For purposes of using that power, treat your sorcerer level as equal to your character level – 2, even if you have levels in sorcerer."
they don't stack
