I'm so incredibly curious as to who they've cast as Brienne. She's among my top five as well, though my list is pretty similar to yours. The only exception being Tyrion. While I like him, he is not a favourite, and I would probably have Jon on a top five list rather than him.
And you're not the only one obsessed with Arthur Dayne. In fact, I'm a bit obsessed with the Daynes in particular. There's all those stories about Ashara Dayne throwing herself of the tower, and then Edric Dayne showing up and telling Arya that he and Jon Snow are 'milk brothers'. I'm mean, that family must know something? (which I guess is why we've never really met anyone of them. Everyone that could know something about the whole Lyanna/Rheagar and/or Jon thing are either dead (several Daynes, Ned), missing (Benjen) or refusing to turn up (Howland Reed). Sometimes I suspect Martin keeps suspense up by removing important exposition characters. )
