I'd sit on my hands for 25 years doing nothing before starting my revenge plan, stealing a doomsday weapon, trying to talk to whales, randomly deciding to attack a starship, subsequently finding God in the process, throwing the galaxy into a full-scale war (all along plotting with the very enemies that I want the war with), launching a missle into a sun, going back in time, stealing some magic cosmic rays, and, attempting to destroy Earth.
Oh, and if all that doesn't work, I'd send my evil cloud to attack Earth.

Avoid the cliche and not go for Earth or Vulcan right off the bat.
1st thing: destroy the Enterprise; sabotage her while she laid over for repairs or resupply. Then I'd stage things so the major powers got pull this why and that fighting various wars; staging hit and run attacks against civlian infrastructure under a false flag to keep them inflamed and at each others throats.
Then everyone soften up then I'd start taking out major homeworlds: using protomatter warheads and genesis torpedoes. Cut off Earth and Vulcan using omega-particle bombs.

If I wanted to hurt the Federation, I would hit them where they hurt the most, their sense of moral superiority. Their foundational core beliefs include extreme anti-transhumanism that goes far beyond mere prejudice and their history includes what can only be described as genocide against genetically engineered humans due to those prejudices that they refuse to abandon. As Quark once pointed out, the Federation's Hew-mons like to think that they're morally supperior to everyone else, even other hew-mons. They can rationalize away one Starfleet officer who does bad stuff, or even a whole covert agency of them, as just a few bad apples. But, demonstrating that a core foundational principle of the Federation, carried over from pre-federation days by prejudiced humans, is deeply immoral, would be an undeniable blow to their smug self-righteousness.

A whole lot of whore mongering, that's what.
I'd be in Section 31 doing the things our heroes can't be troubled with, but which are essential to the survival of the Federation.
Prime timeline, 24th century:
I would try to use the Romulans' (after Romulus' destruction) and the Cardassians' desire to become great powers again and forge an alliance with both of them. Then I'd launch a two-front attack against the Federation. First, the Cardassians attack the Bajoran sector which will hopefully lead to the Federation dispatching the bulk of Starfleet there.
Then the Romulans strike at the heart of the Federation by conducting a simultaneous raid against Starfleet Headquarters as well as the San Francisco and Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. After those targets are eliminated, the Romulans are also destroying Jupiter Station on their way out. Then they're setting course for the Bajoran sector to attack the Starfleet forces there from the other side.
Ultimate goal: Force the Federation to sign a cease-fire on the Romulan-Cardassian alliance's terms. This treaty includes the surrender of several Federation colonies near the Romulan/Cardassian borders, the shutdown of starbases and outposts along those borders, and a reduction of Starfleet in number of ships.

think i'd be assimalating everyone and defenatly send more then one cube against earth
Using unethical CIA like agencies seems a massive gamble given that Q told us "the trial never ends".
The threat from aggressor spieces like the Dominion are nothing compared to the power of Q or the Organians.
Our survival depends on enlightenment.
In TNGtrek, I'd cut the bullshit.
The Federation is the biggest paper tiger in the history of paper tigers. Its military is run by ambassadors and scientists. Its government is pacifist to a fault. It can't wipe it's behind in a real war without help from actual fighting races. The only reason it wins is because it's the "good guys" in a good-versus-evil universe. In an objective universe, I'd back the Pakleds against them.
So there, I'd turn the universe objective.
In TOStrek, I'd just keep trying to kill Kirk until it actually happened. No point trying anything else until he's dead.

go looking for the AllSpark cube...
I would not mess with the Enterprise...lol.
First off, join Starfleet. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. After I had spent years of now and then finding individuals within Starfleet who agree with my goals here and there and getting some devoted followers and climbing the ranks, I would leave Starfleet once I was a starship captain, feigning the ship's destruction and killing all but my followers or anyone who could be potentially useful. And those I would kill as soon as their usefulness ended, very simply, phaser on kill to the chest-nothing grandiose. I would then upgrade the starship with my own nefarious technology© , and cut a wide swath of destruction though the Federation until I hit Earth, where I would face Righteous Federation Heroes©, and I would slaughter them without mercy or discussion if possible. If not possible, I ram my ship into theirs and self-destruct.
Undermine the Feds from within. Funny how Trek villains so rarely try this. When the Founders did, they caused some serious chaos until I guess they got bored and just sent in the Jems, guns a-blazin! That shit never works.
Let's try to i.d. some of the weak points of the Feds. Here's one, their irrational horror of genetic engineering. Just because humans had a bad experience, they've banned it for everyone? Feh! Why should everyone else limit themselves just because the humans have a phobia. Start selling genetic enhancement at a discount and watch it spread across the Federation like wildfire.

Impersonate Captain Kirk and try and get in Janice Rand's pants.
First things first... send the Ferengi a subspace transmission from the "Prince of the Klingon Homeworld" stating that my father was recently kidnapped, and in order to claim his billions of bars of gold-pressed latinum, I had to have a small amount of their money sent in order to cover the legal fees and what-not. Once they sent me all their account info, I'd rob them blind, and then enslave them to their own lost riches. After that, I'd buy every Klingon and Cardassian a drink and a holo-suite program... ya know, so they "owe" me one (you can never have enough favors to cash in!). After that I'd probably buy Risa, and slowly black mail every Federation official that came through there (since they all apparently eventually do). Oh, I'd also buy exclusive trademark rights to the "IDIC" symbol, and request a minor stipend each time it was displayed on Vulcan. Also, I'd develop and f'in EMP that could disable the Borg... don't want them getting in my hair. Finally, I'd develop a new, cheap method of manufacturing Romulan ale, and slowly corner that market, to the point where all domestic distilleries can't compete with the intergalactic conglomerate that is RomBev (lol InBev), and then slowly introduce an addictive carcinogen into their beverage of choice, and through addiction take complete control of that civilization...
So to recap, I'd pretty much just go Godfather on them... and they can all kiss the ring ;-)
