So, just wondering what others are thinking. Name of the Raid? What are the other bosses going to be? Are there any hints involved at all for the theme of the raid other than maybe it being the Black Dragonflight? This is a bit of a stretch but perhaps the Erethreals make a sort of a comeback?
Just trying to jump start some thoughts and ideas, see if we can piece together what the raid will be, what it might involve.

He will resurrect Nefarion and Frankonyxia.
1) Resurrected Frankonyxia
2) Resurrected Nafarion
3) Skeletal Onyxia
4) Zombie Nefarion
5) Deathwing, with phases for Bone Pile of Onyxia, Mass of Tenderized Flesh Nefarion, and then all 3 at once.

I'm actually hoping for an Ony-styled one-boss raid.
Walk into a volcano
Clear some trash and dodge some traps
Walk up to DW
Listen to a big monolouge about how the Hour of Twilight is upon us and killing him will accomplish nothing
Enter battle, the floor slowly begins filling with lava
Just when the floor is about to entirely vanish; Alexstrasza shows up. She enters battle with DW and they go up out of the volcano.
Several red and black dragons appear. The reds let you on their back and you have to fight the black drakes up and out of the volcano while Alexstrasza and DW fight .
Alexstrasza falls to the ground and the reds set you down nearby where your raid reengages deathwing outside. The aspect shifts into his humanoid form upon landing.
Once dropped down a bit more, Deathwings changes back to his dragon form for the final stretch of the battle.

It'd be really nice to have a 1-boss Ony style fight but they should make it a properly epic fight, like 25 minutes long from engaging him with radically differing phases and possibly even a mounted phase or something.
In before people say "ah but won't casters run oom?" there are loads of possible mechanics or phase change devices which could be used to regen mana, you could put in a 10 second cut scene or something and then have alexstrasza or whoever apply a mana buff so everyone goes into the start of the next phase with x% mana pool.
Edit: I'd also like to see an attunement questline for it, don't make it like the old attunements where you would need to have raided FL or something but make it like a fairly long soloable albeit fairly tough questchain where you slowly track down where DW is located.

You could have a buff like BWL's second boss for unlimited mana/rage/energy/rp/focus. Possible just for a phase...

So I now have to write the Deathwing fight.
Damnit, Blizzard.
(Yes I JUST realized this)
Edit:
Just in case some of you don't get what I mean

Blizz have said they like having between 6-8 bosses in a single raid, they called it a sweet spot. I'd say hoping for a one boss raid is just not gonna happen.

in the DW raid im hoping to see:
- Fire elemental (or ascendant)
- Air elemental (or ascendant)
- Twilight dragon or Black dragon (or both )
- Twilight Random entrance gaurd ( or some kind of event )
- Old god (or a very Very powerfull old god minion )
- Maybe some ancient goblin designed weapon (since they also made the orginal armor for DW, who knows what else they made)
- Sinestra since it seemed she just retreated at the end in BoT (although i wouldnt want her as a boss agian)
- Red/Green/Blue/Bronze dragonflights helping out some way or the other.
- perhaps some cinematic/monologue about that uncorrupted Black dragon egg we saved in badlands ( go quest in that zone if you wanna know what i mean )
- perhaps a Chromatic Dragon, that nefarian somehow kept out of the picture. and send too his father.
- Theldurin the Lost ripped into pieces cause he punched DW in the face (and his buddies for making false stories)
anyone else, has anything he hopes too see in the DW raid

We already know that we're going to spend some of the raid fighting on his back don't we?
Or am I getting my facts wrong with what is happening and what might be happening heh.

So we're probably not gonna be seeing the Old God that passed Deathwing's checks?

OMG! Yes!
A full grown chromatic would be awesome!

Arguably I can say I do. Not for Deathwing of course, but instead for... that Chromatic Dragon we could say.
Another rendition of "Many Whelps, Now Handle It!" is in order. Plus, not enough dragons. More DKP needed. BKP (Boss KP) is lame.

Ok I'm calling it right now. This is what the bosses are going to be in the Deathwing Raid:
-Twilight Father (as the new leader of the cult, he's bound to play a part here)
-Twilight Prophet (plays a major role here too)
-Twilight Council (as mentioned by Azil and Manastorm in a Deepholm quest)
-Chromatus (as mentioned in Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects)
-Some herald of N'zoth (he's going to be a powerful faceless being)
-And finally of course, Deathwing (duh)
