furious focus lets you ignore the penalty from power attack on your first attack in the round. so if you switch power attack on after your first attack, which seems only beneficial if you're starting with a maneuver instead of an attack, then you gain no benefit that round from having the furious focus feat. ( lending credence to Auke's advice that Weapon Focus is a better feat, because you'll always get that +1 )
for example, you have 2 attacks:
1. make first attack, decide not to turn on power attack
2. make second attack, decide DO decide to turn on power attack, furious focus benefit no longer helps, since it only applies to the FIRST attack in the round.
SKR's comment isn't an actual ruling. its more him chiming in saying there's nothing in the rules to say one way or the other on the option as printed in the pathfinder core book. so both options are valid. it makes no comment about the intent of the rules.
but Combat Expertise has different wording, which requires you to decide to do it before making an attack or full attack action for the round.
Power Attack one of the few cases where 3.5 -> pathfinder lost clarity instead of added clarity to the rules in that sense. It was simplified at least.

Why would it make furious focus useless?
