You got me with Great Cleave, but ...
You're saying Dodge gives me unlimited uses? So, against the target of my Dodge, I can have an infinite AC?

I wonder how many DMs enforce the rules strictly by the letter.
I think it was pretty obvious that you take the feat, and can now sustain one psicrystal. If you trade the feat out somehow, the psicrystal fades into normal crystal. But opinions will likely vary.

Here is some text from www.d20srd.org:
A sorcerer can obtain a familiar. Doing so takes 24 hours and uses up magical materials that cost 100 gp. A familiar is a magical beast that resembles a small animal and is unusually tough and intelligent. The creature serves as a companion and servant.
The sorcerer chooses the kind of familiar he gets. As the sorcerer advances in level, his familiar also increases in power.
If the familiar dies or is dismissed by the sorcerer, the sorcerer must attempt a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw. Failure means he loses 200 experience points per sorcerer level; success reduces the loss to one-half that amount. However, a sorcerer’s experience point total can never go below 0 as the result of a familiar’s demise or dismissal. A slain or dismissed familiar cannot be replaced for a year and day. A slain familiar can be raised from the dead just as a character can be, and it does not lose a level or a Constitution point when this happy event occurs.
A character with more than one class that grants a familiar may have only one familiar at a time.
Two interesting notes:
"A sorcerer can obtain a familiar." reads the same as for gaining a psycrystal.
Literally read, "A character with more than one class that grants a familiar may have
only one familiar at a time. " does not restrict a character with only ***one** class
that grants a familiar from having more than one.

Note the bolded text. Looks like you can select a new opponent on any action. So when someone else attacks you (ie, takes an Attack action) you can select them to get the Dodge bonus against their attack. Note that only for the designation part does that have to be done on your action. I take that as meaning, the first time you use Dodge in a given combat, it has to be on your turn... Then later, as I bolded, it says you can select a new opponent on ANY action, not just the player's action, but ANY action. Perhaps Dodge isn't all that bad after all...

What, in the Dodge rules, prevents me from "designating" the same opponent multiple times? After all, if "a psicrystal" does not mean "one and only one psicrystal from this feat," then "a +1 Dodge bonus" does mean "one and only one +1 Dodge bonus from this feat."
Therefore, I can select you multiple times, and gain multiple Dodge bonuses - which, by the rules, stack.
