I would love to study the coin, but developing a specialized fighting style is probably better.

Honestly, I think we need two defensive towers--one for dealing with lots of weaker fliers, and one for dealing with small numbers of strong fliers. The Azyr tower, depending on how the results turn out, would fall somewhere between those. And while Azyr's effectiveness against really tough enemies is mixed, the important thing to remember is that these towers are charged from ambient magic. Making a tower that uses a wind that is rarely present at the tower's location is difficult. Azyr is really, really efficient in that case, since a tower built on top of a mountain would be bathing in Azyr, while the Ulgu tower probably gets plenty of charge from the shadows/dawn/dusk every day. The Aqshy tower might get charge when it bathes in the sunlight? But the Chamon tower would be the hardest, because there would simply be little ambient Chamon around.
What we're likely to face in the foreseeable future is Wyvern attacks from Birdmuncha or other greenskin warbosses. Doom Divers wouldn't have the range to hit any of the towers, even if they launched from the top of one of the other mountains.
But, ultimately, I think we should have three towers for defense eventually--Azyr, Aqshy, and Ulgu (for defense)--because the Eye of Gazul has proven to be so very effective for protecting K8P.
More seriously, however, we need to work on K8P's defensibility to sappers and underground attacks. Since Boney showed how snotlings could somehow tunnel through kilometers of solid rock in a matter of hours, mountains are less of an impenetrable fortress and more of a modest obstacle to skaven and greenskins.

Nooooooo, not Karag Dum. 
Soil, rather than solid rock. That's why the Anvil countermeasure worked so well.

The Ice Witches are dealing with a massive ogre problem, a problem big enough that despite all their power they still needed to bring in Asarnil, and it's still an ongoing problem. If we do get their help, it'd be because the dwarves will help them fight the ogres.

- being near locations is my passion.
Recruiting now could give them time to ensure they know Atheric Armour (or time to learn it), time to study what they're in for at the chaos wastes, and time to get grounding rods sorted.
But if we don't got witizies now, since we have 3-7 turns, I'd like to talk to traders instead. They can give general information about what they tend to deal with.

Karak Dum is the hardest choice.
But considering how overleveled we are, its also the most fun choice.
No fun to always be on top of things and demolish oppossition with ease.

There's lots of open terrain. Cavalry is indispensable, and something the dwarves wholly lack. They do have some stuff to make up for it like slayers and gyrocopters, but proper cavalry would still do its own job a lot better.
Thinking further, if the expedition doesn't leave for 4 to 7 years, we should hold of on recruitment if we expect to get promoted in that time. Going on an expedition with Lord Magister Mathilde will be much more attracive than mere Magister Mathilde.
Also, we should make our staff! Immediately!
Our magical skills aren't going to receive another big upgrade after that, so then we should do the recon in person.
Then, after our likely promotion, we do the diplomacy/recruitment.

A turn is half a year, so its 2 to 3,5 years.

This is a good point. @BoneyM, you mentioned there might be options to "season" the dragonbone we acquired; is there anything deliberate we need to do or is Mathilde just leaving it in the Grey Tower to soak in Ulgu?

If we're waiting to get our enchantment skill up higher before really using the Vitae, I say go for studying the Coin and the tongs method.
Added:
[ ] Turn a staff from mundane materials.
[ ] Turn a staff from the horn of a Storm Dragon.

Why would we even want them? What use would they be to this mission that is not allready covered?
Mathilde's skill at diplomacy is mediocre at best, and Kislevites have much more respect for the Dwarves than they do for the Imperinyi. Better to leave that sort of thing to Karak Kadrin.

If Zhufbar brings enough Steam-Wagons it could be possible to keep a unit of non-cavalry mercenaries protected from the Chaos Wastes while travelling to Karag Dum.
Leaving mutable humans unprotected on the march there might be a bad idea.

Sorry, I don't want to pester but this is something I genuinely don't know the answer to, not being very familiar with Warhammer Fantasy apart from what I've learned from this quest. Is the Azyr-heavy nature of the Storm Dragon's horn something that Mathilde can just deal with over time if she makes a staff from it now, or something where it's a good idea to wait for the material to become more Ulgu-rich before turning it? And if the latter, is it just a question of waiting long enough?

If you decide to make a staff from it, part of the process would be steeping it in Ulgu for a prolonged period. So she'd set it up to steep first and then do the actual turning of it last, which gives it five months to soak, which should be sufficient. Dragons are inherently mutable, as are their bones.
