So for a new campaign I'm looking at this build. Main thoughts: extra reach, the abberant bloodline gives an extra 5ft reach, if I enlarge thats another 5ft, and if I take the Long Arm feat thats 5 more for a total of 20ft reach, with a whip I could hit a target 30ft away. (Don't even want to think about what he looks like with arms as long as a school bus). the abberant build also gives lots of defensive bonuses later on for being "Alien", and if i add some mystic levels in guardian that makes me even more tanky. any thoughts?

Yeah, the abberant bloodline is one of the most powerful bloodrager bloodlines, the reach is only part of the awesome. This build combines really well with combat reflexes, as you will threaten a ton of squares. Getting whip proficiency adds even more range, but you can do fine with a martial reach polearm, less range but more damage. At 11th level you can cast your long arm/enlarge as part of your rage saving on action economy. As said above, lunge is a great feat for the build.

Staggering strike is one of the most powerful early bloodrage powers, and worth looking into critfishing as staggered is pretty devastating and few things are immune to it.

Since you are aberrant, you qualify for theaberrant tumor (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/aberrant-tumor) feat, nabbing a free familiar you can hide in your body, and likewise you can get an improved familiar (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/improved-familiar) through this.
