I have two questions about the defiant ability. The entry for defiant on a weapon says
"This special ability can only be placed on melee weapons. A defiant weapon helps its wielder stay alive in desperate conditions. It stays in its wielder's hand even if she is panicked, stunned, or unconscious. She adds the weapon's enhancement bonus as a bonus on checks to stabilize when dying and on saving throws to end ongoing conditions such as disease, poison, and hold person. If the wielder possesses Heroic Defiance, Heroic Recovery, Improved Great Fortitude, Improved Iron Will, or Improved Lightning Reflexes, she gains a number of additional daily uses equal to the weapon's enhancement bonus that can be used on any of these feats."
My question is specifically about the last sentence "If the wielder possesses Heroic Defiance, Heroic Recovery, Improved Great Fortitude, Improved Iron Will, or Improved Lightning Reflexes, she gains a number of additional daily uses equal to the weapon's enhancement bonus that can be used on any of these feats" and how it interacts with multiple feats. For example, say I have a straight +3 sword and I have the feats Improved Iron Will and Improved Lightning Reflexes - do I get 3 additional uses for EACH feat OR is it 3 additional uses that is divided up amongst the two feats however I decide to use them?
Also, Would a Paladin's divine bond (which grants a temporary enhancement bonus to the sword) give me additional uses of the defiant reroll ability while the divine bond ability is active. I.e. if the sword goes from a +3 to a +5 for 10 minutes, would I gain an extra 2 uses of defiant while the ability is active or would I still only have the 3 additional uses?

I agree with Jeff in his assessment.
You have a total number of uses of up to 5 per day, but could only use the additional 2 if you had your divine bond active at the time you tried to use it. And that number would be split between all possible uses of the various feats.
Still, a pretty good ability if you're interested in taking any of those feats any ways.
