Favorited/Hated Class as DM

Picture a Magus, but always under the affects of a bard performance, as well as Haste spell without having to cast it:

At 6th level, a dervish dancer can use his battle dance to speed up his attacks. When making a full attack action, he may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding, as though under the effects of a haste spell. He also gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and on Reflex saves. At 9th level, and every three bard levels thereafter, these bonuses increase by +1, to a maximum of +5 at 18th level. These bonuses do not stack with the haste spell.

Can recover consistent health and gain AC instead of buffing his attacks:

At 14th level, a dervish dancer can use his battle dance to evade attacks with unearthly grace and to shake off the effects of his wounds. Unlike other battle dances, leaf on the wind requires a standard action each round to start or maintain the performance. Each round it is maintained, including the first, the dervish dancer gains a +6 dodge bonus to Armor Class and on Reflex saves. If wounded, he heals 1 hit point of damage per bard level.

Can combine a full-attack action with a move, attacking multiple enemies while moving:

At 12th level, a dervish dancer can attack more than once as he moves while performing a battle dance. He can combine a full-attack action with a single move, taking the attacks at any point during his movement, but must move at least 5 feet between each attack. This movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.

All while using his perform skill in place of acrobatics to attempt to move through threatened squares without provoking AoO, and getting half his bard level to those checks.

Plus his Spell Combat essentially gives him an extra attack each turn while applying touch spells to all attacks, and this stacks with the extra attack Haste gives.

Only downside is it requires the Dervish Dance combat feat, since Slashing Grace dies out when using spell combat

This is all without even going over the Bard's great buffs from his spell list
