1) When the minefield went up. Or rather just before it went up when all of the convoys kept coming through the wormhole.
2) I would say from either the attack on the Odyssey or from their refusal to negotiate under any circumstances.
3) The invasion of Chintaka.
4) Bajor. Possibly Cardassia.
5) Fairly easily I would say. Though what I really want to know is how Betazed faired during its occupation (and whether Troi will ever mention it) and whether or not we got back that planet from the Romulans.
6) I would think that anywhere from 1/4 to 1/3 of Starfleet ships were destroyed or damaged beyond repair. How many times did we here about a fleet of one hundred or more vessels losing almost all of them?

I don't think Cardassia will join, at least not so soon. But the Klingon and Romulan empires seem more likely than Cardassia. Bajor is no doubt. Though I find the Romulans iffy, but the Klingons I feel sure about in saying they may join the Federation. Especially with Martok in charge of the Klingon Empire and he respects both Sisko and Ross, and has Worf as his Federation ambassador to Qo'nos. The Romulans on the other hand...they saw the Dominion as a common enemy so the alliance was a way of striking the Dominion to protect themselves and not the Federation. There may be a few Romulans on the Senate that would want to join the Federation, at least increase the interaction between the two governments without actually becoming members. Though I also guess that there's more old fashion Senate members who like to keep with the old ways and not change.
My favorite moment of the Dominion War has to be "Sacrifice of Angels" battle scene.

*I don't want to be a sore loser, but I think this subject REALLY goes under DS9*
1) Probably when the Dominion first came into the Alpha Quadrant and went into Cardassian space.
2) The Founders' zeal to crush the Federation and all solids, and its refusal to back down from their quest.
3) The destruction of the Oddysey (gawd, that explosion was awesome)
4) Bajor will join the Federation for sure. I believe the time is right. As for Cardassia, I'm not sure, but I believe that the joint Fed/Kli/Rom provisional government proposed by Sol in a thread way back when will take root here.
5) I can't really say
6) More than a third of its fleet. Makes Wolf 359 look like a mosquito bite.
