Alexstrasza could work the same way. Her humanoid form would be the normal stance, in which she would have limited wave-clearing potential, and then she could have healing and damaging spells with global presence. As for her ults, well, one is quite obvious, a flaming breath ressing people, either permanently or turning them into flaming zombie for XX seconds, and the other could be like a barrage of healing & damaging fires covering a large area. If they wanted to use her dragon model, the way one of the ults could work is she spawns at target area, the size of Ragnaros during Molten Core, and starts breathing fire (Diablo Apocalypse style) that heals allies and burns enemies. I think it would be really epic and catch the feel of the character.
