I like this idea. A lot.

A solution could be to just add a mouse-able trigger for the Alt+Tab
interface. This would provide those who don't always have a hand on
the keyboard access to a switching function that is not the Overview
(which can be too much for some people).
Threw together some images this afternoon that show a way this could
work. After the first one they are really just the progression that we
are all familiar within Alt+Tab (App --> App windows).
First image (note the little triangle next to the app's title in the
panel):

Obviously the trigger could be changed to whatever, but the triangle
is already used in other parts of the Shell so I just used it. This
implementation would not require any major changes to what already
exists, just add a little trigger to the panel and allow Alt+Tab to
adapt to its position so that it doesn't have to center everything
when moved.
On a side note: I really wish we could keybind Alt+<Key above Tab> to
move between windows of the current app. Being required to Alt+Tab
then Alt+<Key above Tab> to move between windows seems like
an artificial limitation. /rant
