Okay, I'll try to answer some of a thousand questions & statements. Thanks for the great support so far.
Also I might add read-worthy posts to the OP.

The thing is that as great as this idea is and I whole heartedly support it I don't see it happening as others have said it would be a huge undertaking bringing back the VA's and all the extra time and manpower to create all the content it's just a huge undertaking that while alot of the fans would buy it in a heartbeat it isn't cost effective and that's the Elephant in the room.
*cut*
That's true. To get back any VA needs a lot of money. Also keep in mind it's not just the original cast but also the ones for any localization.
I don't know how many millions of fans are willing to pay for one or both Romance DLCs and I have no idea how much money you need to bring back the VAs. Since most of the other stuff is done (Textures, characters, ...) you "just" need to add the new scenes, the new maps and that's it.
"That's it" could easily mean half a year of programming PLUS another three months of bug fixing. Even if BW is going to do this, don't expect a DLC in 2012.
Think a good idea is to sell the DLC for $15 each or as bundle for $25. It's worth the prize replayability gets enhanced a lot. Such upgraded romances can be considered as "game within a game".

The Mass Effect 2 Romances where
handled the way they were on purpose Bioware wanted to push the fans
toward the Mass Effect 3 Romance Options and The Mass Effect 2 Romances
had too many Issues and most of the issues I don't see a possble
solution because they are already coded into the Game perhaps before
release this problem could and should have been addressed but I don't
think it will happen now that the game is aleady out.
Something
to also consider is the fact that the only reason Bioware is changing
the Ending is because of the massive outrage made by the Fans so maybe
something could be accomplished but we will need unity and alot of
supporters.
Funny fact: the ME2 romances IN ME2 were done in a way to separate you from your original romance in ME1. Players who did so never got a proper reward from their new LI.
Most issues of the current ME2 romances in ME3 can be fixed by adding additional variables. I don't know anything about the structure of the game, but it should be possible to add new content, a "new path" of the story, without damaging the old path (which is still there if you like). I think I did an attempt to explain this in the OP.

I'd be tempted, assuming they fixed the ending.
I'd also like to see a 'Swap Allers for Wong or Al-Jilani' DLC. THAT I would pay money for.
That idea is a good one, although may not work. Adding two more full (female) LIs may offend female players as well.
Adding another new male character as Reporter to the game would make things even more complicated.

You had me until the no gay Vega part.
Yeah, but not every character should be bi :happy:
Think Vega works a tad better as non-gay character. Or maybe he IS gay but not interested in male!Shep? Actually, I'd like to see that: bi-sex Vega who's only romanceable by fem!Shep but otherwise has eyes only for Cortez. Why not?

To broaden the scope I suggest this
should be a "Characters and Romances" dlc. The extra missions should be
available regardless of who you romance and there should be extra
non-romance dialog as well (as stated in OP).
I'm fine with Thane
dying. I think you should be able to recruit Kolyat after he does and
reflect on your relationship with Thane with him.
Kolyat may be a good idea.
Think the "Thane-semi-cure plot" should get introduced for true Thane fans. Not everyone is into that "love-father-love-son" trope *g*

Apologies to fellow Jackmancers, but I oppose this plan. Jack has a good thing going and should stay with those kids.
The
dossier on the War Assets terminal says that Jack's tutelage has helped
those biotic students. So, we should just take her away and stick them
with a replacement who might not do them any good. No, says I. If it has
to be a long-range relationship, so be it. This Shepard doesn't need to
be reminded what he's fighting for.
You always have the option NOT to recruit your LI for the ship.
Also: you can skip Ashley or Kaidan in the vanilla game and make 'em to war assets. It'll net you 25 points.
Since you only get to recruit one out of the four LIs (and only 3 of them become war assets), recruting Jack won't harm your war assets that much :happy:

Basically sums up how I feel. I
support this, but I highly doubt Bioware will do this. Plus, if they do
end up doing a DLC, I only see it being generic for the LI's as a whole
(which is what I don't want), compared to being relevant to what each romance represents.
Some stuff may be generalized, other stuff should feel way different - like the special missions for each character. I hope for a big diversity on this field
