Kobold Dragon Disciple / Rage Prophet


Advice


After posting a suggestion of a Kobold Bloodrager/Dragon Disciple/Rage Prophet in another topic, I had the idea to actually try to flesh out the build idea as a possible character for a future campaign... and thought I'd ask here for some advice on smoothing out some of the build.

What I have in mind so far is as follows
Kobold Alternate Racial Traits: Day Raider, Gliding Wings, Dragonmaw
Primalist Bloodrager 4 Levels
Bloodline: Draconic
Rage Powers at 4th: Moment of Clarity, Brawler
Oracle 1 Level
Mystery: Dragon
Revelation: Draconic Resistances or Dragon Senses
Curse: Hunger
Dragon Disciple 5 Levels
Bloodline Feats: Power Attack, Toughness
Rage Prophet 10 Levels
Leveling Feats: Tail Terror, Mad Magic, Scaled Disciple, Weapon Focus [Claws], Feral Combat Training [Claws], Dragon Style, Stunning Fist, Dragon Ferocity, +2 more

As it stands this would result in a 9th Level Draconic Bloodline (13th with Robe of Arcane Heritage); 15th Level Rage Powers, Revelation, & Curse; +4 to Str (negating Kobold's -4 to Str); +6 Morale to Str & Con when Bloodraging; -1/+3 Power Attack on Claws & Bite with -1/+1 Power Attack on Tail Slap; and 14th level Oracle spell casting (Dragon Disciple progresses Oracle spellcasting via Scaled Disciple feat).

I'd really love to get that 6th Level of Dragon Disciple for 1d6 elemental damage on my Bite and a +2 to Con (negating Kobold's -2 to Con), but I can't get both Dragon Disciple 6 & Rage Prophet 10 since both require a minimum of 5 levels prior, and between the two, getting Greater Rage is a better pay off...

I'm tempted to add in Weapon Focus [Tail] & Feral Combat Training [Tail] just to bump my Tail's damage up to 2xStr from ½Str, though it's Power Attack bonus would remain -1/+1 due to it still being a secondary attack. I know Dragon Ferocity will only apply 2xStr on the first "unarmed strike" each round, so if I took this route, I'd be opening with my Tail Slap for 2xStr then following up with Claws at 1½xStr. And since I only get up to +14 BAB my Power Attack caps out at -4/+8, this would come close to evening out my damage at max level (+30 Primary & +28 Secondary vs +30 Primary & +10 Secondary).

My main concerns with this though is I'm not quite sure that the Dragon Style feat chain is really worth it for this build, it's a rather heafty feat investment for an already feat starved build and locks my 2nd rage power selection to Brawler for Improved Unarmed Strike, effectively restricting both of my Rage Powers to filling prerequisites and nothing else.

any advice or suggestions?
