Not sure where to go with this, so looking for some advice on what direction to go if it's even worth it...

My thought was to be a Master Summoner that summons a boat load of creatures. Then take a 1 level dip into Cavalier simply for the Tactician ability.

The theory being, all your summoned creatures would be considered allies, so using Cavalier Tactician (Ex) ability to give them all a useful Teamwork Feat.

Imagine summoning 5 small earth elementals around an opponent, then giving them something like Broken Wing Gambit. Enemy attacks 1 small elemental, and provokes AoO from the 4 others surrounding it. And imagine if it's more summoned creatures then that.

That's an example of what I am looking for.

Any thoughts to expand upon this?

The Tactician can only be used once per day, and only lasts for 4 rounds (at level 1).
It's a good idea, but not all that feasible for multiple/long fights.

A slightly better option would be 3 levels of Holy Tactician (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/paladin/archetypes/paizo---paladin-archetypes/holy-tactician) Paladin, which has no limits on how many times it can use the ability, nor how long it lasts.

Of course, your Summoning would suffer more from 3 levels lost instead of just 1.
