Going back to a method previously used, how about polymorphing a disgruntled dwarven fighter into a squirrel, then launching him? (Obviously, this would require critical timing, so that the spells expires right as he reaches the very suprised enemy formation & manages to inflict maximum damage.) In this manner, you could avoid the mentioned problem of his spikes sticking into the ground & slowing him down (and thereby reducing the efficiency of his airborn assault).
I do like the comment of lighting off the dwarven fighter's excessive gas and using this as a means of propulsion...Dwarven rockets, anyone?

For this polymorphing thing, it could be REALLY useful against large humanoids such as trolls, ogres and small giants, imagine, you fling the squirrel at a troll, the troll swallows it, the polymorph spell ends, and the troll gets ripped apart from inside, nasty.
How about bombing attacks? A gryphon rider with a large bag of dwarves polymorphed into the form of some creature that can't fly, then he opens the bag, raining destruction on the enemy army.
