Desna's Shooting Star on a Bard?

[The Pale King]

So, Bard's can replace two of their versatile performances with the two parts of Divine Fighting Technique: Desna's Shooting Star. This lets them use CHA for hit and damage rolls at 2nd level and potentially get the other benefit at 10th level. I love the idea of this build, but have a lot of questions of how to use it:

1. Is it better to take the second half of Desna's Shooting Star, or to take the Startoss Fighting Style?

2. What feats do you want to make this build work best? What about equipment?

3. Which Bard archetypes are worth considering? A lot of them seem to replace versatile performance which is a no go.

1) Why not take both? They synergize together quite well. The advanced benefit of Desna's Shooting Star is a powerful attack against a single target, whose damage is boosted by the Startoss chain, whereas the Startoss Comet is used against a group of targets.

2) Feats: PBS, Precise Shot, Startoss style chain, Arcane Strike, Improved Precise Shot, Deadly Aim. Bards don't have proficiency with starknifes, so choose your race or dip (or spend a feat) accodingly. For equipment, you definitely need a Blinkback Belt so you only need 1 enchanted starknife, a Dervish Sikke improves your inspire courage bonuses by +1. The rest can be standard fare.

3) Dervish of Dawn doubles the bonuses from your performances, but the performances only boost yourself. Combine this with the Dervish Sikke, Startoss chain, Arcane Strike and Deadly Aim and you will do damage that will make a barbarian drool with high attack as well. Diva would give you medium armour proficency, which is useful since you don't need your Dex score to be higher than 14 for your feats. Other archetypes that may interest you are Sound Striker and Flame Dancer

Two weapon fighting is arguably worth picking up for melee, although its brothers Dex pre reqs are likely to high for follow up.
