...Feint in the same round, to get rid of both dex to AC AND armor to AC?

I know the spot check I have to roll to use Deft Strike is a standard action, so I can't attack in the same round as using it. But if I in round 1 of the combat succeed on the spotcheck when using Deft Strike, then use the move action to move towards my foe..... then the next round i use Feint and attack (I can feint as a move action).
Does this work?

And...
If my foe wears a +5 fullplate, I use Deft Strike and attack the next round, do bypass the whole armor (with plusses and all --> +13), or just the +8 a natural fullplate gives?

Yes you can do that.

You negate his entire armor bonus, which is 13.

The +5 is an enhancement to the armor, not a special other bonus.

Two rounds for one attack though. In your given example you are knocking 14 off, so unless you want to sneak attack then why feight for that extra one?

That's probably why.
