Nice predictions! The Daleks will absolutely appear, and probably early. Stephen Moffat has said in interviews that it's important to him that a new Doctor face the Daleks quickly. That's why Victory of the Daleks came so early in Season 5.

I agree with most of your opinions, although I think Season 8 should have more of an emphasis on original aliens.

I hope Clara leaves. Not that I have anything against her character or the actress, but she just doesn't work as a companion in my mind. She was much more suited as The Impossible Girl story arc than she was as a companion.
