[3.5] 8th level gish

[Rhyn]

Looks like you've incorporated a lot of the same elements as my character. Glad you liked it. Going with the cloistered cleric dip is probably superior to my method, especially starting out at level 8 rather than 13.

Well, you know what they say : Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery !
By the way, Holy mount would work great with that build, too. If I ever get to level 15, that would make the fluffy thing a Special mount 18 / Animal companion 14. Neat !

Now that I'm settled on the build, let's go deeper.
Could give me your opinion ? (mostly on the spells and AC)

Human Divine Fey Bard 7 / Cloistered Cleric of Feystuff 1
Abilities (rolled): Str 16, Dex 11+1, Con 14, Int 13, Sag 13+1, Cha 16
Feats: Natural bond (1), Power attack (human), Mounted combat (3), Track (6), Knowledge & Animal devotion (domain swap)  // If able, I'll get a flaw and melodic casting, which will allow me to drop Concentration
Skill ranks: Concentration 11, Handle animal 10, Ride 10, Tumble 10, Perform 10,  Spellcraft 5, UMD 1, All knowledges at least 1 (2 Nobility and Religion)

Spells:

0
Detect magic, Ghost sound, Lullaby, Mage hand, Message, Prestidigitation

1
Protection from evil
Crabwalk
Critical strike (immediate action)
Swift invisibility
Contenders : Catsfeet (immediate action), Grease, Improvisation, Undersong

2
Alter self
Dimension leap
Heroism
Mirror image
Contenders : War cry (swift action), Whirling blade, Elation

3
Prayer
Dispel Magic
Contenders : Haste, Crown of courage, Good Hope, Sonic Shield

Animal Companion:
Tiger for pounce and scent (at level -6), or Dire eagle (level -3, RoS) for survivability, fly, and at 9th level mage slayer + 10 feet reach.
After writing it down I feel like the answer is pretty obvious, but the tiger does have a lot of offense and its low AC could be ignored most of the time thanks to mounted combat.

Is there no one else to handle Dispel Magic? I think I'd rather have Haste. IIRC, there are weapon special abilities that let you Dispel using your own CL. You could maybe pick up a handful of arrows...

I wonder if Melodic Casting is worth a feat, personally... There are so many feats that would be good for this build... (I couldn't use Holy Mount due to the source, though)

There's a couple specific magic weapons that allow dispel attempts on hit, there is an enchantment you can place on any weapon to give you a limited use per day dispel on hit ability... and if I remember correctly there is even a feat that can be taken for the same effect, though i think that feat requires dispel magic to be on your known spells list...

Well, we are a big group and everyone isn't there every time .. I'll check how many of the caster have dispel magic.
And yeah, in MiC there's the Dispelling property 3/day, with CL 5, and for another +1 it becomes CL 15. Wonder how the x times / day translates on arrows, though

Anything else jumps to your eyes ?
