Speaking from experience DHCP is also nice to have on physical. Say you have
to power the entire facility down for one reason or another, your hosts all
have to start up cold
I think it depends on your infrastructure. If you have components
(firewalls, routers, switches, NAS, SAN, etc.) that rely on AD, then I
would still keep at least one physical around, possibly (2) at each site,
depending on the size of your environment.

That is correct (you can have redundant DHCP without splitting the pool in
Windows Server 2012).
Hyper-V 3.0 also allows you to specify critical VMs that must start first, with
X delay before starting other VMs, and allow Hyper-V clusters to come
the servers to
not come back on after a power failure. Hopefully it is in the bios.
Any recommendations? We use TrippLite UPS's and no backup generator.

Hyper-V 2.0 does not allow the clusters to initialize without AD. :P

Hyper-V 2.0 also does this, at least the delay period for each VM. I have DC's

I can vouch for having a physical dc, dns and dhcp.
We lost power last Thursday night, and when it was restored 3 days later,
exchange, several file servers and other stuff needed a reboot as they came up
before the DC was up.
Now, I'm looking
for the server room. If you think for a bit
it's not hard to dream up a plausible perfect storm.

Last one. Just found the power settings on the Dell servers.
It is in the password area. Scroll down to the bottom.
