Illidan is a great idea! I'll have to try it out in casual. Could you imagine? Maybe I should throw in a Stranglethorn Tigerfor even more damage with a combo the following turn as seen in this deck:
I run a similar deck, and I find that I really like Soul of the Forest in it. They rarely manage to clear everything Onyxa drops, and once they get the deathrattle, the opponent is scared to kill them since they only become more powerful. This gives extra time to buff up the little guys/keeps them around for the rest of the game.
I had a really fun Druid arena draft where I got Onyxia early and added a Soul of the Forest later. It was awesome! Filled the board with 1/1 whelps that turned into 2/2 treants when I killed them off! I feel it's an underrated card in both constructed and arena but it does take some creativity to really get the most out of it (along with a bit of luck). this could be just the deck for it though.
Soul of the Forestwould be played in a lot more Token Druid decks if it costed 3 mana. 4 mana is just so much. I agree with you though, this seems like just the deck for it.
Druid's class cards make Onyxia viable. I can't think of another class that could milk this much value out of her.
THE DREAM:
TURN 9 - Onyxia, Innervate, Innervate, Power of the Wild, Power of the Wild.
TURN 10 - Savage Roar, Savage Roar.

I like your thinking Kent. Have a lot of tinkering to do this week! Will try it out.
