If the bleed evolution is added to an attack with multiple attacks, say Claw x2, how is it handled?
For example, would this be correct?
Claw attack x2, bleed:
Both claws hit for sake of example.
Claw damage is rolled twice.
Bleed damage is rolled twice and highest is taken.
...now, you continue to roll bleed x2 and take the highest until bleed is stopped. Correct?

An eidolon gains the ability to inflict bleeding wounds. Select one type of attack. Attacks of that type deal 1d6 points of bleed damage. This evolution can be selected more than once. Each time an eidolon selects this evolution, it applies to a different attack. The bleed effect doesn't stack.
Eratta states that if there are multiple doses of the same effect bleed, if rolled, roll all sources and take the highest.
For the above example. If the bleed evolution was selected for claws, and then for bite, would you have two dice of bleed each round?
Of course providing all attacks hit.
I had originally written something else here. I was wrong. Per an old post by JJ, when the bleed damage is a die roll, you roll each round for a new bleed amount. Based on that, I believe your assessment is correct.

Bleed effects do not stack with each other unless they deal different kinds of damage. When two or more bleed effects deal the same kind of damage, take the worse effect. In this case, ability drain is worse than ability damage.
So lets assume we have a monk/rogue with Belier's Bite (1d4 bleed on unarmed Strikes), Boar Shred (1d6 bleed when you activate the rend effect), and the Bleeding Strike rogue talent for 1 point of bleed per SA die (lets say 3)
So in a flurry, the monk/ rogue hits twice, triggering two bleed effects for 1d4, which triggers another 1d6 bleed effect, and two static 3 bleed.
You would roll 2 d4 and 1 d6 and take the highest value between the dice rolled or 3.
The evolution also says once gained to select one type of attack. Would 'natural attack' be an acceptable type, or does it have to be more specific, such as bite or claw? If you have a weapon attack can it also be used for that?
Natural attack isn't an attack, you have to pick a specific one. And for some evolutions it only applies to 1 claw.
