A couple of feats over the top of my head...
Observe and Imitate
Prerequisite: Int 15, Spot (10 ranks)
Benefit: For every use of an active feat in an encounter(like Cleave, but not like Weapon Focus), make a DC 20 Spot check. If successful, you gain the benefits of that feat for the encounter. You cannot imitate feats that you don't meet the prerequisites of, and you cannot imitate more than one feat at the same time. An exception to this, is when you imitate feats that are linked between themselves by prerequisition. (For example: If you imitated Cleave, you may imitate Great Cleave, but not Stunning Fist until the effect ends.) You gain a +4 bonus on the Spot check if the feat is used on you. This effect ends with the encounter.
Normal: You may only gain benefits of feats that you possess.
(Alternatively, this effect may last for 1d4+int mod rounds)
Greater Imitation
Prerequisite: Int 17, Spot (15 ranks), Observe and Imitate
Benefit: You may apply the effect of the "Observe and Imitate" feat on active class abilities that is used in an encounter as well. Only extraordinary abilities can be imitated this way. A DC 25 Spot check success is required for the ability imitation. You gain a +4 bonus on the Spot check if the feat is used on you. The duration of the effect is the same as Observe and Imitate.
So what do you think? If overpowered, I may further the prerequisites or the DC a bit more.
