Whoa, that's pretty spicy. Need to get through with it once, but after that it's... hm. Cast on turn 1, attack on turn 2. Turn 3 focus it and it's a tapped 3/3; turn 4 either attack as a 3/3 or focus it into a 5/5 that attacks on turn 5... Yeah, I guess that's all reasonable. It's a very good one-drop, but not overpowered. Especially since when you draw it on turn 6 it's not going to be easy to get it tapped.

(I assume focus doesn't apply if the creature is already untapped?)

Yes, it's intended that the creature has to be tapped in order to focus.
I abandoned Focus because it seemed like a feel-bad mechanic. Keeping your creature tapped to get an additional benefit? It has to be a pretty good benefit in order to pay off. I don't think people would enjoy Focus. I guess I'd have to playtest with it to know for sure, though.
