Omega
A Psychic Bloodline Sorcerer and ran into a snag with what feats to pick for him. To the point I was starting to think of running a witch VMC. A witch!
Then I remembered I could take a skill focus and pick up a second bloodline. Most are crap, however there was one I thought was pretty neato. The Impossible Bloodline. I already had Craft wondrous item, and humans get that thing where you can get a skill focus easily.
Ignoring the spell pre-reqs for crafting items, would allow me to just produce pages of spell knowledge, hands down, without a GM saying I can't just increase the craft dc by 5 to make them anyways. And the level 15 ability is pretty cool to me.
So, the first thing is, what to use the extra skill focus slots for? I'm trying to find if there is any good feats out there that really make skill focus worth it.
I've still got two slots left as well.
Perception? People seldom complain about having too good a perception skill bonus. You haven't spent all your skill points yet.
You could grab a point in a social skill and use the skill focus to make it useful, or just go beyond maxing out spellcraft. I can't think of anything else this sorcerer would especially want.
Are you using the Crossblooded archetype to get two Bloodlines?

Nope. Using Eldritch Bloodline feat to get a second bloodline.
If you mean Eldritch Heritage, it doesn't give you a Bloodline. It only gets you the 1st level Bloodline Power. That's all. No Bloodline Arcana, Bonus Feats, Bonus Spells, or anything else.
Right. So I took Improved Bloodline to get the third level bloodline power.
Though, Thanks for reminding me. I didn't take any of the bloodline feats for Psychic bloodline.
You'll need to take Skill Focus on the class skill granted by the bloodline you wanna pick up.
What to take the extra ones in? Spellcraft seems too obvious but is worth mentioning.
Perception is equally useful.
Instead of taking CWI, by taking improved Eldritch Heritage you get it for free, doubling your feat economy.
Hedge Magician will be a useful trait.
Ah, I was confused because you mentioned having a second Bloodline. If you are taking the Eldritch Heritage feats, you still only have one Bloodline.

Are there any feats that you know of that use those skill focuses?

I'm sure there's some in Intrigue, but off-hand I do not.
Spellcraft is used for magic item crafting, so if you're going that route might as well since it's free.
I would like to mention that Knowledge(nature) and Knowledge(planes) are the most common class skills for bloodlines. The other knowledges are also pretty common. Regardless you can grab Arcane bloodline if you pick up skill focus(knowledge(anything)). Familiars are always nice and the later powers are pretty good as well. Also if you Crossblood into another bloodline you can use the bloodline feats to grab skill focus(bloodline's class skill)) freeing you for more eldritch heritage
The Orc Bloodline eventually gets immunity to fear effects, which is all kinds of nice on a psychic caster.
