Count me in as someone who would've liked to see a Dominion POV episode.
And rather than have the mirror universe become a ridiculous self-parody, I would have preferred for it to actually mirror the main universe a bit more. We never did find out if there was a Dominion in that universe, or any Borg. And it might have been a good excuse to show a Borgified Dominion.
I don't know, that's really the only way I'd ever want to see Borg on DS9 besides the pilot.
They proved they could do good Jake episodes with "Nor the Battle to the Strong," but he was MIA for most of the final few seasons, and they never really used him as a strong story element. One thought that occurs to me is, when the Dominion is withdrawing from the station in "Sacrifice of Angels," they leave Dukat behind--but what if they grabbed Jake on their way out? The Emissary's son would be a hell of a bargaining chip, at least for Sisko. Just seems like a weak spot no one ever exploited to any significant degree.
Oh, and they could have done at least one more "let's torture O'Brien" episode. Put him way out of his depth, like have the entire senior staff put out of commission, with a Dominion fleet advancing on the station, and O'Brien has a matter of hours to mount a defense to save their asses. And nothing goes right.

I like when the mirror universe does things differently. So instead of a Dominionized Borg, how about the Borg being the beacon of freedom. I like all but two of DS9's mirrors (the one with Vedik Beral coming back/the one with the cloaking device, were pretty hard to watch). But the others, I thought, they good jobs on.
HOWEVER, the didn't push the envelope.

As far as the MU episodes go, I loved "Crossover" and it was all downhill from there. 
I like the idea of the Borg as being "inverted" in the MU, though. They could actually be like the Federation, only even more ultra-benevolent. "We come in peace and love for all forms of life! Please, join us!"

I would like to have seen something about the inception of the Dominion, particularly the Jem'Hadar, working out the kinks and such, how they're created, early versions... I'm just interested in the Jem'Hadar in general, really, and would love to have seen more of them. Plus they could have had more than one Vorta in the room together, that could be pretty funny. They could have a 'see who's the most obsequious' competition. Which Weyoun would win

Why am I getting this weird image of techno-hippies?

Traveling in a flower-shaped ship, of course, painted like Austin Powers's plane.

Yeah. And what they don't tell you is, that "flower ship" is a planet-destroying beam weapon. So, go ahead, tell them you'd "rather not join." See what happens.
Hmmm...
"We are the Bong. Prepare to be inebriated."
"We are the Bong. Prepare to be inebriated."
Wow, this sounds great! A lot like City on the Edge of Forever, only more personal. It would also be great to take this story and make it a bit like It's a Wonderful Life, where Sisko wishes he never came to DSN at all, and the Prophets make it true, and he has to watch and see how events unfold before he cries out, "Make it the way it was before!"
My idea, a bit technobabble-ish, would be to have the wormhole malfunction, causing a breach into an alternate universe where the characters are completely different. Both crews have to work together to seal the breach, or both universes will be destroyed.
In this other universe, Odo is station commander and Emissary, was rescued by Starfleet instead of Dr. Mora, and is a Starfleet officer; O'Brien became an officer and is first officer; Dax is an adventurer who joined the Bajoran resistance and is security chief; Sisko is chief medical officer; Kira was brought up in the Federation and is science officer; Quark is an engineer who once worked for the Cardassians, and is now chief of operations; Dukat is like a ruthless, dangerous version of Quark and owns the bar and runs a criminal operation in the Alpha and Gamma Quadrants; and Garak is the former prefect of Terok Nor.

I would have like to see an episode about a Cardassian Colony. It would follow the lives of citizens and highlighting Cardassian Family values and some of their bizzare things, like code of justice etc. The colony is ruled by an autocrat (either vorta or cardassian) but disent simmers below the surface. The main char would be a younf Cardassian whose father had died and is just about to go on military assignment but has his reservations. On a hike he and a friend discover a crashed Runabout and some injured starfleet personel (Garack, Dax, Jake, and Obrien/Worf)
[FONT=Calibri]The young Cards argue whether or not they should turn in the intruders finally deciding to do so for the State. On the way back they run into a beast or bad storm and are only saved by one of the injured Starfleet people. The rest of the episode would follow their attempt to keep the Starfleet people alive and hidden from the rest of the Cardassians and the dissendents internal struggle on whether or not to betray the State. Garack is eventually sent out for supplies needed to contact DS9. In town he runs into an old friend who agrees to help him. In the climax Garack’s friend betrays the Hero’s to the autocrat with Garack making some of his usually devious quips. At the last minute the heroes are saved by the dissendents who likewise betray the autocrat with more Garack quips. Everyone flys off including the dissendents who are settled on a neutral colony. On the station the episode would have had a side story involving Sisko, Quark and Odo. Sisko asks Quark to obtain something special for Cassidy but Quark uses the opportunity to try to convince a third party that Sisko is in his pocket and by bribing Quark the third party will control Sisko.

I remember reading a fake synopsis of a 7th season DS9 episode. It involved Ezri and basically being a joined Trill became so difficult for her that she was going to secretly have the Dax symbiot removed. In that summary, it said that the Ezri and Jake relationship was going to get a lot closer.
Now that's something they teased a little and never did anything with...Jake and Ezri. Would have been fun to see Sisko's reaction to that.

Yes...but I think I read somewhere that the 'suits' nixed it. Too bad, it would have been very interesting indeed!!

More of Bajor during the cardissian occupation
I don't have a specific story in mind but one of DS9's greatest strengths was its supporting cast. I would have loved to see at least one episode where the entire supporting cast or at least the good ones
are involved in a story. Now, while I'm apparently one of the few that liked B5's "A View From The Gallery" I think the premise sound or even TNG's "Lower Decks"
But I would go so far as to not have any of the main cast in it at all. I think by Television standards it would have been risky to do but not with the actors they had. Oh well, maybe some day there will be a DS9 spin-off, yeah right lol.

The recent Terok Nor trilogy of novels really has you covered on this one. Three long books, everything you'd ever want to know, told with subtlety and skill.
