Send a 4 pronged attack on Stormwind.

10 people(with a Death Knight or Shaman) ride in from the harbor, killing all in sight.

20 people ride in through the front gates, killing all in sight.

10 people(Priests, Paladins, Mages, or Engineers), Parachuting, Slow Falling, Levitating, and Bubbling in. They join the 20 front gate people(after killing all in sight).

And the stealthers. They pop up in random locations(killing whatever unlucky bastard is front of them.)

Then they all ride to Wrynn, who basically had his entire city mauled. The player defenders don't know where to go, they have people coming in from the gates, the harbor, people falling from the skies, and Rogues and Druids are popping out of stealth all over the place.

This raid will take a while to set up, but when it happens. It will happen. hard.

Wagner, Ride of the Valkyries

Ok, you find 40 people who will sit still long enough to implement that, and I'll give you a medal :D

It's hard enough reigning them in for a straight-on city charge on my server

If only I could equip my flying mount with giant speakers...

Well, Baba, with the changes in dungeons in Cataclysm, I believe that players will become more patient, and as a result they will.....ah, who am I kidding. Players will still try to AoE steamroll, then ask Blizzard to nerf it.

It'll probably be more of a guild/people you know thing, and DAMN I want to try it!

Also, I want to say that as an Engineer, I want to be in the Paratrooper position. As a Troll Warrior. Grenades will be everywhere.

If you do that in my realm I'll organize a vengeance raid against orgrimmar with two raid groups. 10 people air striking + 10 people stealthing + 20 people from front gate + 20 people from troll area gate + 20 people from Azshara = 80 people to kill Garrosh and kill everyone else in the city.

Chances are, someone flying will spot your raid in the air and blow the whistle. You won't wipe out the city just like that. People sill still scramble to the king/warchief, you'll lose a good part of your raid before reaching the boss, and the defenders will still have less of a GY run. You'll be better off doing about the same as now: go straight for the goal, don't dawdle about.

Sneak one rogue into the Deeprun Tram, use the guild summon, charge a full 40man raid back out and into the keep.
